289 MB patch?

[Bjørn]

Greetings!

I just noticed that a new rather large patch was downloaded for the game when I started Steam. Anyone else had this? Not been much activity from this game, I think (although I noticed I had forgotten to follow it now).

Anyway, I had completely forgotten about this gem of a game that I haven't finished yet, so it was a nice reminder anyway.

Edit: When launching the game, there is an option called "Bonus: Prologue" in the Steam launcher. Was this there before? Maybe that's new...?

[NobleKnight]

Hello! Yeah, I had this today, too. That was surprisingly huge update for such an old game. Maybe some bug fixes. Bonus Prologue was here before - it was free "bonus content" to this game.

And there are no info about this on the game official FAQ website...

Hope it isn't some hacker! I started the game briefly. Worked good.

There will probably be info later.

Not sure if this file was there before.. but it said it was created anew during the patch..

Annas Quest - Interview Dane Krams.mp4

*was this file there before?*

A lot of other dll additions.. and various file updates. but that was the biggest one.

According to it there was no that interview file before. It's just the same interview game already had "Annas Quest - Interview Dane Krams [PL].mp4" but with English subs instead of Polish ones.

Game got 64-bit executable on Windows, it was 32-bit only before.

Visionaire configuration tool now fails to run from the menu because they replaced VisionaireConfigurationTool.exe with VisionaireConfigurationTool.bat and forgot to update Steam configuration settings for launching it. But you can run it manually.

Now you can select rendering mode in that tool - OpenGL/DX9/DX11. The game was OpenGL only before.

I have the Linux version, and I'm getting the 289 MB patch too. I looked at the file structure and can tell that this isn't just the Windows version with a Wine wrapper. And honestly, I can't believe that this big of an update to a point & click adventure game would only be back-end stuff. There's gotta be content to this as well.

So I looked at that SteamDB link. And the theory that I have is that the files that are being modified to be slightly bigger or smaller are probably being re-uploaded as new versions of existing files.

Yes, I wrote the first paragraph before starting my research and the second paragraph after starting. But now that I started to look into the files that are being modified, that's honestly what makes the most sense.

Hey sorry for the confusion.

Besides the infos in the patch notes we also reorganized the bonus content and added some missing files. Cause we already released this game for consoles we decided to add the same rework to the pc version. So we now have nearly the same versions across all platforms with all the features like gamepad support and also touch support on the steam deck.

The issues you maybe encounter when starting the Bonus Prologue or the 64bit executable are currently under investigation.

Hey, we released an update regarding prologue and 64 bit executable. Hopefully everything is working now.
