Contrast krijgt een patch die vele problemen oplost

Contrast is één van de games die je gratis voor de PlayStation 4 krijgt als je PlayStation Plus abonnee bent of een abonnement afsluit. Een game die je zeker even moet proberen, want het bevat een toffe audiovisuele stijl en ook de gameplay is met verschillende puzzels best leuk.

Toch valt er helaas ook het nodige op de game aan te merken, zoals je ook kunt lezen in onze review. De game heeft namelijk een rijk bezit van bugs die het speelplezier niet ten goede komen. Maar gelukkig is er een oplossing in de vorm van een patch die nu beschikbaar is.

De changelog hieronder.

• Fix orb focusing bug on the top level of the Lighthouse. (You should now be able to “lock on” to the orb in all cases.)
• Fix Carousel luminary loading/persistence problem. (This fixes the situation where you could play the Carousel, not complete it, complete the other two attractions, but then not be able to restart the Carousel.)
• Fixed dashing, jumping and low framerates getting you stuck in objects. (Most significant fix – big change to prevent getting stuck inside objects.)
• Fixed dashing from wedging you into geometry at low framerates.
• Fixed getting stuck in the ground or objects while shifting out. This should fix:

1. Issues where the player could get stuck inside bDetailGeometry meshes. (Random stuff lying around the place.)
2. Cinema skip issue. (Sorry speedrunners, we will look into preserving the previous patch, but not right now.)
3. Fixes lantern issues. (When lighting changes shift you out of shadows.)
4. Fixes issues with getting stuck on dynamic actors. (E.g boxes.)

Game now displays the walking animation when stuck in a stable configuration while falling. (No more t-pose, unless you’re still falling.)

Allow jumping in that case to help the player get out of the collision. (IE, you can now jump out of most spots in the world. Together, this plus the previous change mean you can jump out of areas that you would have been stuck in previously.)

Fix going through walls (getting out of the map) and stop dash from going through shadows. (Big gameplay change – you no longer go into shadows automatically at the end of a dash. You can still manually shift once you’ve finished your dash. You may also find yourself able to double jump in certain circumstances.)

Fix for the box falling on the player’s head and floating in space.

Fixed a bunch of rare crashes.
