ACE Team’s new co-op horror game The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu has just received its first patch, and it’s a doozy.
It addresses a lot of the issues that people have been discussing since launch, including improvements to optimization, camera selection, bug fixes, and making it easier to find your cross-play friends.
Patch Notes:
Key Changes:
- Improved performance profiles for PC
- Optimisation improvements on Consoles (more planned in a future update)
- Added server setting to be able to find sessions using a password
- Ability to organise items in your own inventory with a mouse during interactions with the wagon added (PC Only)
- Modified the Saints shop so these are no longer bought at the woodshop. Saints are now equipped for a smaller cost at the ox wagon before an expedition
- Added a pre-configuration screen on first launch letting players choose a cinematic camera or a standard camera (standard camera may help with feelings of delayed interaction or motion sickness)
- Key bindings are now saved between sessions
Balance:
- “Censer mission” updated with several improvements. Purple corruption areas modified and are slower to kill players.
- Crawling canopy enemy (spider) does 50% less damage.
- Added a machete to the starting gear of all missions so players are never stuck with only knives.
- Adjustments to general enemy damage difficulty
- Slightly buffed stamina and run speed when tired.
- Knives do slightly more damage.
- Pole weapons have a bit more range.
- Enemies take longer to spawn when the forest wakes up.

- Enemies take longer to spawn when the forest wakes up.
While all these fixes are going to make The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu a much better experience for groups, as we highlighted in our review, one of its drawbacks was solo play. It seems this is still going to be The Mound’s weak spot. Hopefully some single player love will be added in a future update.
