Indiana Jones and the Great Circle’s First PS5 Patch Version 1.004 Delivers a Hotfix
For those hoping that the adventure game’s first patch on the PS5 will be a big one that touches on every gameplay issue, it’s not. The patch released today by MachineGames is a small one that tackles bug fixes associated with Adventure Books and the like.
BUG FIXES
- Fixed an issue where adventure books collected prior to Update 4 were not contributing towards the completion of the Bookman achievement.
- Fixed an issue where the new “Sleight of Hand” adventure book was not appearing if you had already met Gina in the Vatican before the release of Update 4.
- Fixed an issue where you could not call the Ziggurat elevator when revisiting Iraq.
- Fixed an issue where you could not place the Stelae in the crate next to Nawal’s delivery boy in Gizeh in the later stages of the “Belongs in a Museum” discovery.
That’s about it. Based on experience playing the PS5 version, there are a few more bugs that need to be squashed. Hopefully, we’ll get a bigger patch soon that does that.
If you’re on Xbox and PC, and you haven’t played the game in a while, Update 4 adds new Adventure Books, and a slew of quality-0f-life features.
UPDATE 4 NEW FEATURES
New Adventure Books
You can learn a lot from reading, and in Update 4 we’ve added two new Adventure Books that give Indy some whip-tastic options in combat!
- With the “Open Season” Adventure Book, hitting an opponent with the whip temporarily causes them to take more damage from subsequent attacks
- “Sleight of Hand” lets Indy pull an enemy’s weapon towards him after disarming them with the whip
Quality of Life Features
- You can choose to disable the center dot on the HUD (if you’re prone to motion sickness, we recommend leaving the dot enabled)
- We’ve added an “Always Allow Skipping Cutscenes” option, letting you skip cutscenes even if you haven’t watched them
- Players can disable the “Stealth Vignette” around the edge of the HUD while Indy is crouched in stealth
- You can cycle between local maps and level maps when viewing the journal in “lowered” mode
- Players will now see slightly more of the map while the journal is in “lowered” mode
- Some of you have told us that you don’t have much use for Repair Kits. Well, now you can throw them at your enemies!
- We have added a timer to the combat HUD around Indy’s health that lets you know how long it will take for alerted enemies to call off a search
- The PC version now supports the PlayStation DualSense Wireless Controller for advanced haptic feedback and adaptive triggers
- If you are using PlayStation or Steamdeck controllers in the PC version, they will now show up in the controller configuration menu
- You can now bind a key to toggle High Contrast Mode on PC
- Several new tutorials have been added:
- Tutorials are now given explaining how to unlock/activate Adventure Books after you’ve collected them
- Tutorials are now given about how to buy Health or Stamina upgrades after collecting multiple medicine bottles
- We’ve added a tutorial on how to blow away scorpions at the end of the Gizeh level
- The menu to purchase or unlock Adventure Books and map information booklets has been improved to give clearer information about unlock costs and to better subdivide the categories
- We’ve recorded new one-liners for Indy during fights, for extra variety
- We’ve improved Ray-traced Global Illumination on all platforms at no performance cost; contact shadows have been improved, helping objects appear more “grounded” in the scene
