Are you planning to binge play Outer Wilds over the holidays? Well, the developers have polished some aspects of Echoes of the Eye, especially the two secret worlds introduced in the expansion.
Major Changes
If you are having a hard time completing the Endless Canyon and Starlit Cove, then you should download Patch 1.1.12 if you haven’t already. This is because the developers have made notable changes to the said places. So, if you’re having a difficult time navigating your way through, then this update may help you with that.
Another significant change is the several revisions made to the clues that you will come across in the mid-game. On top of that, some locks found in the Echoes of the Eye are now seen more visibly when they are opened elsewhere.
For fixes and optimizations, softlocks that you may experience when meditating have been resolved. Several optimizations are also made to the Echoes of the Eye scripts and graphics rendering of the DLC characters.
