Serious Sam: Siberian Mayhem, the standalone expansion of Serious Sam 4, was released exactly a year ago. To celebrate the game’s very first birthday, the developer has released an important update, with Patch 1.07 fixing several lingering bugs and making some minor changes.
The patch improves the riding mechanics of Khnum, and makes sure that Biomechanoid Major won’t kick the player when standing still. Octanian Oleg now hates violence and won’t attack the player even if attacked first. Skin textures of Serious Sammy/Dark Delilah saw improvements as well.
You can read the complete patch notes below.
What’s New?
- It is now possible to start New Game+ on any difficulty from the menu. If you have completed a normal playthrough on a difficulty other than Serious, the option to go into NG+ on the currently played difficulty is now given (next to the original option of going into NG+ on Serious).
- Improved enemy riding on the Khnum. Yeehaw!
- Biomechanoid Major no longer “kicks” the player while standing still.
- Octanian Oleg no longer fights the player when attacked. Please stop harassing the poor fella.
- Adjusted RNG on the Wheel of Fortune in the “Song of the Stormbringer” Christmas area.
- Improved skin texture on Serious Sammy / Dark Delilah player models.
- It is now easier to get out of the ice-hole on the lake in Siberiade. A bit too late for Christmas ice-hole bathing, we know.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed the issue where certain savegames on the “Roadside Picnic” level would not load in the 1.06c hotfix version.
- Fixed the bug where certain achievements were not awarded in NG+ playthroughs.
- Fixed the bug where certain very old savegames would crash the game on startup due to Beheaded Firecracker Netricsa message missing.
- Fixed the Freezer weapon skin displaying the original Burner icon in the Weapon Wheel.
- Fixed the bug where the Hoverboard would be destroyed upon spawning in some places on “The Smell of Petroleum Prevails.”
- Fixed the bug where the player could not use HEART gadget if died while using Chainsaw Launcher’s secondary fire.
- Removed the ability to ride certain Christmas areas enemies.
- Fixed seasonal cosmetics on certain enemies not displaying blood splatters.
Modding
- It is now possible to disable riding and melee on particular instances of enemies by adding “NoRiding” or/and "NoMelee" in their entity name. For example, "Gnaar_Female01_NoRidingNoMelee," or "Khnum_NoRiding."
