Impact Winter 3.2 / Выжить суровой зимой

Improved framerate and loading times

Text issues fixes

A bunch of collision issues are now fixed

Various bug fixing which would be too long to display here

Hello Survivors,

This latest update brings us to Impact Winter V.2.0.
There have been many bug fixes and adjustments made since the last update, mainly focusing on performance and tech…
• Performance: major improvements to the game’s FPS across all machine specs. Players should see noticeable differences to how the game runs.
• Further improvements to load times.
• Various control fixes and adjustments
• Various collision and navigation fixes
• Bug: Stranger icons (radar) now disappear if stranger is no longer active
• Bug: NPC flee event now behaves correctly
• Bug: Skidoo collision issues fixed

Aside from the notables above, there have also been many other miscellaneous bugs fixed since the previous version.

We are also pleased to announce a new addition to the game: ‘Expert Mode’. This is a new challenge for seasoned players (or the more hardcore amongst you) that introduces permadeath to the experience. Unlike the standard mode, Expert Mode will not allow you to continue your game if Jacob is killed, meaning you’ll have to survive a full 30 day playthrough without perishing. Note: this also comes with its own achievement.
We are also pleased to announce the addition of Steam trading cards to the game.

Finally, we’d like to take this opportunity to both thank players for their support and apologise for the issues at launch. We’ll continue to work on the game and listen to feedback as we continue to support the game.

For Japanese players: because of specific requirements, this patch will be added deployed with a slight delay in Japan.

This patch includes a lot of bug fixes that cover a wide range of areas from UI to gameplay. Here are the most noticeable fixes:
• Audio/SFX bug which affected volume and looping sounds fixed
• Bait can now be set in traps
• Role list fixed to counter unlockable role bug
• Trapped animals are now persistent when you move out of range
• Ice surface graphical glitch fixed
• Rotated ice/shore bug fixed
• Can now only view trinket shelf when trinkets have been collected
• Ceiling collisions added to stop RC Ako-Light leaving some scenes
• New pathways added to allow players to easily reach highest mountain area.
• Stranger Locked Chest mission fixed (with better reward for completion)
• Scrolling text glitch fixed
• Various skidoo bugs fixed (collision issue when riding and Ako-Light facing wrong way)
• Various translation fixes

Since last update, the team has been focusing on general fixes across the whole game, including translation bugs, event/behavior issues and general gameplay/UI problems.
The remaining controller issues from the previous build have also been addressed via the following fixes:
• Controller support for Logitec controllers (F710 & F310)
• Fixed bug where using DualShock controller(s) would disable Xbox left/right D-pad
• Right stick is now fixed for DualShock controllers
• Fixed Safe bug where items would become locked to mouse cursor

Here is a list of the main fixes it includes:
• Regional Keyboard support: US/UK, French, German, Polish, Russian, Chinese, Spanish should be properly supported.
• Fixed an issue that would impact controller support if controllers were swapped during the game.
• Fixed a bug that would make NPCs not going back to the Church when they had a role that would make them explore the Void.
• NPC’s roles that make them explore the Void no longer drain energy and temperature as part of the role, but now drain naturally as part of their actions e.g. energy drains faster when running and temp will drop faster based on weather (Forager, Searcher, Explorer, Harvester, Hunter, Fueler)
• NPC can now return to the Church while Jacob is present in it.
• Increased NPCs’ speed when traveling in the Void, making them reach their destinations quicker.
• Slightly increased the energy drain speed of Jacob.
• Jacob can now sleep when below 90% of energy, allowing more frequent saves.

We hope to fix the remaining controller support issues by the end of next week. We have delayed key binding implementation due to more urgent issues, but we keep this feature in our sight.

Have a good week-end!

For further updates:
We have heard your concerns and they will be taken into account as quickly as we can.
Here are the updates we are planning for the coming days and weeks:

VERY SHORT TERM OBJECTIVES
Improvement of Keyboard and Mouse controls
o Mouse support in menus and in the game.
o Remapping and improvement of controls, including mouse
Removal of the launcher (the launcher has no real use and is confusing for a lot of you).


SHORT TERM OBJECTIVES (within 1 or 2 weeks)
Continuous improvements of Keyboard and Mouse controls, taking into account your feedback. We also want to implement several keyboard / mouse configuration layouts.
We have found a way to cut loading times by half, but this requires proper testing to make sure it doesn’t impact some areas of the game. We will release this as soon as possible.
Support of localized keyboards (Azerty, etc.)

MEDIUM TERM OBJECTIVES (within 3 or 4 weeks)
Implementation of custom Key binding.

Mojo Bones and Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe teams are working around the clock to make sure we’ll stick to this plan.
Obviously, we’ll also continue to fix remaining bugs and improve different areas of the game as a long term support for this game. We’ll also continue to take into account your feedback at the best of our capacity.
Be assured that we’ll keep you posted about the content of patches regularly and about our updated plans.
We apologize for the inconvenience and hope to bring you a smooth Impact Winter experience as soon as possible.

Best regards,
