Outlast 2 – First Patch is Out to Rebalance Game Difficulty
The very first patch of our recent nightmare fuel has arrived.
Red Barrels’ new horror title Outlast 2 launched on April 25 and we can’t stop talking about it since. And, I guess we won’t since it bothers me every night when I am trying to sleep and we are still trying to understand what really happened.
The first patch of Outlast 2 is now out and the most noteworthy part is that the patch brings some minor adjustments to the game’s difficulty in key areas in order to prevent heart attacks. All kidding aside, Normal difficulty players will have a more balanced experience and shit less while playing Outlast 2. If you want to lose your sanity, you can still choose Hard and Nightmare difficulties.
Also, from now on microphone will not use extra batteries. YAY! You can read the full notes below:
- Global rebalancing of the game difficulty.
- Microphone no longer uses extra batteries.
- Increased the size of subtitles.
- Fixed an issue on Intel HD 4000 cards where most dynamic lights were missing.
- Fixed an issue where flickering black squares appear in the center of the screen at some specific resolutions.
- Fixed an issue with alternate controller mappings and the camcorder UI.
- Fixed an issue with double doors where one of them is locked.
- Fixed an issue causing lost save games when Steam somehow fails to initialize.
- Fixed some heretic sound effects.
- Fixed multiple minor gameplay issues (collisions, crawling, tutorials, etc.)
- Fixed multiple rare crashes.
- Added a “-refreshrate 60” command-line parameter to specify a preferred refresh rate (replace 60 by the desired refresh rate).
- Added a “-notexturelimit” command-line parameter to remove texture size limits based on VRAM amount.
- Added a “-borderless” command-line parameter to use borderless fullscreen and not have to edit INI files.
The patch is available for PC players and will hit console versions of the game soon.
Give me my hammer and nails.
