Myst News

Hey all, Myst version 1.8.7 (Windows Only) is here. And with it, comes… FULL STEAM DECK SUPPORT!

Features

• Myst will now autodetect to optimal graphics settings when playing on Steam Deck for the first time (this will not affect games that are streamed to Steam Deck; it only affects game instances from installations on the Steam Deck itself). Autodetect can be used in the graphics settings menu to bring you back to these optimal settings on the Steamdeck version of Myst at any time.
  
• Updated credits localization for a few members.
  

Fixes

• (SPOILER) Fix for a little piece of Atrus’ hair floating away from his head while in D’ni.
  
• Fix for player height being a bit off in VR when descending some ladders around Myst, regardless of Quick Travel On Ladders enabled or not.
  
• Fix for “(Restart Needed)” showing up next to the ray tracing option if you simply auto detect your graphics settings in the graphics settings menu, without modifying the ray tracing setting at all.

Hey all, Myst version 1.8.6 is here, which is a hotfix for 1.8.5 (it included a fun new feature called "Legacy Navigation Mode" for those who may want a navigation mode more akin to what is used in our older 3D titles.)

Features

• Achievements should work on Mac now! (As well as the Steam overlay in general).
  
• More robust gamepad support to get us closer to being Steamdeck verified.
  

Fixes

• Fix for Legacy Navigation mode inadvertently causing players to disengage with puzzles while in puzzle engage mode.
  
• Fix for the Quick Travel on Ladders setting causing you to feel a bit shorter than usual when you descend a ladder in VR.

Hey all, Myst version 1.8.5 is here, with a fun new feature called "Legacy Navigation Mode" for those who may want a navigation mode more akin to what is used in our older 3D titles.

Features
- Myst’s file size is now about 5% smaller.
- Legacy Navigation mode: Available in the controls settings menu for platforms that support mouse & keyboard or touch controls (it will be hidden in VR!). Selecting this option will allow you to move around by double-clicking with a mouse or tapping on the screen (touch controls in general are still a work in progress though). This is different from node mode, as this mode will move you smoothly forward until you let go of your left mouse button.

Fixes
- Potential fix for some users not seeing the interior of rooms when loading games inside of the room.
- Fix for particular areas of the game not loading properly if your system’s language was set to a language not supported in Myst.
- Tweaked some menu formatting.
- Scaled up some gameplay context subtitles so they’re a bit easier to read.
- Increased texture fidelity on some portions of Achenar’s temple and the elevator interior in Channelwood.
- Fix for the “Teleport to Safe Spot” confirmation dialog running off of the screen when playing in the Russian language.
- Fix for camera button prompt not showing correct prompt when using a controller.
- Show the “rotate” tutorial when interacting with the generator in Stoneship.
- Updated the credits to add some extra names.
