Build A Rocket Boy has released Title Update 5 for MindsEye and shared its full patch notes. So, let’s see what this new update brings to the table.

Patch 5 includes several fixes. For example, it fixes cases where players could get stuck between objects or fall through the ground. Environmental details will now look correct even from far away. Also, Jacob will no longer look blurry or low-quality in some cutscenes.

Update 5 also packs a couple of performance tweaks. For instance, it fixes a performance issue on PC when vehicles exploded after long sessions. It also a performance drop in the Penthouse Gamble mission. And that’s it. Apart from these two tweaks, there aren’t any other performance improvements. Compared to its launch version, MindsEye runs way better now. So, it’s at least worth noting that the devs have improved the game’s performance and reduced its stutters.

Finally, Patch 5 introduces ARCADIA. According to the devs, this is an ever-expanding world of missions, races, puzzles, and challenges. On PC, Build.ARCADIA unlocks intuitive tools to create and share your own experiences.

For the Standard Version, we get four new missions/modes. These are the Going Haywire – Downtown, Sky Race – Cruise Control, Sky Race – Free Bird, and C.A.R.E.less Survival. Those who have bought the Deluxe Version will get access to two more missions/modes.

Like always, Steam will download this update the next time you launch its client. You can find more details about ARCADIA here. Below, you can also find the complete changelog.

Stay tuned for more!
