ENCASED — PATCH 3 HOTFIX 2: Critical bugs, cosmetic fixes and more

Encased: A Sci-Fi Post-Apocalyptic RPG - Iron_Orca

Patch 3 saw the introduction of a large crashed transport plane event, gamepad support and a completely overhauled in-game vehicle system. We fixed some of the remaining bugs in Hotfix 1; only the most significant edits remained, which took us almost 2 months to implement. Hotfix 2 - released today - includes fixes for critical bugs, localization fixes and several UI improvements.

Critical Bugs

Fixed an issue where some vignettes would ‘break’ the game when a player tried to go back to previous slides
Fixed the dialogue logic with Audrey (after the Parasites quest); if the anomalous essence was stolen and the player tried to receive a reward, the dialogue would freeze
Fixed incorrect loading of the Fops Camp location, when one of the inhabitants of the camp occupied the spawn point of the player's car
Fixed the display for Atilla in characters’ hands and in the inventory menu
Fixed a bug where the companion's weapon ended up in a player's inventory when the companion died or left the team. It was previously impossible to remove the equipped companion’s weapon

Important Fixes

Fixed a problem with the new markers appearing on the map related to the MTT Eldorado event
Fixed context menu; now you can inspect an item in any situation (even if it is inside a container), an NPC’s inventory, in the barter menu, etc.

Localisation

Fixed localisation of the text appearing upon receiving a new perk
Fixed some buttons localisation
Fixed incorrect translation of the Credits tab in the main menu; it was previously named About
Removed incorrect text in the Settings tab
Fixed description of Attack Reroll perk in French and German localisation

Cosmetic Fixes

Fixed line wrapping in feedback window
Fixed layout of the Leave Location window; with an increased font size, the text on the buttons previously did not fit into the line
Fixed layout for the elements of the global map; with an increased font size, info on travel time previously did not fit into the line
Fixed incorrect colors for skill points required to unlock a new Abilities tier

ENCASED - PATCH 3, HOTFIX 1: Gamepad tweaks, critical bug fixes and cosmetics

Encased: A Sci-Fi Post-Apocalyptic RPG - KochMedia Johan

The last patch was a real test for the team – we’ve added gamepad support, new content, expanded on car mechanics, and added a Linux version. And, of course, bug fixes.

In today's hotfix, we've addressed a few bugs that have been discovered, and also made some cosmetic changes to the game regarding sound and level design. The list of fixes and improvements is provided below.

Critical errors

Fixed infinite start of the battle on the Desert Road location
Fixed inability to initiate dialogue with the air duct on the -1 floor of the C12-Nashville facility
Fixed non-working scissor lift at Magellan Station - Residential Level

Gamepads

Fixed an issue related to interacting with items on the belt when near interactive location objects
The character that was controlled by the player earlier stops running in the indicated direction when choosing another character
Fixed problems with selecting the girder using analog stick at the Camp of the First Settlers location

Locations

Fixed incorrect lighting at the Stone Forest location
Fixed incorrect lighting at the Magellan Station - Warehouse and Parking Lot location
Fixed patency at the Destroyed Concord Station location

Sound

Fixed incorrect sound effects in the dialogues at the Kaleidoscope Bunker location
Vignettes with cars now have sound
Vignettes with Ursula now have sound
Vignettes with additional automotive content now have sound

Miscellaneous

Fixed absence of damage for squad members that are outside the scope of the Church implant in the Camp of the First Settlers location
Fixed a situation where each tick of damage caused the companion to say an “injured” line

Changed how companions auto-resurrect after battles in Story difficulty mode
Fixed incorrect display of brass knuckles in a character's hand when switching weapons

ENCASED - PATCH 3: CARS, A PLANE IN DESERT AND GAMEPAD SUPPORT

Encased: A Sci-Fi Post-Apocalyptic RPG - Iron_Orca

The full version of Encased was released in September and we’ve since introduced several hotfixes - and a couple of major patches - where we thoroughly worked on the UI, optimisation, level design and other aspects of the game. But all of this (with the exception of the special Halloween patch) was related to the content that was already in the game. That's great, but how about something new? Such as what we promised during our kickstarter campaign.

With this in mind, we started developing Patch 3. Today we are happy to present it to you and let you know what awaits you in the first (but not last!) large-scale Encased update.

A new adventure and cars

Before the Spire Station was built, cargo was delivered under the Dome by aircraft. One such aircraft - a decommissioned military transport callsigned Eldorado - made a hard landing in a mountainous area and was abandoned. A few years later, the plane which was devoid of life, began to broadcast strange signals... You’ll need to find out what is happening at the crash site and what fate befell the scientific group that went to investigate the plane shortly after it crashed. Oh and, by the way, on board the plane you can find a unique piece of clothing for your character as well as tons of loot.

We have redesigned the game's transport system; players can now steal almost any car (except those that will never run again). Having a car brings on many changes: not only can you navigate the map faster, but you also unlock new encounters, many of which can lead to highly unpredictable outcomes.

And conversely, we’ve added a little more predictability to random events in which you can encounter travelers named after kickstarter backers; as of now, if you convince someone to join one of the factions, upon arriving at the settlement, you will most certainly meet them, and some of such characters will become merchants.

Bug fixes, gamepad and Linux version

We have long promised to add gamepad support to the game and spent a lot of time and effort on its implementation. Additional options have been added along with the gamepad and now you can adjust the font size - or enable high contrast mode – which will make the game more accessible to play on a large monitor or TV. Or, for that matter, on a small Steam Deck display.

We also released a Linux version of the game and fixed a lot of bugs, errors and polished some minor rough edges – the fixes were so numerous that we decided not to make a list at all this time. Believe us, you will still see enough of them, because we do not plan to abandon Encased, and in the near future a lot of new and interesting things await you.

Thank you for your support and please stay tuned.
