Serious Sam 4 standalone expansion, Siberian Mayhem, received an important patch today. Update 1.02 brings new features, improves performance, fixes several crashes issues, and squashes multiple bugs.
The patch introduced Steam Trading Cards to the game. Unlock them and craft cool emojis, backgrounds, and badges. Crashing issues occurring when playing with Vulkan mode have been addressed. The “Healing Punch” skill will now work as intended, and the animation of Sam breaking S.A.M. has been updated.
The developer also promised that modding tools for Siberian Mayhem will be released soon.
Stability and Performance Fixes
- Various small stability and performance fixes.
- Gameplay Fixes
- You can now earn the “Massacre Party” achievement over several Co-Op sessions if the order of the completed levels and required game settings are respected.
- You know how the hoverboard you’re on when starting a cutscene would somehow leave you behind? Well, we called it naughty and it promised not to do it anymore. It will also stop preventing you from registering secrets or teleporting. Make sure to call it nice and pet it from time to time.
- The “Healing Punch” skill will now properly award health upon melee kills.
- If you join a “Siberiade” Co-Op session in progress, you will get your own set of wheels (or tracks), provided the other players are in a vehicle section.
- You can no longer die from fall damage when on an ATV in “Siberiade” because the dev team hates fun.
- Snowmobiles are now invulnerable and redirect incoming damage to the player (like the ATVs) because the dev team hates fun part 2.
- The Tank repair kit will now appear as intended after loading saved games.
- Monsters will no longer get stuck in the final fight on “Roadside Picnic.”
- The Metal Snake in the final depot fight of the “Roadside Picnic” no longer counts towards the “Hole-in-One” achievement, making it much more consistent to earn.
- Added missing Kleer to the Classic room of “The Song of the Stormbringer” on Serious difficulty.
Visual Fixes
- Minor updates across cutscenes including updated lighting in the train scene, and in the scene after the credits.
Other Fixes
- The credits text roll now properly appears on clients after finishing the game in co-op.
