Surprise! Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has just received its second update on Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and PC, containing a whole bunch of fixes for everything from damaged game slots to a series of graphical issues.
Interestingly, it also includes improvements to Global Illumination for Xbox users. This is to fix situations where shadowed areas had been appearing brighter than expected, and you can see a ‘before’ and after example down below.
Before
After
Let’s take a look at the full patch notes for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle ‘Update 2’ on Xbox and PC:
General
Fixed an issue where users Game Slot may be reported as being damaged, or may appear to be completely missing, when no actual problem had occurred.
Gameplay
Fixed an issue where player may be unable to equip Indy’s whip.
Fixed an issue where a player may end up with Indy’s camera permanently equipped.
Fixed an issue where player may drop and lose their camera if they use the quick-equip (“key item”) prompt to equip their camera while they are inspecting another nearby pick-up item.
Graphics
Fix to prevent “Double vision” getting stuck on screen when Indy has almost drowned. To players who have already encountered this issue, repeating the near-drown should clear the issue.
Some further improvements to reduce “stutter” from duplicated frames during cutscenes.
Missions and quests – Please note this section contains some small spoilers
Fixed an issue where Gina may not approach the secret entrance to the Vatican Treasure Chamber, blocking the mission from progressing.
Fixed an issue where Gina may go to pick the lock to the exit from the Vatican Treasure Chamber as soon as you enter the room, meaning you may miss some very important story developments.
Fixed a big hole in the floor collision around the edge of the wall around the Ziggurat in Sukhothai that the player could fall through.
PC Specific fixes
Fixed an issue where Nvidia DLSS may cause performance problems when enabled.
Fixed an issue where Nvidia Frame Generation wasn’t activated properly if HDR is in use.
Fixed an issue where Nvidia Low Latency Mode could cause performance problems when used with Frame Generation.
Fixed an issue where global illumination may be completely disabled when playing with below minimum VRAM graphics cards.
Fixed an issue where Lighting may be over bright in interior spaces if Path Tracing (Full Ray Tracing) is set to Medium or High Quality.
Known Issue: Nvidia Frame Generation may be temporarily disabled if HDR is activated for the first time. To work around this issue, disable and then re-enable DLSS. This only needs to be done once.
Xbox Specific fixes
Improvements to Global Illumination on Xbox, to fix issues where shadowed areas had appeared brighter than expected.
