• Locations that contained pitch black darkness have been brightened up a lot, making environments possible to explore at ones own pace, allowing for easier navigation and removes some of the oppressive atmosphere.

Amnesia Re-collection bundle

Amnesia: Rebirth added to the Frictional Collection Bundle

When we released Amnesia: Rebirth in October we were quite happy to see that very few major bugs got reported. At Frictional we have tried to adopt a zero defect policy throughout the development of Rebirth, which basically means that defects and bugs should be fixed as soon as they pop up, and that approach seems to have paid off. However, during the first few weeks of this year we started seeing an influx of reports surrounding a new specific type of bug. It seemed text, crosshair, interaction icons and menu art started disappearing a bit randomly, while people were playing the game. As you can imagine, this took us a bit by surprise and since we couldnt reproduce this thing ourselves we felt quite powerless as to how we could do something about this. Luckily, a few weeks back, we actually experienced the same issue myself on one our own PCs. This finally gave us something to work with and we eventually managed to trace this bug back to a Windows 10 patch that was released late last year. It seemed that in certain cases the GPU was reading data before the CPU had finished writing it, causing UI elements to randomly disappear. With the help of our friends at Nvidia we managed to find a way to fix this issue and after having had this tested out on our BETA branch on Steam (thanks everyone for helping out with the tests!), we now feel confident that the problem has been solved. The new patch has already gone live here on Steam with the Steam BuildID: 6257379 If you encounter bugs or problems, please reach out to us on our support platform here: https://frictionalgames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us

With the fall sale in full force, we add our first sale with 15% off of Amnesia: Rebrith!

Custom Stories

Patch 1.1 for Amnesia: Rebirth is out now! This patch is mostly about bug fixes, both some linux focus, some blockers and other minor issues. The most notable change for most players will be the ability to skip memories by holding the interact button (left mouse button or right trigger if on a gamepad). In summary:

• You can now skip memories by holding down the left mouse button, or right trigger on a gamepad.
• Linux graphics glitch fixed.
• Various blockers fixed.
• Various bug fixes.

• Mod-support. We are almost there, but want to test it properly before launching it.
• More linux fixes.
• General bug fixing.

Today we released a new patch for Amnesia: Rebirth, containing a few improvements worth pointing out. The change that will most likely have the biggest effect on the experience is the toning down of the fear flashes. These flashes were never really meant to be scares in themselves but their main purpose is instead to clearly signal to the player that their fear is reaching critical levels. Sometimes its difficult for us as developers to fully compute how these things will affect the overall experience and its not until you start seeing them in gameplay sessions (by youtubers and streamers) and hearing about them in feedback from players, that you realize that youve taken them a bit too far. We have therefore now toned down the audio and visuals of these flashes as well as tweaked how and when they appear a bit. They are still an important aspect of the game and serve a purpose, but will hopefully strike a better balance from now on. Fixes and improvements contained within this patch are: [olist]
