Pacify News

Ok trying to run this patch through again. Last time it caused some problems. This is not the Woods update yet. I will release it as soon as I am finished it, even if it is before October 31.

This patch should fix audio and video issues some were having and a few other bugs.

If you cannot connect with your friends, make sure you completely close Steam. This will ensure that you get the update. If one person has the update and one doesn't, it won't let you both connect with each other.

Thank you,
Shawn

If you have problems with this update, please comment below and I will check into it.

If you would like to revert back to the last update you can do this:
-Right click Pacify in your library
-Choose Properties
-Now choose the BETAS tab
-Drop the first list down to BeforeLastUpdate
-Then close.

This will download the last working version of Pacify. But you can only connect online with players that have the same version as you.

UPDATED 4:23am 9/9/2020
I reverted this patch back to the previous version of the game for now. Make sure you close Steam and reopen to get the most current version so that you can connect with your friends.

========= BEGIN MISSION TEXT =========

There is an old estate outside of town, in the middle of the woods. The estate has a strange history. It is the resting place for witches of the past. The groundskeeper is supposedly a witch herself named Agnes Rose. There is a rumor that several hundred years ago, she was convicted of being a witch, but she couldn't be killed. She resides at the estate watching over the witches' graves.

Several children have gone missing in the area over the last century, and the town's people are sure Agnes Rose has something to do with it. No one entering the estate has ever come back. So, PAH Inc. would like you to go to the estate. We are very interested in seeing if the rumor is true or not. Please investigate, and bring any evidence of paranormal activity back to headquarters for testing.

Thank you,
PAH INC.

PACIFY: "The Woods"

I have been working on the next update to PACIFY. It is larger than the first two maps and has new unique objectives. I am trying to make it terrifying, and it may be the scariest update yet. I am aiming to get the update out by Halloween (October 31, 2020), but I am not sure I can hit that. As before, this will be a free update!

After this update releases, I have one or two more update ideas planned, and then I will attempt to get it ported to every console.

Thank you again for continuing to play Pacify and sharing it with your friends. It is always fun reading the comments, seeing the artwork, and watching the gameplay and live streams.

Below are a few screenshots.

I have been rolling out bug fixes since the FARM update released.

Today's update includes a huge fix for random network disconnects. It may have affected the DOLLS and FARM missions. Hopefully it now works great everyone.

I optimized the FARM area some without losing too much visual quality. I recommend setting your computer to 1920x1080 or less and medium quality if you have an older PC or Mac.

The FPS cap has been raised for people with faster computers and monitors.

Several other bugs have been fixed as well and I will continuing to fix bugs as I see them posted.

Thanks for the bug reports, comments, and reviews. I am reading it all and working on as much as possible.

The "Farm" update is finally done!
I am sorry I took so long.
I hope you enjoy it.



The menu has a new option.

Choose "Dolls" for the original game and "Farm" for the new game.

I added new achievements, leaderboards and several bug fixes.

I cannot say THANK YOU enough to everyone! You are all amazing!
