Revisional Differences#

Changes between versions of the game.

1.0.14753#

Official Patch Notes#

Initial release.

Revisional Differences#

• Initial release.

1.0.14826#

Official Patch Notes#

No official Patch Notes were provided.

Revisional Differences#

• In the initial release, the "ChoiceStats" videos for all episodes were present. ChoiceStats are the short videos that play at the end of an episode and tell you what percentage of players selected the choices you made. They were inaccessible through gameplay, but could be discovered when datamining the game. In this update 1.0.14826, the ChoiceStat videos for Episodes 3-8 were removed. This was likely due to someone leaking these videos online, which contained massive spoilers for future episodes.

1.0.14838#

Official Patch Notes#

No official Patch Notes were provided.

Revisional Differences#

• In the previous versions, the blueprints for the FMOD events/triggers of all episodes were present. FMOD blueprints essentially tell the game what audio to play at certain moments. The blueprints for Episodes 3-8 were removed in this version. Although these blueprints had no in-game function, because the audio files they triggered were not yet in the game, they had revealing names that could also spoil the events of future episodes. They were likely also removed in an attempt to stop leaking.

1.0.14855#

Official Patch Notes#

No official Patch Notes were provided.

Revisional Differences#

• In the previous versions, the Localization files for all episodes in all languages were present. The Localization files contained all in-game text, such as UI elements and subtitles. In this update, the Localization files for Episodes 3-8 were removed. Again, this was probably damage control for the leaks going around.

1.0.14864#

Official Patch Notes#

Fix to audio levels and audio slider settings functionality for the final scene in episode 1
Fix to Galen's tutorial pop-up on Vanderstenk scenarios in the episode 2 gameplay shift preventing players from progressing

Fix to an issue where players who had Dispatch Demo save data were experiencing hero stats, and ability unlocks being transferred over into the main game during episode 2's gameplay shift
Fixes to progression blockers in Episode 2's gameplay shift including the inability for players to navigate between the two Vanderstenk calls, and player's getting stuck on an empty screen after completing the Museum Hacking scenario
