Patch 1.1.25326 codename "Bedelia! I want my cake!"
NEW! More menu options. Now you can fiddle with resolution, FPS, VSync and much more like modern games do. Does the film noise effect offend you? Off with it! Want to play in windowed mode while watching YouTube? Go for it! You can even set a retro quite 1028x768 resolution like Scratches did 20 years ago. Based on our tests, even very old computers without a dedicated GPU can handle ASYLUM now.
NEW! Gamepad icons. Tutorials now correctly show gamepad icons if you have one connected, meaning ASYLUM can be promoted to Full Controller Support.
Missing VOs have been fixed. Now you can ask everyone about wire cutters.
Better paced VO duration during dialogues.
General menu improvements in addition to the new options.
Multiple language updates and fixes.
A glass in the gaming room wasn't dirty enough, so it's dirtier now.
Under certain circumstances, a certain item had be picked twice to have in your inventory. Not anymore.
Some typos were fixed.
Showers now remain open all night, in case you want say goodbye to the teddy bear before completing the game.
Final puzzle tweaks, crucially better handling if you leave and come back.
Fix when showing the menu at the end of the game.
A new video was added in the ending sequence. No, no crazy new revelations, just a door that was missing. Also please stop perusing these patch notes for hints about the ending. We will NEVER do anything of the sort.
Don't you find it weird how some characters in the game insist about geometry and shapes?
Character logs now cleared up when you restart the game.
Fixed a close-up in Ebersbacher's office.
Some Lenny animations have been improved.
A certain item in Hawthorne's office is more visible now, so you don't miss it.
A certain item in the third floor to solve a certain puzzle is more accessible now.
Certain music fixes.
More certainties.
Fixed an erratic crash caused by the new option to disable camera motion effects. We're sorry about this regression!
As usual, we appreciate everyone's patience as well as your thorough reports during these first couple of weeks after launch. Next week, we expect to finalize all outstanding localization issues (very few now), and work on the more fun stuff such as Steam trading cards.
Regarding Steam Deck, we're working with Valve to get that Verified status. With this update, make sure your resolution is set to 1280x800, FPS set to 60 and Visual Acuity set to Low for a consistently smooth experience. Alternatively, you can set Acuity to High and FPS to 30 for an extra bump in quality, which is what we prefer anyway (framerate is overrated). All of this will be handled automatically shortly, in addition to revised Deck controls.
