Hello Community,

This Hotfix addresses multiple issues introduced in the v.2.28 update for TALES FROM THE FAR TERRITORY.

 

Bug Fixes

This Hotfix includes fixes for the following issues:

 

GAMEPLAY, UI, CONTROLS

Thats great! But what if I already picked them up on my long save 🥲 are they ruined forever??

Thanks Hinterland for all the bug fixes, you guys rock.

Thanks for all the hard work!

[Amir]

Thanks a lot.

The occasional crashes on PS5 seem to be resolved too! 

However now I'm experiencing frame drops... it seems to happen when there is a lot of stuff to be rendered on screen. For instance, when I'm at the camp office in ML (outdoors), if I look to the direction of FM there is no frame drop, possibly because it's the end of the region and there isn't too much stuff there... but If I look to the opposite direction (Hydro Dam) I experience frame drops.

Btw, I'm targeting 60 FPS.

Thanks again.

Unfortunately yes.  This is only fixed in future runs and for those who haven't been to the areas where they're found.

Thank you, guys.  The Long Dark is my favorite game of all time.

After having spent some time to really comb through it all, I thought I would highlight a few that really caught my attention:

[Addendum]
I've also noted a significant reduction of the initial load time following the general disclaimer since this update.  Unexpected benefit.

No fix for special recipes that restore condition on Misery?

I wonder if these recipes are supposed to allow condition recovery ?

I don't know, but it seems strange that a pie can do something that a stim can not.

Were there a few little hidden environmental surprises added during this patch?
 

I’ve found a couple things:

• a new safe
• absence of a rim grill where there had been one before

And has Zone of Contamination been polished? It would appear so, both from audio and visual perspectives.

Where did you find the safe? And the missing grill?

[UTC-10]

Someone posted somewhere the presence of a rim grill in one of the Indolent Hoppers buildings (they posted a screen shot) and I know that it does not exist (ever) in my game when I went through ZOC Indolent Hoppers. 

It was reported (in that instance) that that rim grill had a tendency to "eat" any skillet, pot, or recycled can left on it.  That the rim grill was "taken out" seemed a likely "fix" though I understand that some still report its presence and its appetite.  

I would note that it was not in a logical or sensible location per se for a rim grill, a fire barrel would have made more sense.  Since there was neither when I passed through I had to lay a campfire next to a near by workbench.

It was indeed the one in Indolent Hoppers. 
 

I liked it from a roleplay perspective. It made sense insofar as the entire space is littered with metal junk, so a tire rim didn’t seem out of the question. 

I’d never had ANY issues with losing objects to it.

I hesitate to disclose the location of the safe I’d found, bc people may complain if it’s removed from the game, &c

It’s in the Mine and in a place that makes NO sense whatsoever.

Oh I see.. thank you..  

The mine itself does seem a rather odd place for one,unless it's in one of the locked offices down there..

[The Feng Hunter]

It was not in one of the mining trailers … it was just hangin’ out, chillin’. Crappy loot too … I’m guessing it was an error. (I accidentally closed the window and forgot about this thread! So sorry!)

No worries😊.    I don't suppose it's any odder than a bunny in a shower lol

Any news on the Switch / Last Horizon addition? How are things going with TFTFT part 6 and Wintermute episode 5?

I think they will update Wintermute 5 in December. Because they said that everything will finished in 2024. And TFTFT will get update in autumn. And cougar will back with switch EP5 update before TFTFT. So I am prety sure we will have cougar and switch update this month. And TFTFT EP6 in October or November. Just maybe.

[icedambitions]

I know you guys have said you don't want to do this multiple times before, but a co-op for this game would be really cool on survivor mode.
