Hey GoG Crew,
Thank you for your incredible patience whilst we got the GoG version of the Yooka-Laylee patch wrapped up and QA'd. The good news is, the time has come and the patch is now deployed!
This patch brings with it a whole host of positive changes and fixes to the game that'd even put a smile on Planker's splintered chops - all thanks to your feedback.
The BIG bits:
- New camera mode with minimal assist. (Find this in the settings menu)
- Further, general camera improvements in set locations within the game.
- Skip cut-scenes.
- Shorter 'gibberish chat'. (Find this in the settings menu)
- Skip dialogue by holding Y.
- The Capital Cashino bugs have been squished with great vengeance and furious anger.
- A fix for the 'invulnerable enemies' glitch.
IF YOU HAVE ENCOUNTERED THE 'INVULNERABLE ENEMY' GLITCH.
To ensure you don't encounter the known inventory or invulnerable enemy bug, we’d recommend that you delete the save data if you encountered the invulnerable minion issue in the original launch build. You can delete this save data by doing the following:
1. Launch Yooka-Laylee
2. Select “Main Adventure”
3. Choose the save that was previously experiencing the invulnerable minion issue
4. Select “Delete” (XB1 controller [X], PS4 Controller [SQUARE] or Keyboard [X])
5. Confirm the action
