This update is awful

[Just a smol cat]

Chapter 1 looks MUCH worse than before on best graphics, fps is so bad the game is unplayable, chapter 2 menu is broken just like on release and doesnt save changes, and after quitting i have to hold mouse to pan the camera around, inventory is broken, chapter 1 graphics are SUPER bad and the game just feels weird... Even the godamn menu is laggy as hell. Did you guys even playtest this or what? This doesnt even feel like something mob made. Oh well... downgrading time

I can honestly deal with the graphical downgrades in Chapter 1, but Chapter 2 is so bad. The entire game has huge framerate drops I had to downgrade my graphics to medium to achieve a decent FPS. I remember before the "remaster" it ran fine on my PC. Is this a problem everyone is facing? If so, has anyone filled a bug report if its a bug?

Ive seen a few people saying they have fps drops even though they above decent specs. And the graphics are also pretty much the same for everyone from what ive seen. I wonder if the devs did an oopsie and updated the wrong port of the game lmao. this certainly doesnt feel intentional

I did not manage to experience the game with best graphics much because of the huge drops, so I don't really know how it looks. My PC has decent specs and could run the chapter fine even with the best in-game graphics before the update.

Let's hope this is the case and that this entire mess is just bugs that can be fixed.

If its permenant im downgrading the game idc. Theres also other issues too. The game looks like its permenantly on low graphics, chapter 2 menu doesnt save changes, inventory is broken, lighting looks bad or even nonexistant in some areas, game forces you to hold mouse to look around after pausing.. ive never turned the game off after an update so quickly, so much for being excited for halloween for this update....

Chapter 2 does look better, but there's that bug you described where you can't move the camera with the mouse after pressing the escape key. There's so many things wrong as well: Lag, having to let go of the button on the mouse used to fire one of the grab pack hands when grappling up a lot sooner than we used to, sometimes it doesn't register when swinging across a gap, Mommy Long Legs' hit box in the final chase is bigger and you can die easily, the power poles make a sound when you're doing electrical puzzles, the one to power on Statues disconnects after a while and you can't connect your other hand to the second button, the credits screen at the end of the chapter is all white; but you can hear the music that plays during the credits, and the audio of the tapes goes to static a bit while it's playing. With the previous version, I was able to stand in the corner of where you have to swing across to get back to the emergency exit door and Mommy Long Legs would run by me and continue onwards. Now, when I tried that again, she jumpscares me. The only things good are that they added subtitles, made the picture of Chapter 2 better, added a flashlight, and added "replay encounters" to the menu for the game.

I am disappointed with Mob right now. They need to fix all those bugs!

For me i cant even play chapter 2 anymore because it cant go above 20fps. But i was able to go till the game station and idk, the game looked a lot darker but at the same time the lighting felt it was on a low setting in some areas. Remember the teasers the spanish account posted on twitter? It doesnt look as good as those. And the poppy case room at the start has no lighting for some reason.

I know! Like, did Mob even test the chapter after putting those "updates" in before submitting them into the game to see what the rest of us would think? Because I don't think they did.

Judging by the glaring issues such as the lights in turning on like two meters in front of you, the pausing camera bug and the settings not updating, it definitely looks like they didn't playtest.

They should have and noticed that the update would cause all those issues and take those issues out of the update before submitting it.

Indeed they should. This further reinforces my theory that they don't care much for anything that won't give them more attention.

It's understandable that they're focused on Chapter 4, but if they want to release an update for 1 and 2 they should do it well. Otherwise it's better to not do it at all.

But alas, Chapter 1 and 2 won't provide them with characters to sell 40€ plushies of, so they don't care nearly as much.

Agreed. They really need to look at the updates with chapters 1 and 2 and see that there are so many problems with it and correct them ASAP.

I can't even get the game to load a chapter yet. It just stays on the main menu after the update. Before this, it was working perfectly fine...

Edit:

Never mind. I had to start a new save. Whatever.. Linear game and short, so I don't care. Still annoying though and the game does look less detailed.

Funny how they removed the graphical settings menu, or is it just me? xD

The game used to look really good graphics wise before this update and was much more optimized, and yes they did remove the the graphics menu lol. Now "quality" is the only option and the game looks like crap even at best. Me and people theorize they just copy pasted the ps version on pc, didnt optimize it, didnt change the graphics, didnt change the menus, just straight up called it a "steam version", slapped it on pc like a sticker and made sure its at least playable. Chapter 2 looks a bit better with best shadows, however there are many bugs and the optimization is non existant

I have looked at comparison shots of my old version and compared to the new version. All of the menus are different visually and the graphical settings are definitely missing. Overall, settings have been simplified. The "merch" (merchandise) menu option is obviously not there, but that's unimportant compared to what affects the game and could be seen as an improvement.

The graphical quality is different in the lighting detail around reflections and shadows. Details are different in some places and something is off about the colors and texture detail. I haven't done a full check here, but this is definitely inferior quality to the earlier version.
