Duck Side of the Moon – Misc. Updates

• Release date: ???
• Patch notes:

Hotfix 1

• Fixed a soft lock that would occur when buying Somnium at the Marketplace stall before talking with Gresh at the Marketplace.
• Fixed the Roombo Decoration not showing up when crafting.
• Fixed a soft lock after extinguishing the fires, where you would no longer be able to swap gadgets.
• Fixed Tooltips going off screen on non-HD resolutions when using a controller.
• Made End Credits a bit less loud – wouldn’t wanna jumpscare anyone after just finishing the game.
• Fixed the “Lake Audio” playing while in the forge.
• Fixed Saving while floor is lava allowing you to cheat and start flying instead of jumping. Liam does not approve of any cheating that occured!
• Fixed a soft lock when transitioning from forge to dancefloor.
• Fixed some bowling pins falling over before starting the bowling minigame. I guess the wind in space was blowing a little too hard in snowfell.

Hotfix 2

• New (highly requested) Controls settings have been added for Look Sensitivity and Look Smoothing.

• Fixed some achievements not being given out. If you have made a save prior to this fix the achievements should be given the moment you load into a save again. Please let us know if you’re still missing any.
• Fixed some typos in the dialogue.
• Fixed the Lightholm conductor hand clipping through the sign he was holding. Finally, I mean the game was pretty much unplayable before this.
• Fixed the LOD’s for the Rubber making it look suspiciously like Astral Shards. The days of Rubber gaslighting you from a distance are finally over.
• Fixed the engines staying in the minecart or in the cart at the Gemstone fields after they had already been fixed.
• Increased the range of Scoot’s quest marker. He was getting a bit lonely with some many players flying past him.
• Fixed Camera issue with Forge Key Chase.

Hotfix 3

• There is now an “Emergency Return” button in the Pause Menu for if you get stuck in / under any terrain. Pressing this button will get you unstuck, but please use it with caution.

• Fixed a circumstance where you could never get the Winter Outfit, if you didn’t talk to Walter before asking him about a gift for Dragon.
• Fixed a soft lock with Astra when on controller giving suggestions for what to give to Dragon and picking the bottom option first between a cake and gifts.
• Fixed Power the Boogie and Fix the Engines quests not starting for some players. For players who had this soft lock opening their save again should resolve this issue.

Return to Lightholm

• Upon retrieving the engines from Gresh you will be able to return to Lightholm by talking to Cody the conductor.

• Fixed being able to craft item recipes with a full inventory.

• Many more small fixes.

Hotfix 4

• Fixed not being able to pick up a shell reward due to the shell hatcher interaction volume consuming the interact.
• Fixed a rare instance where the game wouldn’t continue past the loading screen due to the cinematic not playing. In these cases it might be that the cinematic is skipped to aleast make sure you can load into the game.
• Fixed Quantum Storage not saving it’s repaired state when travelling between Lightholm and Boogiedale.
