We have a new patch for you: Patch 1, version 1.1.0 (e3584-p25462)

Fixed being able to save/load on the tracks in the minecart cave and getting stuck underwater in specific circumstances
Fixed being able to enter the engagement zone of the minecart on Boiler Island from outside of the cart and getting stuck
(SPOILER) Fixed getting caught on the fire marble tray when it rises
Fixed collision to prevent getting stuck on the path to the spider room chair
Added additional safeguards for a crash that could happen in OpenXR (see notes in “Existing Considerations” section if you are on a Vive HMD)
(SPOILER) Fix for being able to climb a ladder you shouldn’t have been able to in the Starry Expanse under specific circumstances, which led to the player becoming stuck

Fixed steam rising from the wahrk effigy waterhole while the waterhole was closed
Earthquake sound fixed for the ending
Fixed being able to overwater the beetle tree
Modified the auto focus on Gehn's Age 233 speeches to allow the player to look around more freely
Sound fixes and improvements added
Art fixes and improvements added
Character art improvements added
(SPOILER) Fixed the Starry Expanse loading in too late after the PMDs opened
Cleaned up the animation for one of Gehn's exits in Age 233
Fixed an achievement firing off too quickly
The player can now no longer open the inventory and enter engagement zones

If you are experiencing a crash on startup, and if you have a customized or older VR setup with options you can’t recall whether or not you’ve turned on or off, please disable the “motion compensation layer” in your OpenXR backend settings. This appears to be an engine bug prevalent in our version of Unreal and can occur regardless of playing in 2D or VR
If you are experiencing crashes while playing Riven with a Vive HMD, please enable the “ViveVR OpenXR SRWorks” option through SteamVR, as this appears to prevent various crashes from occurring through OpenXR (unfortunately not something we can resolve).
Riven officially supports the specific HMDs listed in the requirements on our store page. Many folks have been able to play Riven without a hitch on their unsupported HMDs by tweaking various OpenXR or SteamVR settings. For issues encountered playing Riven on unsupported HMDs (like WMR devices, BigScreen devices, and more), we recommend checking out our community forums for support on those issues.
In certain VR configurations, the laser for selecting options might render behind the menu
There is an issue with certain newer-gen Intel CPUs crashing on startup for many UE5 games, including ours. This appears to be a hardware issue and the only workaround is to modify BIOS settings.
