THE LONG DARK v1.88 (69021) CHANGELIST

GENERAL 

• Removed the ESCAPE THE DARKWALKER artwork from Main Menu.
• Users are no longer able to load DW saves via the Challenge menu.
• Fixed an issue that would allow players to enter an unplayable state, if they tried to re-enable the DW event by changing their local system time.

Well, this potentially (?) might've fixed the load screen freeze/crashing, as for the first time in 3 days I've been able to get outside of the Quonset as well as back in and out. We'll see if it holds true later. However the issue of key bindings mysteriously resetting to defaults is still there. Anyway thanks for patches as always

Should this mean, we can remove the start-up option "-force-glcore" under Steam settings?

[Zaknafein]

Thank you for this update!

While not in the changelist, this patch has fixed the following for me:

- Game now launches without -force-glcore in the launch options

- No graphics are stuttering

- No fps drops

- No save delay

 

Great job!

I would think so.

I had 2 hours of very welcoming non-crashing yesterday. Now, there was a sudden resolution / texture change between one of the loading screens, which dropped my fps mid-game. This is something I have not seen since last winter when it was a recurring occurence for me, and I still don't understand it, but I take that anyday over freezing (no pun intended)

I am getting black screen crash

[GroggyNoggin]

My key bindings are resetting to default every time I play. Very strange. I noticed someone else mentioned this as well.

Does it solve black screen crash ? When I intract a item it goes dark on ps4 pro

I have the same issue 🤔

And another one: I don't see the stats screen when I die in survival mode, just a black screen... But I can use ESC to exit to the main menu.

I have been having constant issues with the PS4 Pro going black screen when I pick up an item.  Sometimes I can get it back to normal by opening inventory and tabbing around, but other times I have to just quit the game and reload.  This is a serious bug!  And it’s new!

looking forward to December ❤️ 💚 💙 🖤 💛 💜 

stay safe.

I could now test the "without -force-glcore" setting, and the loading screens still keep freezing. Furthermore, I see a new problem (with -force-glcore of course) : if I want to pick up certain objects and hover the cursor over them, I can't, but towards the edge of the object I can. It's mainly with piles of objects, but I can't see any regularity.

I believe that's an issue for everyone right now
