Hi Oddworld fans. We've tried to closely match the original Oddysee digital controls in New 'n' Tasty - have a look at the following thread for instructions if you feel NnT didn't quite hit the mark with its controls. http://steamcommunity.com/app/314660/discussions/0/405692758705596048/ We welcome any tweaks, too! Thanks.

Happy Holidays everyone! We'd like to say a massive "thanks" for all your support and feedback this year, especially regarding Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty. Your comments, reviews, thoughts and opinions have not only helped shape the post-release development of the game, but also how we handle PC releases in the future. We've worked hard since February to fix bugs, add proper controller support and give PC gamers the flexibility to tweak the settings as they wish - all things we'll have in place properly going forward. All the Oddworld games, DLC and soundtracks are now on sale for the Steam Holiday sale, and we wish you a lovely break and a happy new year. Have fun, from everyone at OWI. Here's to the future.

Hi Oddworld fans! We're delighted to announce that two new pieces of DLC have been released for Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty - the original Abe's Oddysee soundtrack as MP3s, and a brand new remastered New 'n' Tasty soundtrack, also as MP3s. They're available from the Store page, here - http://store.steampowered.com/app/314660/ - and will appear in the game install folder. In other news, we're happy to say that we're working on in-game controller remapping, Windows 10 support and a few other tweaks. We'll have news on this free patch soon. Thanks, and stay Odd!

Linux users. We've pushed a hotfix update live today that should solve issues with New 'n' Tasty and official Wired/Wireless 360 controllers. The hotfix uses the Xpad driver. Please see here - http://steamcommunity.com/app/314660/discussions/0/594820473983869155/ - for details. This update does not affect Windows and Mac users.

Hi Oddworld fans. We've just released a patch for the Mac version on Steam which should hopefully solve the issues with unresponsive keyboard and controller input after updating the game to version 1.02. The game should automatically update in Steam the next time you start it. Thanks for your patience, and our sincere apologies for any issues caused by this bug.

Hi Oddworld fans. We are, as we've said, committed to ensuring that players of Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty have the best possible experience, and we fully plan to support the game and its players post-launch. As such, our second patch (version 1.02) now available on Steam addresses the following: ------ 1.02 / A / In-game cut-scene issues We've removed an erroneously applied layer of real-time post-processing to the pre-rendered video cut-scenes. ------ 1.02 / B / Ability to switch off various graphical effects We've looked at implementing toggles for the bloom, lens effects and glow - partly to address user feedback and partly to improve performance to some degree for certain PC spec configurations. Users can switch the effects by editing the following file: / Settings / / PostProcessingSettings.cfg There are options for Glow (the soft lighting effect cast by lights in the game), Bloom (an effect that produces feathered light edges) and LensDirt (meant to replicate the look of a camera). All can be toggled to True or False as required. In addition, the issue with the 'shadows' slider not working as expected has been fixed, and we've added a further slider for 'shadow distance'. ------ 1.02 / C / Controller remapping We've looked into the simplest way to grant players the ability to remap buttons on their controllers. Thus, to enable users to share their own remapped profiles, we've opted to use a text file: / Settings / / KeyMapCustomController.cfg To find this file, please look inside: / Help / You'll find a readme in the Help folder that explains how to remap the controls, along with an example remap file that must be edited and renamed and placed alongside the other settings files. If you need help with this, please reach out to us in the Steam community forums, on Twitter or via our support email. We hope that this ability goes some way to alleviating some of the issues with certain controllers not functioning the way both we and you would expect them to in-game. Please note that remapped controls aren't currently reflected in the in-game banners. ------ 1.02 / D / Meat grinder issues at higher frame rates We've investigated complaints that the meat grinders were running too fast at frame-rates higher than 60 FPS (for anyone interested, the actuality is that they were resetting their descent too fast, rather than the actual speed of the movement) and this patch should therefore fix the issues players may have experienced. We've also slowed down the speed of the fastest grinders just a little. ------ 1.02 / E / Leaderboard fixes Some leaderboards were reversed and some were incorrectly reporting completion times as 00:00. ------ 1.02 / F / Xbox 360 controller screen shows incorrect buttons The game start screen that shows if the player has a controller connected would incorrectly display the functions of the four main face buttons. This is now fixed. ------ 1.02 / G / Various other fixes and tweaks There were a number of minor, isolated progression bugs at launch, including a Scrab patrol in Scrabania Trial 4 that blocked progress, the remote ability to fall out of the world in Zulag 2 Path 2 and Elum getting stuck on one of the new running sections - these are all fixed. We've also made an addition to the game credits. ------ These fixes follow the 1.01 patch, which addressed and fixed several controller-related issues. ------ Again, we'd like to confirm that we are absolutely behind Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty 100%, and will continue to monitor your thoughts on Twitter, the Steam community forums and Facebook and are committed to ensuring our fans enjoy the game the way we'd hoped they would. If you've not yet grabbed a copy of New 'n' Tasty, it's available now from Steam and if you have already bought the game, we wholeheartedly thank you. http://store.steampowered.com/app/314660 We'd like to thank everyone again for their early support (and it's wonderful to see so many of you loving the game) and look forward to your continued (and most valued) feedback.

Hi Oddworld fans. We’re delighted with the reception Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty has been getting since its release on Wednesday. If you’ve not yet grabbed a copy, it’s available with a 10% launch week discount from Steam, and if you have already bought the game, we wholeheartedly thank you for your early support. We are committed to ensuring that players of Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty have the best possible experience, and we fully plan to support the game and its players post-launch. As such, our first patch, available on Steam, addresses the following: 1 / Xbox 360 Controller Deadzone Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty now includes a deadzone slider for controller support. A small number of players reported that the game felt twitchy and Abe was slightly unpredictable, and we’re confident this is because the deadzones on analog sticks were too small, making the game think the sticks were being moved when they weren’t. If you experienced this, please adjust the deadzone with the new slider which can be found in the settings. 2 / Grey screen on boot If the player didn’t have a language selected in Steam, the game didn’t always boot, instead presenting the player with a grey screen. The game will now force a default language, preventing the issue. 3 / Logitech F310, F510 and F710 controller support We’re aware that a number of players like to use Logitech F310, F510 and F710 controllers. This patch should allow these controllers to be used in Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty. Please let us know how you get on with this. 4 / XInput support Finally, to expand the number of supported controllers, there’s now an XInput checkbox in the Settings menu that should allow players to use officially supported Microsoft XInput devices. Again, we’d like to confirm that we are absolutely behind Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty 100%, and will continue to monitor your thoughts on Twitter, the Steam community forums and Facebook and are committed to ensuring our fans enjoy the game the way we’d hoped they would.

Update: this is now fixed - http://steamcommunity.com/games/314660/announcements/detail/234522998930417128 --- Hi Oddworld fans. We're aware that a small number of users are having issues with overly responsive Xbox 360 controllers. This is due to the deadzones on those controllers being slightly different from our testing controllers. We're implementing a deadzone slider and hope to have news on a release date for the patch tomorrow. Thanks for your patience.
