Risen - Patch & Ports live!

[MegalomaniacNG]

To celebrate the launch of Risen on modern consoles (PS4, Xbox One and Switch) we also gave this SKU here an update.
The game now fully support DirectInput compatible gamepads (either use the launch option to force it or set Controller Mode in the games option menu). We also
updated the languages it supports (Polish and Russian are fully integrated) and added Steam Achievements and Rich Presence via Steam and Discord.
Along the way we did a few gameplay & technical (related to audio and physics) bugfixes, made it use 64bit and also added options like changing the FOV.
Savegames are also compatible with the old SKU and we also added Steam Cloud.

Also we have released the soundtrack for purchase here on Steam:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1876580/Risen_Soundtrack/

If you encounter issues please report them here: https://redmine.thqnordic.com/projects/risen-community/issues/new

Note about saves:
Saves from the old version of Risen are stored under %USERPROFILE%/Saved Games\Risen\SaveGames
You will need to copy them to for using them in the new version:
%USERPROFILE%/AppData/Local/Risen/SaveGames

Old version is still playable in the "original" beta branch that can be access in the app properties.

Enjoy!

Four issues immediately noticeable at the beginning of the game. Two minor, one middling, one major.

1. The first minor one. The "Allow Steam to make changes to this PC" popup comes up every time I launch the game.
2. The second minor one. The audio is INCREDIBLY quiet.
3. The middling one. Unless I'm crazy, there's no way to adjust mouse sensitivity. It's been years since I last played the game on PC, so I can't remember if the option has always been missing.
4. The major one. Why, in the name of all that is holy, is jump bound to R3/Right Stick without the ability to change it?

Yeah music is really quiet. I didn't start a game yet I was only in menu to check options and I had to max volume on my headphones and it is still pretty quiet.

2. We are investigating.
3. There never was. Is the current one an issue?
4. We cant offer gamepad remapping unfortunately. Do you have a suggestion for another button mapping?

Yeah the game, as in: process, is set to like ~10% volume in sound mixer. I restarted the game couple of times and every time it did reset back to that low level.

I thought maybe that was me (I do that sometimes, depending on the situation), but here I had no need. But thought maybe it did it by mistake, and game crashed and somehow it didn't save... but if happened few times in a row.

ed: tested it again.

1. When the game was active I set volume to max in Win sound mixer.
2. Closed the game normally via main menu.
3. Opened Risen (keyboard mode) again.
4. Sound is back to low level of ~10-12%. Screenshot:

2) Yea Audio is super low. I personally can fix that with Voicemeeter but would be nice to have not to do that :P

How long will take to hotfix this issue with volume of sounds?

For mouse sensitivity, I mean, I can adjust it in my mouse settings, but it really should be in-game. Especially since you can adjust camera sensitivity when using a controller.

As for the jump key, anything but clicking a stick. If it's not used for anything else in "exploration" mode, maybe circle or triangle? Having not played the game ever on controller, I don't know what "secondary action" means, but if it's not used much, then it might work. For the case of using circle, it appears unused outside of combat, and you don't really need to jump while in combat anyway.

Two issues:
1) Texts in some places are really small, especially ones over items.

2) As mentioned above, sound is quiet. In game it is set to correct level, however in the Windows' volume mixer - very low (around 10 maybe). Changing does not really help - it changes back every time game launches and/or new game/load game is chosen. Bizarre.

For some reason the game sets the windows mixer to 1/10th on the slider.

To fix, alt-tab out of the game, right click on the lower right "audio" icon and select "open volume mixer". Drag the mixer slider for Risen all the way to the top

You can 'fix' it on your end by manually setting volume to the max in Windows sound mixer.
Click RMB on the speaker icon in the task bar and open sound mixer while Risen 1 is running in the background, drag slider to the top.

As for now you have to repeat it every time you launch the game.

Because of the update, you can no longer strafe while browsing the inventory with the KB/M setup. Pressing A or D switches between items.

I can't click on 'Quit' when trading with merchants.

• Steam Deck 16:10 screen is completely unsupported and choosing 800p break FOV and stretched all 2D artworks and text. :(
  
• Also FOV increase option in graphic menu which i try to use for compensate zooming image in 800p deck screen is broken. Its zoom back in every activity, picking anything make camera to zoom to default and back to new value. Visiting inventory do same thing,
  
• Choosing new FOV number and accepting always drop by 1.
  
• Text is small, let us choose bigger font.

So playing one deck, everything HUD element is stretched and camera wobbling forward and back in any activity (Or playing with black bars in 720p). Also old DX9 renderer is really power hungry, why not giving us xbox DX11 which probably would be more power efficient and give better compatibility with today's modern PC.

Hello. After the update I can't load my saves, I can only start a new game. The saves are still in my folder on disk C anyway. What should I do?

[hexaae]

I have an error every time I launch the generic game (1st voice, not the Gamepad or Keyboard option):
https://i.ibb.co/jVXTgc9/g-CScript-Admin-Load-Script-DLL-24-01-2023-20-28-32.png
gCScriptAdmin::LoadScriptDLL
"Could not load script module: D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Risen\bin\scripts\Script_Game_Patch.dll. Enter debugger?"

EDIT: it was a problem of the Unofficial Patch 1.3 previously installed. Removed those extra files (compiled\library.p01, compiled\sounds.p01, compiled\speech_english.p01, compiled\strings.p00, common\projects.p01, common\templates.p00, bin\scripts\Script_Game_Patch.dll) and problem is gone.

Also very low audio issue.

It's nice that you added the Xbox 360 achievements and a 64bit support. after such a long time. But what's more important to me, what are the plans for Delta Force Xtreme 2? I bought a Steam key at Amazon and it's not possible to play the game at all. Neither Singleplayer or Multiplayer. How long it will take to fix this issue?

drop fps 60>30
system requirements have changed for the new version?
UPD: vsync off or fast vsync = stable fps
