Epic Version Has Extra Content

[mdesaleah]

Checked. It has the first person mode, camera bob slider, infinite ammo options that the Steam version never got.

You also keep your save from Steam, so there’s no reason to stick to the Steam version now

[IFearSnowman]

well unless you dont care about a 1st person mode, a camera bob slider and infinite ammo as an option

[mdesaleah]

Could even have better optimization since I find that version of the game loads MUCH faster than this Steam version too.

Wait, the first game has these extra contents ?

It used to be for the Microsoft Gamepass version only, but now Epic has it too and its giving the game for free now.

Steam just never got those additions.

Does that mean you can remove the headbob in third person entirely?
Or is it just for first?

You can edit the headbob and it affects both third and first person.

I just leave it set to Low since leaving it higher is pretty annoying. There is no full "Off" option, but I'm also not sure if Low leaves it off entirely since I havent really paid attention to if its still there. It doesn't feel like its there, but it could be just very very little?

Come to this forum just to ask about this. Thanks a million for the confirmation.

Wow, glad I grabbed the Epic version even though I've owned this Steam version since release. I had 0 idea it had any sort of exclusive content/modes...

Evil Within 2 will be the next free game, does it also include any exclusive content or was it just the first game?

The mouse movement is still as bad as this version. MS Store version is very smooth.

I think 2 has always been the same across versions.

Epic game title only includes the base game and not the three DLCs that the game received. And yes came with fix
"..in 2021, when it came to Xbox Game Pass, Tango quietly added a bunch of new features to The Evil Within, including a first-person mode, field-of-view options, and a tweak to stamina. (Sebastian can now sprint for a full five seconds, compared to his usual three, on default stamina levels.)
Tango also added an option to make the game much easier, with infinite ammo" http://shttps://www.polygon.com/23924250/the-evil-within-free-download-pc-epic-games-store - polygon

I skipped to Chapter 8 since my Steam save carried over, so I never played through the start of the game on Epic.

It could be just an issue on your end that no one else has, so maybe verifying files could work.

@mdesaleah
I thought that might be the case but I looked it up and apparently chapter 2 is heavily bugged for many, many people. This was even before epic gave it away for free. I got through chapter 1 with no issues whatsoever. Then it crashed in 2, after the 2nd or 3rd crash I decided to look it up and yes, many people have the same problem. I've changed resolution, MXAA (iirc) to MSAA and other suggestions but it still gets random crashes. Verifying did nothing.
