[h2]Bug Fixes[/h2]

• Fixed: Game Over scenes still had issues with loading the most recent save
  
• Fixed: Pyra’s first quest, when having Atlas do your letter deliveries, would result in a broken quest
  
• Fixed: Pyra’s quest marker to talk with Clay was too low and hard to see
  

This covers all PC platforms.
[h2]Enhancements[/h2]

• Change: Adjusted autosave interval to every 1 minute
  
• New: Created an autosave limit of 15 saves to reduce autosave files but still allow for a reasonable history of saves to reload
  
• Change: The character select screen is zoomed out more at first to show all 3 characters.
  

[h2]Bug Fixes[/h2]

• Fixed: Oldskee Quest (Sage - northern plains) - if you left the gate open by the graveyard it is still open and makes the sequence odd
  
• Fixed: Controller prompts were large images for certain controllers (now we have pixel controls for all gamepads)
  
• Fixed: The character select screen was missing the floating entity above the character heads
  
• Fixed: Bandit cave - missing Sage dialog and instead Sage talks as if they are a supporting character
  
• Fixed: Summiton Classroom (test day) - when trying to go downstairs, Sage would just get stopped with no dialog from Crystal
  
• Fixed: Summiton Plains North - The Dog & Boar on the east of the map would sometimes not trigger the battle sequence. This would break Sage’s Oldskee quest
  
• Fixed: Loading a save from the Echo Nodes (Yellow, initially) would use the wrong save system and not properly load (game would restart)
  
• Fixed: Dying would result in starting a new game instead of loading the last save - this was true whether you have access to the echo realm or not
  

[h2]Known Issues[/h2]

• Sometimes picking flowers causes a hard lock in the game requiring a restart. This is a challenging issue to reproduce and we’re still working on it
  
• The first time you boot the game after the update, continue may not show. Work around is to close the game and re-open it.
  
• Saves may be appear duplicated in the load menu, this is just a graphical error.
  

This patch is currently only for Windows due to build times and our available time to update each version. We will follow-up on all builds on Monday, 8/26/2024

[h2]Bug Fixes[/h2]

• Fixed: The continue option would not show properly even when there were known saves
  
• Fixed: When selecting continue, Atlas would still be selected even when he had no saves
  
• Fixed: Pyra’s “Errant Errands” quest: When Atlas sits on the bench in Summiton, you can’t talk to him and instead sit on him
  
• Fixed: Selecting the 2nd accessory would show the wrong stat effects - they would all show negative as if the 1st accessory would be removed
  
• Fixed: Summiton Bridge/Bandit sequence would end with a hard lock post-sequence
  
• Fixed: Leaving a house as Pyra (usually the dojo) would stay on a black screen until you pressed the decide button a lot (would not properly fade in)
  
• Fixed: Yellow Echo Node in Nottimus Forest would cause a hard lock after choosing an “Attune” option
  
• Fixed: After the character select, the screen wouldn’t do a slow fade, resulting in visual oddities
  

[h2]Known Issues[/h2]

• Generic or older controllers cause visual issues in the input prompt display
  
• Various visual oddities on maps or as part of cinematic sequences
  

[h2]Bug Fixes[/h2]

1. Fixed: Cloud settings were not working properly to turn on/off
   
2. Fixed: Pyra's room red flower pot would cause a game crash
   
3. Fixed: Fighting the Dog & Boar in the east of Plains North would cause a permanent black screen after battle
   
4. Fixed: PS5 controllers would cause odd visual prompts over the screen (corrects prompts now show)
   
5. Fixed: Generic controllers would cause odd visual prompts - now defaults to XBOX buttons (temporary) if the controller is unknown
   

[h2]Known Issues[/h2]

1. If you have saves for a non-Atlas character, and go to "continue" or "load game", the cursor starts in the wrong place (but you can move to other characters)
   

A small update to fix the following issues:

1. Fixed: Quest log was not showing quest information
   
2. Fixed: "Broken Bridge" cinematic sequence ended in a locked state (unable to move the character)
