Patch Notes (1.12.2.0)
Hob - PrimeDirective
  • Stability improvements.
  • Butterfly collection should increment properly.
  • Added a ladder in electric zone for easier return traversal.
  • Adjusted deathfall sound volume.
  • Improved camera angle during certain puzzles to make it easier to see.
  • Updated vista map markers.

    Note: We are very close to tracking down the launching crashes folks are getting with Nvidia 10-Series graphics cards. If you're running into this issue, try reinstalling your MSVC++ redistributables (see Launching Issues for more info on how to do this.) If you receive an assert message at this point, let us know via support@runicgames.com which one you received. Removing one or more of the microcodecache.bin files (info also in Launching Issues) may resolve the issue. If not, rest assured, we are working round the clock to resolve the issue. Thanks to everyone in the community who has taken time to help us track this issue down!
