Atanatar Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 on the other hand, this way they have ideal position to test the changes (via users feedback) and also catch the Winter Steam Sale which is a big stream of revenue for them. I can understand this approach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not asking about the DLC release, I'm asking about the free update to the main game as it pertains to consoles. The update that does the loot refresh and makes it impossible for us to play our old saves. Is that being done now or is it being held back until the DLC releases? again.... this has been answered before. Or on a different way: How can your saves on XBox bedeleted when no DLC has arrived? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm presuming the base changes will delete the saves not the dlc content. console users want to know whether the base update will be at the same time as the dlc? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's exactly what happened with PC/Steam users, so I can't imagine it being different on other platforms. For reasons outside the game I was forced to restart my PC, that in turn resulted in my having to relaunch TLD, which in turn resulted in the update automatically downloading from Steam and my saves disappearing - all before I had the option of purchasing the DLC. (for the avoidance of doubt, this isn't a gripe - I was expecting it. I had hoped to get Astrid somewhere nice so we could say our final goodbyes but that's my issue....)

I have no idea if the base changes and the dlc will be available separately or not on console. I have a disc not digital copy of the game so updates aren't compulsory until I decide to go online and do it manually. Its still a bit confusing for some of us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are still there on my PC and I could probably use them if I went down the time capsule route. But those old saves aren't compatible after the update, so they don't show up any longer.

peteloud Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 I would have much preferred HTL to have put their efforts into finishing and releasing Episode 5 before they released the DLC. This way we could have a complete TLD using the same games format and saves. After that an updated TLD Ver. 3.00 with the new regions could have been released. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies for the confusion. We will provide dates when available, however we included our planned release window on the Expansion Pass FAQ: https://www.thelongdark.com/expansion/faq/ The free and paid update go live at the same time. We will let players know in advance, just as we did for PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'm seeing is the DLC, plus two sound tracks and the base game itself. I already have the base game. All of these pieces are separate. I'm not seeing something called Season Pass. Is this DLC it - the current content and the right to updates for the next 12 month for $22? The DLC is called TALES FROM THE FAR TERRITORY.

The update that does the loot refresh and makes it impossible for us to play our old saves. Is that being done now or is it being held back until the DLC releases? Going forward, for each subsequent fee update, will they occur at the same time as the PC free updates, or will they lag behind the PC since it appears that the DLC will lag behind the PC releases for the upcoming year by about 2 months for each one? Alternatively, will the first console DLC release include the stuff in the second PC release (catching up then to the PC)? You did say that your plans for the console regarding this first DLC release hasn't changed...I get that... it's late January or early February. The announcement implies, however, that the free update stream is something separate and that is what I'm asking about. ETA: You know what - just forget it. See you in February 2024. I'll just play something else until then. Apologies for the confusion. Both the paid and free updates are part of the Expansion Pass Update. You can continue to play your current save until TALES FROM THE FAR TERRITORY is available to you. We will provide a date as soon as once is available. Thank you for your patience.

If it's active, it should show a part of the new region. It would also say either "Survival", or "Tales from the Far Territory" in the top left corner, depending on whether it's active or not.

Then it seems that it is active (at least) now. But I started a game yesterday and I am not sure if it started while the DLC was already active. When I am in the game and I look at the map of the region overview I can't see the Airfield noted there, while all the older regions are named on that map. Is this intentionally?

Thelek Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 This is all fine and dandy, but when is it coming to console? Ilove what i see in the videos, and i really want to get my hands dirty in the hangar. The one video said it was dropping for all platforms at the same time, but i can't find hide nor hair of it in the game store. And does that mean that the update for the base game hasn't dropped yet as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's better to wait and get it with less issues than get it now and have major problems like crashing. Plus companies like Nintendo are notoriously slow at "checking" games for problems themselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
