  • This was particularly noticeable with touch controls on iOS devices. 
• Improved the waypointing and flow of a section of the quest to make it clearer how you can progress. 
• Fixed being able to ride the Atomicycle into restricted areas and causing issues with cinematics. 
• Fixed getting downed in certain portions of the Quest not allowing the next objective to trigger. 
• Fixed being able to quick travel to your Arsenal in certain segments of the Quest where it should be disabled.
• Added a sheen/glow to a destructible barrier in the Quest to indicate that you have to attack it in order to progress. 
• Made several SFX updates & fixes throughout the Quest. 
• Fixed Eleanor’s hair clipping in certain portions of the Quest. 
• Fixed performance issues caused by fire VFX during certain end of Quest moments.

Steel Path Höllvania Fix:

• Fixed players being unable to earn Steel Path trophies for Höllvania missions.
  • With this fix, in order to properly unlock the Höllvania Steel Path nodes to get your trophy please proceed with the following:
    • 1: complete all 1999 nodes on normal difficulty -- you're now officially qualified to make progress on the Steel Path versions! 
    • 2: complete all those 1999 nodes again on Steel Path difficulty -- you get a trophy!
  • A full breakdown can be found here:  

Fixes:
