Bug: In Rime, Riven book repeated Myst island view

[Blightious]

I figured out the riven combo but it just gave me myst's vision, I have a video if that helps.
restarting the game gave me the correct vision of riven, but I was head scratching hard trying to figure out if I had done something wrong. I didn't need a guide as it was a cool and fairly straight worded puzzle, but kinda buzzkill when I realized it was just a bug.

For me the Myst book showed Channelwood in the viewer when I solved it...but also fixed on a reload.

To maybe help the devs, I did them in this order: Channelwood, Stoneship, Riven, Selenitic, Mechanical, Myst. They all worked up until Myst, which showed Mechanical. It was then stuck on Mechanical (tried a couple different ones including Riven) until I quit/restart, then I saw Myst properly.

Of course there was a little trial and error with the crystal settings as I went. I had wondered if perhaps trying to move the book carousel before it finished moving caused an offset. But perhaps not, since the image was stuck on Mechanical.

Still had fun.

Edit: running current latest version as of April 5

I got Mechanical on my Myst book. It's a fun bug. Guess which age you'll see!

Hi folks, this should hopefully be fixed in the patch that came out today, April 17th.

Just tried with the 17 April version, all the books work expect Myst which comes up with a broken/black & white blotch

Yeah, just played the new version: achievements are fixed, and most visual glitches were fixed as well! The only glitches that happened to me were: Myst view showed Selenitic instead; book views were a glitched black and white texture until I reloaded a save; and I'm pretty sure it used to play each Age's theme when you activatted its view, if that's the case it didn't play for me!

Same here, new patch has achievements working but Myst book showed mechanical age. I think it simply tends to show the last age one found before. After restarting the game, it showed Myst proper. Thanks for fixing the achievements, by the way!

I ran into the same problem with the most recent version (updated April 22). I tried to recreate the problem after starting from the beginning but now it remains correct.
Maybe it depends on when exactly you view Riven.

[Shirumic]

Looking at Myst shows the Mechanical age for me now after looking at mechanical before. When I saved the game and loaded it again, it seemed to have fixed itself.

[HankDazzle]

This is not fixed in the current build. I had done Riven first, then Channelwood, then Stoneship, and then dialed in the Myst code once I had it, and pulling the lever with the Myst settings showed Stoneship again.

I think you guys should put in a hidden achievement for viewing all the ages.

Also there is now a path where you will never see end credits. If you get the good ending, then you're told to go check out Rime, you are just trapped in the game indefinitely. You only get credits on the other endings.

I just bought the game on the weekend sale. It is still bugged.

Playing with random puzzles I too had the issue where it showed me Riven a second time when dialing in Myst's code and book. I also had a glitch where I had entered one of the codes for either Channelwood or Stoneship and it displayed the view when the Riven book was selected. I was brute forcing the books since i didn't know which code was for which book and trying each one in succession.

I think the bug depends upon the order that you view them.

I just finished solving it for Riven and got the achievement, but nothing happened. After reloading the game and toggling the switch at the bottom I finally got the imager working. A fun puzzle, though the tarnish of a bugged final puzzle leaves a rather disappointing taste.

Shorah! Unfortunately not. I have the same bug but with the Selenetic age.

However after reload the correct age is shown in the bubble.

Just solved the Riven imager book but it showed the Mechanical age. Saving/loading game fixed it.

I can also confirm seeing this sort of bug in the current version. (In my case, any valid book and code displayed Mechanical.)
