Developer MachineGames has whipped out a second update for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle: a patch that in fact fixes a whip issue for the rugged archaeologist. It’s one of many bugs squashed, alongside double-vision issues after nearly drowning and frame-rate stuttering in cutscenes.
The second update–posted on Bethesda’s website–aims to address a problem in which Dr. Jones couldn’t equip his whip. The Indiana Jones and the Great Circle patch also brings “improvements to global illumination on Xbox.” Basically, shadows look even better, with the image quality appearing less washed out. MachineGames also noted that it corrected a problem on PC where global illumination could be disabled because of “playing with below-minimum VRAM graphics cards.”
Last week saw the arrival of the first update for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, offering up path tracing on PC for select Nvidia cards. MachineGames is working on the feature (which is like souped-up ray tracing) to AMD cards in the future, but it’s not part of this second update.
