Estranged: Act II (tuxdb.com)

October Update: Quality of Life Changes, Official Estranged Wiki

A version update for The Departure is now live on Steam for Windows 32-bit, Windows 64-bit and Linux (version 1.5.50), including advanced graphics options, a Ukrainian translation, and quality of life fixes.

Advanced Graphics Options

Estranged now offers the following Advanced Graphics options under Options > Graphics > Advanced:

Enable Highest Model Detail - Turn off distance-based level of detail transitions for models
Enable Highest Shadow Detail - Don't scale dynamic shadow quality with distance
Enable Super Sampling - Render at 2x resolution

These options are designed to future-proof the game for future hardware (and as a result will not perform well on the current recommended hardware specifications).

Other Quality of Life Changes

Several quality of life changes are now available, including:

Supply crate tweaks so that if no resources are needed, nothing is spawned - see thread
Save/load fixes in the prelude & epilogue sections
Ukrainian translations contributed by the community

Official Estranged Wiki

There is now an official Estranged wiki available at wiki.iamestranged.com which contains all lore to date sourced from in-game materials (with some bonus extra information). Some notable pages to get started with:

Arque Corporation is a multi-national corporation responsible for Deep Sea Operations, Logistics and Chemical Research according to its website, with significant presence on the Island in the form of multiple research facilities.
The Fisherman is the main protagonist and playable character in the Estranged game series.
Infected are enemies in Estranged: Act I and Estranged: The Departure. They are humans, presumed to be previous inhabitants of the Island.

One of the motivations for compiling such a wiki was to help the development of Arctic Cold, since as you can tell by the size of the wiki there is now a lot to the Estranged universe to keep track of.

The original idea and inspiration for a wiki came from the existing Fandom Wiki (I based the structure of the official wiki on this one). The official wiki is not open to contribution, but if you see something that is missing or not quite right, please let me know and I'll fix it. -- Finally, if you're interested in a peek behind the scenes of the in-game update news feed The Departure had while it was in development, I recently posted a writeup: Update News Presentation Markup for Games. That's it for now - I hope you enjoy this update, and find the wiki interesting! Alan
