*If needed, the launcher can still be accessed by pressing “Left Alt” when the game boots.
• Fixed several collision issues that would lead to Jacob being stuck.

• Fixed several quests related bugs that would prevent quest progression in Christophe and Wendy’s quest lines.
• Improved several graphic assets.

Next week is our release target for next patch. As explained in the roadmap we shared with you earlier, it will decrease loading times and will include further keyboard and mouse control improvements. We are also thinking about other enhancements, we’ll keep you in touch!

Thank you,

For further updates:
We have heard your concerns and they will be taken into account as quickly as we can.
Here are the updates we are planning for the coming days and weeks:

VERY SHORT TERM OBJECTIVES

  • Improvement of Keyboard and Mouse controls o Mouse support in menus and in the game. o Remapping and improvement of controls, including mouse
  • Removal of the launcher (the launcher has no real use and is confusing for a lot of you).

SHORT TERM OBJECTIVES (within 1 or 2 weeks)

  • Continuous improvements of Keyboard and Mouse controls, taking into account your feedback. We also want to implement several keyboard / mouse configuration layouts.
  • We have found a way to cut loading times by half, but this requires proper testing to make sure it doesn’t impact some areas of the game. We will release this as soon as possible.
  • Support of localized keyboards (Azerty, etc.)

    MEDIUM TERM OBJECTIVES (within 3 or 4 weeks)

  • Implementation of custom Key binding.

    Mojo Bones and Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe teams are working around the clock to make sure we’ll stick to this plan.
    Obviously, we’ll also continue to fix remaining bugs and improve different areas of the game as a long term support for this game. We’ll also continue to take into account your feedback at the best of our capacity.
    Be assured that we’ll keep you posted about the content of patches regularly and about our updated plans.
    We apologize for the inconvenience and hope to bring you a smooth Impact Winter experience as soon as possible.

    Best regards,
    Mojo Bones & Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe
