This is a hotfix to fix issues brought by Game Update 1.4.0. Ahti would probably describe this as “kun rapataan, niin roiskuu”.
Hotfix 1.4.2 Notes
- Fixed an issue in the The House in Distress quest where Zoe went missing, preventing quest progression
- Fixed an issue where the player is unable to leave the Gap after exiting to the Main Menu right after defeating the Artist Resonant and not using the Ability selection prompt
- Fixed an issue where the player is unable to ask Busken (NPC) about Underhill after getting far enough into the quest
- Fixed an issue with the Notes: Every Dog Has Her Day side quest where completing the quest was not awarding an Artifact as a reward. You shall now be rewarded. Unless the dog ate the reward. - Added a method to retroactively give the reward to players who have completed the quest (as long as they did not enter New Game + yet!)
- Fixed an issue where the Firebreaker you have to protect decides to do nothing but stand around
- Fixed an issue where the Burn status effect deals too much damage to Dylan while using the Wallet Artifact and running out of Power
- Fixed an issue where during Escort tasks the Rangers didn’t always reset their positions correctly
- Fixed subtitle timing and other localization issues across all languages

My Eacort rangers were stuck on top of a Patterned street they have no way of climbing atop of. Let’s see if they’re still there

u/ThirdFloorNorth 10d ago
All very good fixes, but surprised they haven't fixed the issue with Ignite where it burns through power x2 as fast as its supposed to (90 vs 45 a tick).
Remedy will get to it though, I have no doubt.

u/iamnotmybuddypaul 10d ago
Nothing on Xbox crashes. I cant get more than 5-10 minutes, maybe less before it goes to dashboard or crashes my entire Xbox. Pretty tiring.

u/nestsofhair 9d ago
That's so odd, I really wonder what causes that. I haven't had a single crash or game breaking bug on xbox

u/Hucksterprattler1 8d ago
There's an obvious fix for this. What you do is power down your xbox, unplug all cables, throw xbox in the trash and then order a ps5 pro. Lol. J/k. Sorry your having trouble. But if you switch to ps5 pro your games will look better especially gta in a little over a month. Just saying..

Dog reward is finally fixed! I can go New Game+ now!

u/Elgato01 10d ago
Make sure to change your build beforehand since apparently you lose a resonant token if you respec on NG+

What does the quest log say? Maybe you missed interacting with the dog after getting the toy

u/11tracer 10d ago
Can we please get confirmation on whether or not Ignite was supposed to be nerfed in 1.4.0? Its power consumption has been doubled but there's no mention of it in the patch notes and the in-game menu still says it costs 45 power/second even though it actually costs ~90 now.
13
u/Poyonponyo 10d ago
Wow so that why my power was gone so quick.. i thought that's just how it works lmao i hope they fix it soon if they haven't...

u/Pokiehat 5d ago edited 5d ago
Same. I started playing in 1.4.0. Honestly, I still think its super strong at 90 power per tick. I can't imagine getting twice the uptime. Seems a bit much, no? It does so much damage + falter.

u/QuafferOfNobs 10d ago
Oh hey, that explains a lot! I thought I was juggling turning it on and off WAY more to conserve energy.

u/Raynmapym 9d ago
Trust me, I hate there is no mention of this so far yet, but there's no point complaining about it here. You should really send a bug report on their website. They will get to it sooner if more people make it known. I have sent 2 reports for this so far. Once after 1.4.1 dropped, and again this morning after 1.4.2 dropped.

u/Zhryx 10d ago
Any news on the “lose the 6th ability if use ability reset during new game+” bug?
14
u/Watts121 10d ago
I thought this was tied to Resonant progress in NG+?
I reset my Powers, and can only pick a 6th Power from Resonants I killed in NG+ afterwards.

u/sunfaller 9d ago
If you kill more resonants can you now unlock all of them? Like push/ground smash, ignite and burn or something?

u/ReticulateLemur 9d ago
Wait, what's this bug? I'm about to start a NG+. Do I just need to make sure not to do a respec?
17
u/AvailableBet8485 10d ago
I think I have discovered a new bug (that was there before the hotfix): I think I somehow messed up the sequencing during the "Welcome To Manhattan" quest while playing it again in NG+ and now every time I enter the Downtown area via fast travel door, I get the radio dialogue between Dylan and Zoe where he tells her that Baker is missing because he didn't want to be guarded by Dylan even though I finished that quest ages ago.
23
u/Wackamole56 10d ago
If it helps when i return to the security offices, i get to talk through that quest line every time. Since the tuesday early access haha. Likewise in the tower with Zoe i am able to point out that the patterend lights have gone out (continuously)

u/TheMightyGlork 10d ago
Same issue, also going near the survivalist bunker after completing that side quest. The patterned lights from the watchtower as well as the twin in the Park are infinitely reportable to Zoe.

u/One-Fun9814 10d ago
The same thing was happening to me if I returned to the survivalists area after finishing his quest. Though at least that's an easy area to avoid.
3
u/darkestchyld 10d ago
That happened to me in my initial ng run so it's been in the game since 1.0. Slightly immersion breaking but did not mind because I got to hear all the variations of turning him.in vs covering for him in one playthrough

u/NameNotFoundError404 10d ago
I literally finished the game before the patch came out. Woke up in post game world, exited the game. Installed the patch - and my save is gone. The last moment is hours before the game finish (beginning of last location). Pretty frustrating

u/JuliusRMD Remedy Entertainment Community Manager 10d ago
Super sorry about that! If you're on Steam, try the following:
- Take a backup copy of your current local save files
- Close the Steam client
- Delete the local save files from the Steam save folder (you can find them under C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\STEAM-USER-ID\3669870\)
- Open the Steam client
- Make sure cloud saves are enabled and when Steam reports a mismatch between the local and the cloud saves, choose local in order to make sure the cloud saves are cleared too
- Close the Steam client again
- Copy the backed up save files back into the Steam save folder
- Open the Steam client again and resolve the cloud mismatch again with the local files
You can back up the whole 3669870 folder.
Here's a simple guide to finding out your Steam ID in case you need it: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2976796532

u/NameNotFoundError404 10d ago
Appreciate the steps. Unfortunately, I'm on PS5 Pro, although I do own the game on steam - have to support you guys :)
Let me know if you have any troubleshooting steps for PS. If not - that's fine, I'll pick the game up eventually anyways.1
u/RookandKnight 9d ago
After the latest update when i click continue it then loads about 80% and wont go any further, i've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, updated drivers, verified game files. hope you can help. Loving the game so far (:

u/I-Ate-A-Pizza-Today 10d ago
Did you check your list of saves in “load game” menu? You might have something more recent than whatever the game threw at you when you clicked “continue”.
3
u/NameNotFoundError404 10d ago
Yep, I did - thanks for checking in. Unfortunately, Continue did load the latest save which was all from yesterday, so all today saves were wiped. Gonna put down the game for now and come back later to finish it off. This pissed me off more than it should though lol
5
u/Caer-bannog 9d ago
Great work. I was also hoping for a fix that allows the "Dimensional Faults" and "Injury Report" collectibles to not disappear from their location - unless picking them up is meant to be timebound by design? Would love to know...
4
u/Ubiquitous_Cacophony 9d ago
It is time bound along with the Arish one that disappears later in the game.

u/GifHunter2 9d ago
Guys, we need the ability to play Zoe's mixtape while playing the game. We need it!

u/spurdospardo1337 10d ago
as long as they did not enter New Game + yet Damn, as the dog is in the gap in ng+ - could we get it please here as well

u/whisperingstars2501 10d ago
Yeah commenting because I beleive I also don’t have the artifact but I am already halfway through NG+ :/

u/rememberdustydepot 10d ago
I thought the Wallet burn run thing was a bug! Glad they fixed it, was wondering why the fire resonant kept draining my health bar so bad

u/Wonderful-Elk7467 10d ago
If this hot fix came out yesterday, it would have saved me about 3 hours of searching for the missing Zoe! 😀

u/Waggy777 10d ago
I'm on NG+ and have the dog in the gap. I've also started the dog mission again. If I complete the dog mission again, will I get the artifact?
5
u/CompetitiveHandle27 9d ago
did the dog quest before this patch and I've interacted with the dog with the patch, still don't have it
is there a different way to retroactiveley get the artifact or have I messed something up?

This game saved my passion for gaming! I was losing it as a father of two, and non-stop life :)
Just finished today. What a ride! 25h, main story and all the resonants.

u/darkestchyld 10d ago
Thanks for the great work Remedy. Know you are working hard to make the best possible version of the game. Please fix the 16th Altered Speaker collectable not spawning. This is the only thing standing between me and true 100% completion.

😭 Just started ng+ two days ago, nooooo!
(But other than that, thank you Remedy!)

u/GrinningPariah 10d ago
I literally logged out standing directly by the NG+ button, ready to do that next time I play. I'm so glad I was just a little too tired last night!

u/QuafferOfNobs 10d ago
I wanna know why it keeps randomly dropping GPU usage. I’ll go from 90fps down to 20 and my RTX 4070 Ti GPU load just sits at 60%. No bottlenecks from other components. Tried with DLSS framegen on and off, happens regardless. Restart the game and boom, normal FPS. So weird.
1
u/Fun_Significance8931 9d ago
I've had that bug a couple times in my playtime so far. I'm on AMD hardware. Very strange, I wasn't able to find a cause or reproduce it either. The watchtower was the area that seemed most prone to it

u/RandyJackson 9d ago
I’ve had one or two slowdowns in tight areas with lots of enemies but nothing bad. Running 4070 TI Super and 7800x3d

u/novahunter 10d ago
The quest Crossing the Threshold is (still) broken for me. I'm on the last step Host AVP-3 but I can't do anything with Wilson. He's just crouching in the room and there's no way to interact with him.

u/thehitman346 10d ago
Does anyone know if there’s been a fix for the inedible mold during that Park Resonant quest?

Any updates on the audio stuttering issue? Game is fine for like an hour, then audio stutters, then loading screen slows way down, then frames start dropping. On Win11 PC, RTX 4070, 32GB RAM.

u/Accomplished-Lack721 10d ago
Anyone tried on Linux yet? A lot of people found performance got much worse with heavy stutters after the previous patch. Seems to have happened across various distros with any version of Proton.
For me, Linux performance on a 9070XT was already lagging behind Windows in this game, and some minor Windows stutters smoothed out after the first patch and the updated AMD driver. But Linux went from "mostly OK with a few stutters" to "stuttery mess" over the same time.

Fix for the constant Xbox crashes in 1.5.0 maybe?
1
u/abrahamisaninja 9d ago
I haven’t had any crashes but the performance in some of the areas is rough. Serious frame drops down to 0 for a second or two in certain areas or tense combat. Series X here for reference

This appears to break the game, at least on PC, if you happen to be at a certain point of recursions and iterations/ in the underpass
I have to reload 5 hours earlier to play.
Love the game, but no thanks.

u/RodroG 9d ago
Recently, Windows 11 Smart App Control (SAC) started blocking the game from launching because it cannot verify the publisher of CONTROLResonant.exe. I know SAC isn't that smart, but still. I'm using the Microsoft Store version of the game, but I found similar issues reported by Steam users. You need to sign the app with a valid signature to prevent this. u/JuliusRMD, please look into this and forward it to the team. Best regards

I wonder if they fixed the Italian localization for the co-director. Right now it’s translated to “co-direttrice”, which is the female version of the word (correct one would be “co-direttore”)

u/JesterBlackrain 4d ago edited 3d ago
so is there no way currently to get the dog reward if you went to NG+ before this patch went live? I assumed you could still get it by doing the quest again in NG+ but I just did that and still didn't get the item
Edit: Nevermind finally got it from the version of the dog in Dylan's apartment after finishing the main quest
