Hi everyone,

First things first, let's talk about the most hotly discussed topic right now for Sable, optimization!

So! We did promise a significant change with this newest patch but we bumped into some further issues that we want to take the time to overcome and get right. We have made progress with this update and welcome your feedback on how the game performs for you. We know it will be different for everyone, but we hope that most of you will notice a positive difference. Rest assured, we'll keep on tweaking and working on optimization with future patches.

For those of you who felt motion sickness whilst riding Simoon (or Sandcutter), we'd like to hear from you about how it feels now. The camera had some changes made to make the whole experience smoother.

Now for the fun part, Photo Mode! 📸



Woo hoo! You can now take beautiful pictures of the world during your travels! Please note this mode has to be enabled in the settings menu before using it. Once enabled, the default buttons to enter Photo Mode are X on the keyboard and Up on the D-pad for your controller.



A certain someone had too much fun taking shots on their widescreen monitor...



We would love to see all your beautiful pictures, and I've heard that we might even think of doing a little photo competition soon...!

Now onwards, to the updates!

Features

• Photo mode. Capture the perfect snapshot of your adventures in Midden! This mode has to be enabled in the settings menu before you can use it.
  
• Added antialiasing as a display option. It is enabled by default.
  
• Reworked the navigator to work more smoothly.
  
• Added a display option to resize the text in the game.
  
• Rebound keys in the menu to improve usability for international keyboards.
  

Camera

• Made several fixes to the camera. The biggest one: it should now follow Sable more smoothly while on the bike, which hopefully should prevent some cases of motion sickness reported by players.
  

Performance

• Upgraded engine version to fix problems with frame pacing, which should reduce micro-stuttering.
  
• Optimized terrain rendering, AI agent simulation, culling readback, and virtual camera updating.
  
• Reduced texture memory usage.
  

Bugfixes

• Fixed mouse deceleration.
  
• Reworked the mechanic when Sable calls out to Simoon.
  
• Fixed so that waypoints can no longer be placed outside of map boundary by mistake
  
• All menus can now be closed with the Esc button
  
• Fixed an issue that cause the map to be cut off in certain resolutions
  
• Fixed an issue that would cause the current quest to be unmarked when Sable collects an item
  
• Fixed an issue that would cause Sable to be forcefully teleported while approaching the Black Desert Cartographer's location.
  

Thank you again for your feedback and support, more is always welcome, and we'll read all the replies here and on the forum.

Hi everyone,

We here at Raw Fury and Shedworks wanted to check in with the community, provide a minor update, and sneak peek into what's coming up in the near future.

Firstly the most hotly discussed topic: optimization.

We've been working hard at tweaking what and where we can, and we believe there will be an improvement in the framerate for many players. However, we'd also like to take a moment to say that as a small team, we've done our best (and will continue to do so!) to test and rework as many different types of systems and specifications as possible. While some players may discover more improvement than others, we hope that all of you will let us know if you experience any continued issues.

You can expect more details about this when we're ready to release the next patch. ♥

As for some screenshots... You'll just have to imagine how we managed to take these. ;)

Hello everyone,

We're thrilled to bring to you one of the most requested features for Sable, keybinding! You can now remap the controls for both keyboard and controller to your liking. We really appreciated your patience whilst we implemented this feature; thank you! ♥



We also have some other bugfixes, text and UI changes, so without making you wait any further, here's the complete list of updates for Patch 3.7.7

• Added key and button rebinding. To access this menu, go to Settings > Controls > Show controls.

• Several localization fixes.
  
• Fixed the swapped dialogues of Cartographers Charifa and Arzu.
  
• Visual improvements to the Navigator tool.
  
• Fixed issues with several locations on the map. Fast travel icons should now appear for Carab's Hold and Geyser Tower when the player has visited them.
  

[h3]Camera[/h3]

• Improvements to prevent the camera from clipping through objects.
  

[h3]Audio[/h3]

• Fixed an issue that would cause the ring shrine activation SFX to play unprompted while the player travels through the world.
  

[h3]Quests & Locations[/h3]

• [Remnants of Change] Chime Maker Aeyan will now be present in Eccria even if the quest Heartbreak in the City quest has not yet been completed.
  
• [Heartbreak in the City] It is now possible to bribe the guard to let Sable enter Merchant Iria's office even after quest completion.
  
• [The Wyrm] Fixed so that the player is not locked inside if they skip the second trigger to make the water rise at the end of the Wyrm, as well as some visual fixes in this section.
  
• [Nozi's Nibbles] The player should now be correctly rewarded with a Merchant's Badge after completing the quest.
  
• [Ships of Old] The player should no longer be soft-locked if they save and exit in Sizo's workshop.

• [Shadow of Neave] Fixed an issue that prevented the player from selecting dialogue options with the mouse.
  

As well as all of the above, we've applied additional fixes to objects, colliders, and textures in the game world.

We want to take a moment to mention our current sale for International Women's Day here on Steam. If you were waiting for keybinding or want to gift a friend the game, now's your chance with it currently at -35% off! We also have other awesome titles on sale so feel free to take a little peek.
