Hey Folks! We've just released our third patch for Amber Isle! 🧡
Patch v1.8.17 fixes numerous issues across the game, including soft locks in the shop & quests, issues with quest rewards, and flow issues. It also includes improvements to the UI, camera, and performance, and adds the ability to save customised presets.
NOTE: If you have been experiencing softlock issues when interacting with Bosco, Clover or any other Paleofolk in the shop, please clear your Steam cache. To clear your Steam cache from your Steam client, select 'Steam' in the top left of your client menu and then select 'Settings'. In the Settings panel, select the Downloads tab. Then select the 'Clear Download Cache' button at the bottom of this menu.
NOTE: If your game is glitching or behaving strangely (particularly with dialogue or the shop), this could be due to a Steam issue with your game files. To verify your files, open Amber Isle’s properties in Steam, select the ‘Installed Files’ tab, and click ‘Verify Integrity of Game Files’.
EDIT: For anyone who inexplicably is still having problems with our Bosco after our third patch, the best thing to do right now is to just refuse to serve him so that your shop doesn't softlock. We've now have been able to get a save where the block is 100% reproduceable, so we should be able to get to the bottom of this MENACE once and for all!
