I saw Amnesia: The Dark Descent and Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs update today.

Hey, I noticed today (December 4th, 2014) that Amnesia: The Dark Descent and Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs both updated on Steam. Do you guys know what this update is about? I have a feeling it has something to do with the engine they both run on.

I have no clue about what these changes mean, but here you go:

ATDD: https://steamdb.info/app/57300/history/

AAMFP: https://steamdb.info/app/239200/history/

I think one of the major things is adding controller compatibility to the game. Other than that it looks like they added or changed a bunch of assets.

Read the 1.3_ChangeLog.txt file in the folder and you'll see that this is at last the 1.3 update we've all been waiting for! Woo

Alright Thanks guys. It seemed kinda funny that they'd still update the HPL2 Engine while they work on SOMA with HPL3.

GREEEAAATTT!!!

There will also be an updated full-installer of both Amnesia games on FG and Humble Store?

I just checked and the updates are now available on the Frictional Games Shelf (for ATDD) and on the Humble Store for both games

Spoiler below!

I also have ATDD on GOG but the update isn't available there yet.

EDIT: By the way, if someone from Frictional Games can answer this question, why is there a "Files" download in the Humble Library? (see image in spoiler tag above). I downloaded the AAMFP files to see what it was, and it seems to be just the updated game files, doesn't the patch do the job of installing those itself? Thanks.

Those Files could be the updated content which can be copied to current-installations. This might be relevant for different copies from Amazon etc (not FG, Humble, GOG or Steam). That's my guess at least.

Jens said in another thread that the Files download isn't supposed to be there XD
