Oddworld Forums - Patch 1.02 Advance Notice

Hi Oddworld fans.

We are, as we've said, committed to ensuring that players of Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty have the best possible experience, and we fully plan to support the game and its players post-launch.

As such, our second patch (version 1.02) is now in active development and should, on release, address the following:

--------------------------------------------------

1.02 / A / In-game cut-scene issues

The in-game cut-scenes are showing issues with some PC configurations, and they run slower than the intended rate on others. We hope the fixes we're putting in place address these issues, resulting in smoother playback of the cut-scenes as intended.

1.02 / B / Ability to switch off various graphical effects

We're looking at implementing toggles for the bloom, lens effects, glow and AA in the game. Partly to address user feedback and partly to improve performance to some degree for certain PC spec configurations.

In addition, the issue with the 'shadows' slider not working as expected will be fixed.

1.02 / C / Controller remapping

We're looking into the simplest way to grant players the ability to remap buttons on their controllers in the next patch.

We hope that this ability will go some way to alleviating some of the issues with certain controllers not functioning the way we'd expect them to in-game. We'll have news on the specific implementation of this as the patch nears release.

1.02 / D / Meat grinder issues at higher frame rates

We're looking to address complaints that the meat grinders were running too fast at frame-rates higher than 60 FPS.

1.02 / E / Leaderboard fixes

Some leaderboards are reversed and some are incorrectly reporting completion times as 00:00. We'll fix those issues.

1.02 / F / Xbox 360 controller screen shows incorrect buttons

The game start screen that shows if the player has a controller connected incorrectly displays the functions of the four main face buttons. This will also be fixed.

--------------------------------------------------

These fixes follow the 1.01 patch released just after launch, which addressed and fixed several controller-related issues, including adding a deadzone slider and support for several Logitech controller devices. In addition,

We'll have details on the exact release date and contents of the 1.02 patch in due course - please consider this list our absolute best intentions, but without specific promises.

Thanks for your patience.

EDIT: I'd love to have the lens/bloom filter for the Xbox One version but it's still great that JAW are really responsive to the fan community and have no public ego about criticisms.
