PATCH DOWNLOADING MEN. PATCH DOWNLOADING.

Hello everyone! It’s been a week since INSOMNIA’s release, and boy was that a ride: the amount of discussions in the Community Hub has jumped from 130 to 540+, the first wave of guides was published by our most active members, as well as some overdue wiki updates. And of course, we’ve released patch #1 as a first step to make INSOMNIA: The Ark a better game. It’s time to make another step in that direction.

So what about patch #2?

Earlier this week, we’ve published a list of fixes included in this patch. More issues have been addressed since:

• Fixed invisible walls around the stairs for the quest "What is the price of freedom".
  
• Fixed a quest item disappearing after completing the quest "Ancient One".
  
• Fixed the capsule not opening in the location "Morach Base".
  
• Fixed door collisions so that the player character doesn’t get stuck in the location “Reservation D-106”.
  
• Fixed the quest log for the mission "Closet showing" not updating correctly.
  
• Fixed a dialogue branch at the location "Vulture’s Nest" to resolve a conflict with another dialogue in the location “Zone B-27”.
  
• Improved companion A.I. to better follow the player character upon entering a new location.
  
• Improvements to the “Bypass” location:
  1. eliminated the possibility of the player character getting stuck in certain spots
     
  2. added the ability to use the elevator
     
  3. added more cover options

Please keep in mind that the actual amount of fixes is bigger (UI, collisions, etc.) and mainly concern bugs submitted by the publisher’s QA team.

The patch's size is like 11 Gb.

Is it be a good enough patch to keep us playing until that Pathfinder patch in the next few weeks.

 

[Barghest]

I should have said:

Will it keep us fucking entertained?

Dunno, they haven't fixed the bug where you keep getting sent to the antique shop.

Anyone else have the game still showing as 1.0 even after the patch?

Anyone else have the game still showing as 1.0 even after the patch?

Yeah, same thing for me. I for sure downloaded the 5.4gb patch too.

 

[Jenkem]

so how is the patch? should I buy this to play this weekend or is it still broken?

It's less broken now than stalker or fallout New Vegas were on release, if that helps.

 

[Kem0sabe]

I think it broke as many things as it fixed. My revolver doesn't have an icon anymore on the shortcut bar.

 

[Tweed]

Where are the remappable keys goddamnit?!

How much did they pay for this shovelware to get such a huge ad spot?

Not much.

First mission: nothing special ... except a massacre.

Second Mission ... I'm shitting my pants. First game in ages which makes me feel like playing System Shock 2 on steroids.

This game is delicious. I got chills. FFS.

 

[StaticSpine]

Okay. I played for 15 hours. For now I'll stop my walkthrough till more patches come (or I won't continue at all if the gameplay isn't polished).

Suff I dislike:
- Painfully slow world map movement;
- No fast-traveling at all - the locations are rather large, but usually have only several places of interest/NPCs and you have to run from one to the other (running is rather slow too);
- Loot system - you can kill 5 armed raiders, but you can't loot their weapons. Stuff you find in the containers is also random junk;
- Random encounters happen often and are very samey + considering the loot problem you just spend a lot of bullets/heal-ups and gain nothing in terms of loot to compensate the loss. So the most rational choice is to reload the game and once again slowly move through the map;
- Most of the side quests are most banal fetch quests;
- You do not get experience for completing quests, so your rewards rarely compensate your losses (see above);
- The whole XP gain is strange - you get XP for killing and reading. Do not get XP for quests. Some people say they get XP for stealth kills, I do not. Probably you get XP for crafting, but I can't confirm;
- The inventory is a mess, the items do not stack automatically;
- Same looking objects have different purposes - you see 4 similar doors along the corridor, 2 of them are real doors, 2 are closed/walls - you can't understand which of them work till you try all of them, there is no other indication.

I most likely forgotten something and didn't mention the main quest bug my friend (and other people according to forums) encountered making the quest unfinishable - I had no patience to play till this part.

Stuff I like:
- Art/visuals/graphics/aesthetics are fantastic;
- Worldbuilding/setting is cool;
- The story was okay so far.

Yes. You get XP for crafting.

This game isn't messing around anymore. Another 6 enemies spawn as soon as you defeat this wave.

Great job dude. That was a stealth mission ...

 

[Safav Hamon]

Turns out that's nothing compared to the combat missions later in the game.

Is that Gosp's quest? Because the last dude you execute alerts the command and he spawns anyway.

The commander is Gosp's brother

Yeah, I was kinda bummed out at the twist, but that sweet sweet sweet revolver made up for it. What a beauty.
