Probably due for a Part 3 at this point! Glad for all the recognition for these great artists.

Thats right.  Really, it's pretty much a soldering iron with removable tips.  I've tried different shaped tips, but I find the standard wedge tip gets the job done just fine.

Those are wonderful, @Khan_Drichthyes, thanks so much for sharing! 

Good luck out there @stratvox. 400 days already, and now in Hushed River Valley. Stay vigilant! 

Great, foggy shots! Thank you @Vonwoah and @MrWolf.

Nice work! The one with the stove must have been especially useful!

@Patrick Carlson any plans for the team to bring the original hinterland logo mug back to the shop?

The new ones are just not the same. I'm not personally a fan. The campfire mug design is neat and fits the game, and that's something I'll definitely bring for my next camping trip! But as far as home consumption goes, it's just so small. And burns your fingers if you try to actually use it. It's really more of a novelty than anything, and if I pay 40 bucks for a coffee mug I'd like to put it to use.  I sure do miss my old mug

Our branding has been updated since we had the older mugs, so I don't know of any plans to release that version. Sorry to hear yours was broken!

That being said, we appreciate you letting us know of your interest in the ceramic style.

In other words, you did not even begin to make a patch for console versions of the game, did I understand you correctly? This is "wonderful" news Patrick, now I know that in the next six months (or more) I will be engaged in other things, and not play your "wonderful" game. I always dreamed of buying an expensive console version, and get the most unstable version of the game. Add to this, and the pleasure of such technical support, when some will play the game, and others will look out the window (for example).

Sorry to hear you feel this way. We'll be publishing the hotfix for consoles as soon as it is ready, as we have always done. And of course we appreciate everyone's patience in the meantime. Thank you.

when will the patch be available for console versions of the game?

We don't have an ETA on the hotfix release for other platforms at this time. As soon as we have more to share, we will. A big part of the Test Branch was ensuring our Unity upgrade was stable, and a wider release on Steam will help us confirm that before we launch on consoles.

I have sent to the Hinterland Support an email, that also included the latest email exchange I had with Humble Bundle's own  support, about the Directors Cut - version of the game that was for sale few years back in Humble Bundle's store. All I got from Humble Bundle was a Steam Key for the game. I thought that was just because the game was still unfinished by the time of the purchase, so there was no means of sending any complete physical copy or any of the extra material (art book, Documentary, DVD) of the game yet. I waited and the game was finally launched alright, but other than that, silence. Same applies to that email I sent to the Hinterland Support, nothing happened, just silence. Still waiting for an answer though... 

Thanks for following up @Hyssch. We continue to work to fulfill all the backer/Director's Cut rewards, including physical copies of the game and the other extras you mentioned. As soon as we have more to share on delivery of those items, we will. Probably the best place to keep an eye out for that information is our mailing list here. If you have any other questions, feel free to message me directly. Thanks again.

@admin when will the patch version for ps4 be available?

We hope to have them out tomorrow - I've added a note to the post. Thanks for the question.

Something might have gotten borked on your system.. I'm updating on Steam right now from 1.17 to 1.19 (Win7), and it's only a 420MB download

On Steam, I'm being prompted to Install?  I just played last night.  3.2G download started...

Yes, the Steam hotfix is relatively small, and only reflects the changelist above. As JAFO mentions, if you already had the game updated to 1.17, it shouldn't be that large for Steam users. 

1 minute ago, hozz1235 said:

Looks like a PS4 user has a 3.5G download for 1.19.  Wonder why so large for small Release Notes list?

PS4 and Xbox One get the complete Update today - you can see the full changelist for consoles here:

How/In what containers are posters shipped?

Great question - posters from the store are shipped to you in a poster tube, for their protection. Should be safe and sound on its way to you.

@cekivi @Patrick Carlson @admin

Any chance someone can please confirm that the GOG version will receive this update as well?

 

Yes, the December update will be for all platforms.

And i still got no answer from the Merch Team due to the old clothings...

It's very likely then we are out of the "old"-style clothing. We did make the switch to the new branding some time ago. Sorry to hear you don't find any of the new shirts or hoodies to your liking.

Have fun, everyone!

I always enjoy your skewed release dates.  The other 7-and-a-half billion of us would probably call that the 28th...

Not sure what's skewed - we can only exist in the time zone we happen to be in as a studio - and that happens to be Pacific Time. 

Just now, MarrowStone said:

@Patrick Carlson Hmm, the code's not working it seems, (I use pc steam and copy pasted it and even typed it) just a friendly heads up.

Maybe im impatient and its released a little after 11 haha.

Note the time zone - 11 PM PST!

Wasn't this on both steam and xbox last year? Why only on Steam this year? I feel like console players aren't really a priority. And, last year I seem to recall being able to continue playing past the event without issue...

Unfortunately, we can't currently run different branches of the game on consoles and we wanted to make sure the event was opt-in. We hope to run other "live" events across all platforms in the future though.

So hey, its October now.. Soo are the proper devs back to actually fix the bugs, so i could play a game, that i havent been able to play for a month, cause of the bugs? 

 

 Hard work and everything, but the game was way better in EA.. 

Hey @Vermit - For now I'd suggest contacting support@hinterlandgames.com directly and we will follow up with you as soon as we can.

No dice.  I ordered it a long time ago through Humble Bundle, does that change things?  I followed the instructions, entered my code, and when I go to The Long Dark it shows the DLC as installed (see screenshot attached), but when I go to Library>Music it's empty.

You'll want to go to Steam Settings>Music and then rescan your game files. This should get the music to show up in your Library under "Music" - the tracks will be listed under "WINTERMUTE", so keep an eye out for that.

I have TLD on the Xbox. Steam won't let me purchase as I don't own the Steam version. Please please can you find a way for us Xbox players to buy this music  -thank you. I am waiting here with my money!

@liam We're working to make the Soundtrack available on iTunes as well - we'll be sure to let everyone one know when it goes live on that platform. 

Hey @Blinkin - as a Backer, did you receive/redeem a Steam version of the game? I know you play on GOG typically.

Right now Steam keys (via Humble Bundle) are the channel for delivering the Official Soundtrack to Kickstarter backers.

I don't think you guys get what I'm saying...I need the F9-F11 keys freed up for other programs while I'm playing TLD.  I exited TLD last night, and my entire desktop was filled with freaking png files everywhere.  I've been using my overlay keybinds for several years and am not changing them for a single game.  

I don't need some kind of new tool to take a screenshot...it makes no sense why they would lock those screenshots keybindings, that's why I'm asking if you can mod or disable them.

I see. No, we don't currently support modding in this context. But I will ask about freeing up those specific keybinding in the future.

Is there a way to remap my screenshots keybindings, like a steam workshop mod?  I use F9-F11 for my Afterburner overlay and I hate them going to my desktop.  I'd just like a mod to change the keys.

While the screenshot keybindings are currently locked in the Options menu, there are a variety of programs you can use to grab screenshots while in-game, including Steam's own overlay which works just fine and sits on F12.

Completely agree, my game has already lost ALL OF my progress so I cant even play until I know I can actually progress through without having to start ALL over again.

We working on a hotfix with Microsoft right now. Thanks for your understanding.
