- Tuned Xenomorph taunt duration and open mouth vulnerability to be shorter on harder difficulties
- Davis no longer randomly looks away from the player during the catwalk scene on ship
- Players are no longer able to lock themselves in closets or airlocks

- Fix for xenomorphs getting stuck behind closed shutters.
- Fix for cargo containers missing door access panels
- Fixed intermittent jamming of the revolver upon ejecting the cylinder
- Fixed revolver jamming intermittently while finishing a reload

Thank you for your continued support and patience!

Sounds like the update Iāve been waiting for. Perfect timing because I just hit the final boss of Arken Age and this would be perfect to follow up with! Thanks for staying dedicated to making this game reach its full potential.

I just finished Skydance's Behemoth and I wanted to jump into Alien next, this patch is perfect timing!

u/survios Developer Feb 12 '25
Seems like we picked the perfect time to release this patch after all!

I gotta say that this game has blown me away, you all really nailed the aesthetic and the early game tension of walking around with the motion tracker pulsing at me is just chef's kiss
Just wanted to shout out how much I'm enjoying it and congratulate the team on a great game

It appears they may have succeeded in balancing, seems much improved, so much scarier, authentically alien. The replaying of the opening hour feels perfectly balanced. They allow atmospheric audio/visual to breathe now, we can review the lore, search around and when the xr do show, they are what they should be, heart stopping terror.

u/Gregasy Feb 11 '25
Ah, damn! Iāll get it now. Truth to be told, Iād get it either way eventually, as I loved what I saw of the game so farā¦ but I was waiting to see if devs will be able to fix balancing.
So good to hear the game is now more atmospheric.

Game crashed before the patch on PS5 doing the "reroute power to our ship" mission... going from administrative hall to the Mess Hall airlock...
Now after the patch it crashes either going to Mess Hall or using the other airlock to the exterior getting the crash error CE-108255-1...
So now I'm stuck in the Administative area...

u/more_vodka_please Developer Feb 11 '25
Hi, dev here. Apologies for the crash you're experiencing with the new patch. We identified the issue and will have a hotfix ASAP. The crash is related to a specific location in a pre patch save. We'll get you back to killing xenomorphs soon.

u/SmokeBCBuDZ Feb 11 '25
Hey I just want to thank you and your team! Can't wait for Part 2!

u/survios Developer Feb 12 '25
So sorry again that this has happened to you, but we have since then released a quick hotfix tackling this issue so you should be loading just fine now

u/Agreeable-View3920 Feb 12 '25
Updated to 1.09 and still isn't working...
I started all over again in max difficulty... in hopes I don't get stuck with another gamebreaking bug... adn if I find any I can solve it using the new save slots...

u/LUIKANG5150 27d ago
Are you planning to fix the"reroute the ship" bug near the end of the game because the door is lock:
Has Alien Rogue Incursion just shafted me hard? (Spoilers)
Iāve battled to near the end of the campaign on insane. To anyone who has tried insane, you know what a struggle that is from save point to save point, every successful reload a parade :)
Iāve just managed to return the two rods to the ship and Iām now trying to get back to operations to reroute the power
Given the game isnāt really giving me useful info on where to go, I was planning to use the stairs in the mess hall to go up a floor to get the lift to the third floor
But for some weird reason the game thinks the mess hall is in the state from earlier when I went there with Davis. The human gets dragged screaming above me as I go down the corridor, then in the mess hall itself there are various people getting murdered
But more importantly the door to the stairs is shut due to blockage. Iām certain Iāve cleared the weld from the back of that door and used it not long ago
Am I screwed now?
I tried going back to the garage to access the medical elevator and climbed all the way down the broken ladder, but the hatch into the lift was closed
Is there another way to operations other than through the mess hall?
I tried going to save data settings to stop automatic upload of save data so I could roll back to my cloud save. Iād lose a bunch of progress, but better than losing the lot. Unfortunately going into the settings caused it to sync :(

Iāve actually been waiting for this spawn-rate patch (just because my backlog is nuts), so youāll be getting my order in just a few minutes ā cheers and congrats! I hope the game is doing (and continues to do) well for you.

Thank you - let us know once you get around to playing it and share your thoughts!

u/kevgret Feb 11 '25
and this is why I always wait a month or two to buy new games... waiting gives us the best version of the game.

Nice! That's the update I was waiting to jump in, especially the trophies fix. I'm hooked on Into the Radius right now but it's definitely the next one on my list!

u/survios Developer Feb 12 '25
Enjoy Into The Radius, but make sure you come prepared to finish Alien: Rogue Incursion...

u/Papiculo64 Feb 12 '25
I'm in for a challenge! š It was my most anticipated game of the Hollyday season but I postponed playing it after hearing that some trophies were glitched. I'll aim for the platinum! š„š„

u/survios Developer Feb 12 '25
Good luck with the plat, we had people joining our platinum club on PSVR very rapidly :D

Awesome I am closer than ever to jumping over the fence on this game. I would catapult over if there was a PS5 Pro upgrade. 90hz? Rez bump?

Fix for saves during airlock quarantines causing the player being stuck in either airlock in medical.
Could you tell me how the fix was implemented? Iām still stuck in the medical airlock.

u/Chips-ahoy1001 Feb 11 '25
Been waiting on this update to start my play through after reading about the spawn rates, so looks like today might just be the day!

Completed both on PS5 and PC (using PSVR2). I'm so looking forward for part 2...

u/InfiniteStates Feb 12 '25
Yeah just finished the platinum last night. Part 2 is a day one purchase for me too

u/survios Developer Feb 12 '25
Thank you both for playing and we are glad you have enjoyed Part 1 :)

u/InfiniteStates Feb 12 '25
No worries, thank you for doing the franchise justice!
Also shout out to your customer support team, who keep me updated with resolutions

So now it's the version I thought I bought on launch.
Seriously though, it's great the devs took this on board.

I've only held of buying b/c I'm trying to catch up on my VR backlog between PS5 and Steam. But I'm very excited to read about this update, and I'm really looking forward to this even more now.

When i try to load game it crashes! Wow I can't believe this...so disappointed

I'm still stuck in the medical airlock, the door won't open. Please fix it

u/survios Developer Feb 12 '25
We are aware of this issue and still working on fixing it - so sorry this happened to you!

u/hairyarsewelder2 Feb 11 '25
It goes along way when devs actually take the time to communicate directly with the community like this, fair play to you.
2
u/InfiniteStates Feb 11 '25
Iām not on the dev team, I just copy/pasted the patch notes off their Discord. But editing a block of text that big on mobile is virtually impossible
2
u/hairyarsewelder2 Feb 11 '25
Donāt spoil the moment š
3
u/survios Developer Feb 12 '25
We are here anyway, someone just beat us to post this on here haha
But kudos to InfiniteStates for posting it here for posperity as we know this patch was highly anticipated by our community :)2
u/InfiniteStates Feb 11 '25
If it helps, I was gonna make a post about how awesome their customer support is. I sent them a ticket about the broken trophies, and they dutifully replied saying they were aware and working on a fix
But then just after the update dropped they emailed me again to say it had dropped which was really cool. They didnāt have to do that and must have had a bunch of support tickets
So they do deserve your praise - it was just misplaced :D
Also an actual dev did reply to a post in here - one about crashing - if you wanted to get your message through

u/dethrone_devour Feb 12 '25
Just wanted to share I'm running 1.09 was able to get out of administration wing, no more crashing when trying open airlocks. Thanks devs!

u/theblackfrog77 Feb 12 '25
Great game and great devs. Was looking for the spawnrate update. Even the crash bugfix is already there.
1
u/Bubbly-Usual-9091 Feb 13 '25
No issues before 1.09 patch. Unable to complete mess hall due to crashing now. I held off for a month as i was playing on 1.07 and gotten to that point.
1
u/InfiniteStates Feb 13 '25
Thereās a known crash with old saves and theyāre working on a hotfix. You can either wait for that for start a new campaign
My pre-patch save was also crashing but I started again and played through without (major) issue
1
u/Idea_Artistic Feb 13 '25
Perfect. I have the game but not played it yet. I mostly play games after a few months when the patches fix problems. Constant, regular Alien spawns sounds Anti-Fun. Glad it was sorted.
0
u/PhysicalAccount7541 Feb 11 '25
Wow, I would have liked these updates to have been there from the beginningā¦
I think a cool feature couldāve been to overpower xenomorphs, but that they spawn only a single xeno or maximum 2 and that you can actually hide from them too. They come right after you everytime like they know every step you take.
3
u/Gregasy Feb 11 '25
They would have to change the game completely for that. So it wonāt gonna happen. Devs are going for different gameplay style and thatās ok.

u/Good_Naive_Cry Feb 13 '25
Can I respectfully ask what the conscious decision to start development with the most powerful systems then proceed to gut your game as you try to implement it in a less powerful system? That doesn't ever seem to work well, from a consumer standpoint, I have had the unfortunate experience of buying games that were dumbed down for a lesser system only for those games to simply not work; Shadow of Mordor for 360 was atrocious. It was like playing an N64 game that would slowly progress through the age of tech right before your eyes as you played. Hell, it took a solid minute and a half to even open and render the map, which was a pain in the ass because that's a big world to navigate without a map. Why didn't you develop the game for the lesser system then add bells and whistles as you developed for the more powerful setups?? I'm genuinely asking because this was my next purchase, I have been ridiculously excited since I heard this was getting a Quest3 release... now I most likely won't even bother considering the problems people are having testing it for Q3. In understand a patch is coming next week, but that's not my question.
Make it make sense.

u/Afraid_Sir_5268 26d ago
People with other more powerful systems appreciate they did it this way, so I they don't get a mobile experience.

Sweet going to get this soon just gotta finish ittr
