Overview
- Insomniac released a hotfix that reduces the opacity and intensity of Scent Trails and Audio Sense indicators and fixes several crashes reported by some players.
- Players posted before-and-after comparisons showing the neon trail was dialed back to a subtler pool of ambient color that still marks objectives but is less visually intrusive.
- The studio said it is evaluating toggleable options so players may be able to modify or disable Senses in a later patch and confirmed a separate UV visual bug will be corrected in a future update.
- The Senses feature drew heavy pre-release attention and the nickname 'fart gas' from some players and critics, making the visual change a prominent example of post-launch responsiveness.
- The update highlights how Insomniac is using quick patches to address user experience and stability, and players should expect further tweaks and fixes as feedback is collected.
