TALES FROM THE FAR TERRITORY, PART FIVE -- "LAST HORIZON". Now Live!
Accessed from the Zone of Contamination, Sundered Pass is a dramatically vertical region that reaches deeply into the spine of the Far Territory, showcasing some of the mountainous terrain that separates this area from the rest of Great Bear Island. Seek out the abandoned Weather Station near the summit!
Picking up from Buried Echoes, Last Horizon delivers the third and final Tale, a trilogy of stories started with Signal Void. Follow the clues leading from the Zone of Contamination, deep into the heart of Sundered Pass, hunting for answers to the story of Rdiger and the weird experiments he spearheaded in the dark depths of the Far Territory.
Keep an eye open for this dangerous new threat. Territorial, silent, and deadly. If you arent paying attention, the first time you see the Cougar might be your last.
If you survive encounters with the Cougar you might end up with the raw materials you need to craft these two new Cougar-themed gear items.
Rare and especially tough clothing items unlocked by completing the Last Horizon tale.
Unlocked by completing Last Horizon, these feats provide unique gameplay benefits.
The first new experience mode added to THE LONG DARK since 2016s Interloper. Misery ratchets up the difficulty of Interloper even further, adds the Cougar and Scurvy to the mix, and over fixed intervals introduces a series of six entirely new and incredibly punishing afflictions. Experience the five stages of Misery in the most challenging experience mode yet!
The first change to THE LONG DARKs save system since launching in 2014. Upon death, be tempted to continue playing but not without accepting intriguing penalties that stack with each subsequent death. Adds an optional gameplay twist and a player choice to the experience of death and failure. And if you want to play using permadeath as usual, just resist the temptation to Cheat Death! ***
If you encounter issues with the game, please report them to our Support Portal at hinterlandgames.com/support. If you would like to provide feedback or discuss your experiences with the game with the development team or other players, please post your feedback in the Official Forums: hinterlandforums.com/forums. If you encounter a crash or issue with the game post-updating, please contact us as we can often help players address their issues, and we always strive to! This is more productive than jumping to post a negative review. Please remember that Hinterland is a small independent developer. Our Support Team strives to respond to all reports as quickly as possible, but as you can imagine, releases are our busiest time. We appreciate your patience, and please know the team is looking into your issues and we will resolve them as soon as we can. Unfortunately, we are not able to follow-up with every individual report that is submitted. But we appreciate them all. Thank you for reading, and many thanks for your support! ###
The team is currently aware of the following issues in the game. If you encounter one of these issues, there is no need to report it to the Support Portal. Fixes for these issues are slated to go out with the first Hotfix following the initial release. * The Travois can rarely fall beneath terrain after transitioning back to where a player left it. * The final affliction of the Misery Experience mode will not be applied when the player reaches their 46th day in Survival. * Rarely, players may lose control of their camera after choosing to Cheat Death. Reloading the save will resolve this issue. * Players can become stuck in the final location for Tale 3, if they choose to quit and reload in that location. * In some Regions, when attacked by the Cougar, no sound effects will be played. * Picking up the Teardrop Vista Polaroid, no associated Vista location is revealed on the map. * Players save file will be changed to a generic name after using the Cheat Death feature. * When in a Cougar occupied Zone of Contamination, the player will experience no Cougar attacks.
This Major Update includes fixes for the following issues:
* Fixed an issue which could result in the player hanging on a black screen if they began a new Survival game too quickly after dying.
* Added a new assignable hotkey to open the Cooking tab. (Default 'G') * Adjusted the Ptarmigan meat interaction to be more accurate to the visible object. * Fixed an issue where Poisoned Wolves would not leave footprints in the snow. * Fixed an issue in Zone of Contamination where some areas which cause Chemical Poisoning visual effects would not increase the associated Affliction Risk. * Fixed an issue in Ravine where animals could spawn in incorrect locations. * Fixed an issue in Timberwolf Mountain where Bears could spawn beneath the terrain. * Fixed an issue where some kitchen cupboards were mislabelled as drawers. * Fixed an issue where harvesting a frozen quartered Wildlife with a lit light source would result in that light source being stowed while still lit. * Fixed an issue in Forlorn Muskeg near the High Blind which resulted in a corpse that could not be searched. * Fixed an issue which caused potatoes to stop cooking inside Foreman's Retreat when the player exited this location. * Fixed an issue which could prevent Ptarmigan from spawning in specific locations in Mystery Lake. * Fixed an issue where cups would not drop to the ground after breaking down a table in the Airfield Hangar.
* Fixed an issue in WINTERMUTE Episode 4 which caused a cliff face to disappear when viewed from a specific distance in the Blackrock Region. * Added more detail to the interior of all helicopters. * Fixed multiple issues in the Langston Mine where objects and environment intersected each other incorrectly. * Fixed an issue in Desolation Point where a tree intersected a nearby cliff. * Fixed an issue which caused a visual strobing effect on exterior light sources from within the Forgotten Exploration tunnel. * Fixed multiple item placement issues in the Forsaken Airfield - Zone of Contamination transition cave. * Fixed multiple issues which could result in a player becoming stuck in the Forsaken Airfield - Zone of Contamination transition cave. * Fixed an issue which resulted in a visually flat rope in the Forsaken Airfield - Zone of Contamination transition cave. * Fixed an issue which caused a floating Fuse in the Maintenance Shed.
* Fixed an issue which caused the Survivor's arm to jolt during the Crank animation in an elevator.
* Fixed an issue where Steam controllers would continue to function if the "Enable Gamepad" Steam setting was disabled. ### END OF RELEASE NOTES ###
