The latest update to Friday the 13th: The Game, which included the awesome Single Player Challenges, came equipped with a full-on engine upgrade, the largest technical update for the game to date. Naturally, the massive changes have brought some new bugs and issues to the forefront, and many of them are being addressed in a brand new patch update.
Early/mid this week, the following changes will be implemented in the patch:
- Xbox One Crash at start – This was one of the highest priority issues for us. We’ve fixed two separate issues that could be causing Xbox Ones to crash at the “Press A to Start” screen.
- Vehicle Rubber-banding – This was another high priority issue for us. There are two Rubber-banding bugs that have been a problem over this past year. The first is the bug that appeared after the December patch and is a different issue than the one that is currently in the live build. While we had fixed the first Rubber-banding bug during our work for the May patch, the engine upgrade had also consequently created a new Rubber-banding issue. Both of these issues are very different, but look nearly identical to players. This has understandably caused a lot of confusion. We have made a fix for this newest rubber-banding bug and we hope that this upcoming patch will resolve the Rubber-banding issue once and for all.
- Numerous Gameplay Crashes – We’ve fixed a bunch of issues that could cause game crashing. This was another high priority issue.
- Missed or Missing Audio Queues – This includes door, window, and barricading sounds not playing. They should play now.
- Jason Car Physics – Jason should no longer be able to kick cars across the map.
- Jason Shininess Reduction – Jason shouldn’t be so shiny now.
- Savini Skin Pixelation – Savini Jason’s textures should look much better now.
- Speed Demon Objective – This objective should complete correctly for players now.
- Tiffany Swimsuit – Players can now correctly choose both the top and bottom of Tiffany’s swimsuit.
- Non-selectable Emotes – PC players should now be able to select any emote that they have unlocked.
- Key Binding – Added throwing knife functionality to key bindings.
- We fixed Roy’s orange hands.
- Emote Loop – The new dance emotes loop. Have fun dancing.
- Part 6 Jason Skin – Fixed some discoloration on his mask straps.
- Victoria Clothing Change – Victoria no longer quick changes her pants when she puts on the sweater.
- Muting Players – Addressed an issue to make muting players more consistent
The team adds, “We are still working on a number of high priority items, including the following…”
Character Randomization – This has caused a number of other issues including the wrong skin, wrong weapons, wrong Jason in intro/outro, etc. We are still working on this.
Counselors not being able to pick up items – May occur when swapping an equipped item with an item on the floor
Stun/Grab Floating – Occurs when Jason is stunned at the same time as a grab lands.
Violent Shaking during kills – Counselor bodies violently shake back and forth during the kill animation.
Grab Insta-kill – we’ve only seen this reported 2 times. If this has happened to you, or in a match that you have played, let us know. If you have a video of the match, even better.
Developer Harebrained Scheme gave those eager to check out their upcoming survival horror RPG GRAFT some much-welcomed meat in the form of a new story trailer. The trailer not only touches on the body horror aspect of the game, but also the relationship you share with someone you care about, and the potential consequences you face on your journey through structure known as The Arc.
Currently in development for release on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, GRAFT sees you attempting to escape the aforementioned rotting space station. The Arc is a continent-sized station that was once filled with biomechanically enhanced citizens, all working toward some greater purpose lost to time. Now the station is in ruins, its citizens now unrecognizable. And you have no idea how you got here.
In order to escape, you must tear pieces from your enemies to transform yourself into something new—something capable of surviving the horrors that prowl around you. Every Graft brings with it some piece of its previous owner’s identity, changing more than just your physical body.
However, you are not the only survivor in the desolation. Ancient feral experiments, strange abominations, and ruthless agents of a mad AI stalk you. You must use the tools in your growing arsenal as you fight through the horrors in a visceral new twist on classic survival horror combat. Know when to fight, and manage your resources carefully in order to escape alive.
