Hello dear Compulsion game. I play the Russian version of the game. And I found 1 mistake, after finding the note "Probable refuseniks" where there should be a list of people who helped the game financially, there is a completely different letter from the woman to Uncle Jack.
It's a shame just :-( Correct, please.

Your Delta

Is this patch also on PC game pass version? I see the game there is 1.8 in the menu. Can you update it?

[EbonHawk]

NPC's react really oddly to noise distractions (I have seen this with the rubber ducky and the glass bottles). When tossing a distraction thingie, a lot of NPC's will blink out of existence and reappear near the object, sometimes facing right at me. It seems like it should be better for them to notice the noise, then head toward where they heard it come from. The one just outside the train station building is particularly weird. He blinks out and respawns up in the air maybe 6 or 7 feet up on the wall at the broken archway there.

I have not had such problems. Regarding the previous answer: my game does not require updates.

[Pandafunkey809]

it is finally available to mac, but when I install it it doesn't install the files for some reason and when I try to run it it says, missing executable glimpsemacshipping or something

[Regular Ol' Sammy]

Any chance of another performance/AI behaviour patch? Game is still dropping from 60 to 30-40 FPS for me once I hit a town, and the AI has been pulling some pretty dumb stuff (staring at me in combat, not attempting to attack, running into corners, etc).

It'd be a shame if not, I've been really liking the game so far otherwise.

[ZeldAlice]

Twice lately (and I dunno why), but when doing that side-quest for Cultry when working as his Meat-boy (or more like prisoner), and you ruin that machine with the broken part. The first time when he comes down to check you should hear that classic, awesome and hilarious; "YOU BLEW IT UP!!!" but in my latest two playthrough he goes there and just walks around and says nothing. Anyone who knows why this is?

[wyrtensi]

More updates?

[spiderpool2955]

hope they make a dlc where you can make your own character maybe in the start of the joy and stuff that would be rad

[DarkCloud100]

Manual saves are still broken 2 years after release

[masura]

WORK

Some thing is wrong with the, developers of we happy few. developers mentioned. a 1.9 update 2019 nov 11. but yet 2 yrs later no update. i have seen at least 6 different bugs.
ai teleporting, sitting on thin air, laying on each other while they in a bed, town sunk in a hill side, floating polygon's way up over water. and seriously strange ai behavior in general. interesting game and all, but when a developer abandons their game it just becomes crap.

[м]

the game is still a broken mess. played 12 hours and got to a city called St. George's Holm where i'm supposed to enter another part of the city but the metal shutter doors won't open, so basically preventing me from continuing the two main quests.

in other quests the required npcs just fell into the floor. "quest failed".
seriously, the game feels like early access,

i wouldn't care so much if the game wouldn't have the ridiculous price of 59,99€.
but for this high price i expected something at least remotely playable.

it's surely not fun if you have to reload savegames you saved hours earlier just because the game doesn't properly function.

[SquirrelGoHard]

last update? the game is no longer updated?
