Pathfinder's Patch Notes [1.0.1]

Greetings, Pathfinders!

It’s me, the Chief Pathfinder - though friends just call me Jasper! You’ve probably guessed what I’ve brought you, right? A treasure map?! Well, not quite! It’s a map... of patches, to help you find your way back to your tribe! Not sure what any of this means? Let me explain what’s drawn here!

In the list below, the items marked with [🧭], were added thanks to your feedback! We appreciate your input and strive to make the gameplay as comfortable as possible.

• 🧭 Fixed the issue causing a long exit from the game.
  
• Fixed achievements not being granted when Steam is disabled.
  
• Because there were changes in the trees and connections between talents, they have been reset and the currency returned (see below).
  

• 🧭 The missing characters in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean localizations have been restored.
  

Commentary: During integration, some characters disappeared and we didn’t re-check them in the pre-release rush. We apologize once again for the inconvenience, and thank you for pointing out our mistake and for your patience!

• Fixed the texts of talents and abilities (including thanks to your feedback).
  
• Corrected some texts in the Russian localization.
  

Commentary: We continue to refine and improve localization across various languages, and your help and feedback are invaluable.

• 🧭 Increased the rope length in “The Path to the Dungeon of the Unbowed.”
  
• On the local map, paths that are currently unavailable by story have been hidden.
  
• Added a waterfall to prevent accidental entry into the "Defaced Marshes."
  

Commentary: We spent the entire weekend manually rescuing you from that trap. It’s awesome that you’re interested in climbing into unusual places—we’ll keep that in mind for future DLCs!

• Added visual improvements to the Crushed Tunnels and the Labyrinth of Living Whips.
  
• 🧭 Fixed problematic areas based on feedback in the "Altar of Those Who Call for Vengeance," the "Secret Hideout," and the "Sanctum of Weapons."
  
• Added missing damage zones in the "Defaced Marshes."
  
• Improved visuals in the "Prologue" locations.
  
• Adjusted layers for small objects in various locations.
  
• Several secrets now open correctly.
  
• Fixed camera colliders in some locations.
  

• "Beasts of Legend": Nix appears in the village if the rumor is closed on one of the endings.

• "Root of Evil": Added a marker on the local map for the "Find the fruit-bearing plant" objective.
  

• 🧭 Added an option to disable "screen shake."
  
• 🧭 Adjusted the confirmation delay. Now everything works correctly without having to restart the game.

• The Many-Faced’s Haptophobia achievement now grants correctly.
  
• Slightly reduced enemy damage on "High" difficulty.
  
• 🧭 Slightly reduced the flower’s damage in the first phase of the fight.

• Hybrid Assassins no longer apply Nanites if the player has taken the corresponding talent.
  
• Adjusted the bomber’s projectile in the Iron Wastes.
  
• 🧭 Slightly increased health for several end-game bosses based on your feedback.

• Directed Blast now reduces incoming damage by 30% for 15 seconds.
