Torment: Tides of Numenera beta patch released

InXile have released a pretty hefty patch for the Torment: Tides of Numenera beta currently knocking about in Steam’s Early Access. It addresses some “critical bugs” reported by the community of players, and also has quite a few changes to quests, graphics, performance and, well, basically most areas of the game.

Here are the self-described highlights. Follow the link above if you want every single detail:

• Heavy optimization pass to Fathom 13 scene.
• Camera improvements.
• Large balance passes.
• Added hotkey support to the interface. Press I for Inventory, C for Character, M for Map, B for Quick Abilities, V for Quick Items, and J for Journal. Escape should close out of these menus, as should pressing their respective keys while the UI is open. Customizable hotkeys are not yet available.
• Added Autosave functionality with three rotating slots.
• Added Quicksave/Quickload functionality. Press F5 to quicksave, F6 to quickload.
• Added a Shins (currency) display to the Inventory screen.
• The camera should no longer pan while a menu is open.
• Manifold miscellaneous optimizations to performance.
• Updates to portrait artwork.
• Fixed Broken Dome bug that could cause the intro cutscene/conversation to not play correctly. Should also fix misc. bugs that could be caused by user interface inputs falling through the UI.
• Fixed Cypher Sickness not saving properly.
• Fixed combat freeze-ups that could occur with repeat save/loads.
• Cyphers can now be dragged to other characters. Cypher Sickness should no longer multiply in effect after save/load.
• Issue with movement getting stuck on scene transition should no longer occur.
