Hey Players, what a week! The release of Cursed War (finally!), our console launch, and the Race Challenge. 2.0 is the biggest update Hell Clock has received to date. Seeing all of you dive into Cursed War new story arc, challenges and Endgame systems has been amazing. To every member of Hell Clock’s community that helped us with playtesting, feedback and bug hunting (even after Palworld's shadow drop right in our faces) we are grateful for all your support! As always, launch week also means bugs. Today’s patch focuses primarily on fixing unintended Relic and skill behavior, Campaign and Endgame progression blockers, Localization issues and many other problems you reported over the last few days. Rumble Support for Gamepads We've added gamepad rumble feedback to every skill in the game, making combat feel much more responsive when playing on gamepad. Localization We fixed some missing or placeholder translations introduced in 2.0, most of them affecting Unique Blessings and Unique Relics. About the PS5 Version Some players are experiencing a critical issue causing crashes and save data loss. This issue has only been observed on the PS5 version of the game. Our team is fully focused on resolving them as quickly as possible. We are also aware that the Ascension mode is currently broken on PS5. This problem has now been fixed, and Ascension will be fixed in the next update. What we are currently working on? We're continuing to improve the game's overall performance. Investigating an issue where players can receive more Constellation Points than intended from Cursed Shrines. We're also looking into a issue preventing some players from claiming their Twitch Drops, What about the Race? First of all, thank you to everyone who took part in the Race. Who needs the World Cup when we've got multiple streams open, watching all of you battle for first place? We'll announce the winners soon! Until then, keep pushing those builds and we'll see you in Hell. Full 2.0.1 Patch Notes Improvements Added controller rumble support for every Skill. Reduced flashing visual effects for Carcará Dive and Bombardment . Uber Unique Relics now use the same VFX presentation as Unique Blessings.

Gameplay Temporarily removed Vultures from Survival Floors while we investigate an issue where they sometimes freeze in the flying state, blocking run progression.

Fixed non-hitscan Projectile Attacks using fixed breakpoints for Projectile Amount instead of percentage-based additional projectile chance. Enraged Deadman's homing projectiles now become increasingly accurate over time. Removed projectile collision against curtains and beds in the Laboratory and Research Camp.
