Peaks of Yore News

Overlooked climbing simulation game Peaks of Yore drops new mountainous DLC

Climbing in videogames tends to occur in one of two ways. You either hold down a button and run at a cliff face like in Horizon Zero Dawn, Tomb Raider, or Assassin's Creed, or you get far more in-depth like in GIRP or Jusant. Peaks of Yore falls into the latter category, being a physics-full recreation of what it was like to scale mountains in the 19th century. Already a hit with a 98% rating on Steam, it's been expanded with some new DLC focused on the Alps.

[h2]Returning after playing long ago?[/h2]

If you are returning after playing a long while ago, you might need to Migrate your old save to the new Save Slot system.

To do this, you will get a prompt to do so once you go to Begin > Normal Playthrough > Migrate Old Save.

If the "Migrate Old Save" doesn't show up and the slot says "0% COMPLETION", Delete the slot.
After deleting the slot, the Migrate prompt should show up if you have an old save file stored.

NOTE:
You can only migrate old save data to the new system if you have a "peaksSaveData.dat" file in the location below:
Copy & Paste the path below into windows search, then press 'Enter'.
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\TraipseWare\Peaks of Yore

Should you run into trouble with the new save files "PeaksData_Normal_0.es3", then you can use the backup files which are stored in the same location:
"Peaks of Yore\Mode_Normal\PeaksData_Normal_0.es3.bac".
Simply remove the ".bac" extension in order to use the backup file.

[h2]Peaks of Yore - Patch 1.8.1[/h2]

This patch has a few updates and miscellaneous bugfixes, as well as adding support for DLC content, so be sure to check it the updates below.

[h2]Updates[/h2]
  • Added DLC support.
  • Changed default hotkey for "Restart Map" to F5.
  • Adjusted the audio volumes on the sea in Great Gaol and Lightning in Cromlech.
  • Increases the random wait times slightly between attacks from birds in Wally and Avian Chaos mode.
  • Added an additional visual UI text cue to let you know which crampons you are currently wearing.
  • 6-Point crampons force has been slightly nerfed to reduce confusion between the upgraded version and make the upgrade to 10-Point seem like more of an actual upgrade. 10-Point crampons remain unchanged.
  • Removed auto time attack score migration to prevent previous scores being written over when using another PC. This would cause issues with saves when using Steam Cloud. Time Attack Migration can be accessed in Main Menu > Options > Misc Options > Migrate Old Scores.

  • Fixed a bug with Wally summits not being reset when dying in YFYD.
  • Fixed an issue where you would still tumble after a fall when stopped in the air by a rope.

  • Miscellaneous visual fixes on a few Great Gale maps.
