- Persistent Settings Hotfix - 17 April 2026
This fixes the bug that would reset custom settings to default whenever starting a new save file or loading a different saved game. This had me scratching my head for months. It turns out it was a game variable initialization script that was treating saved game data as though it were unique per saved file. Glad to put this one behind me and allow you keep the settings you prefer. The following changes have been made to Transliminal: Beyond The Backrooms v0.0.98648a: Additions Collect the Document “Regarding Mother” hidden in collected Baby Doll torso Screen reflection in DVD Menu New Game Intro Sometimes hold music will play when answering phones Tweaks & Fixes Finally fixed the issue where data initialization script was causing custom settings to be overwritten to defaults when creating a new saved game or loading a different saved game. Now you can save your settings with confidence!…
- Missing Tapes Hotfix - 9 April 2026
So, if you’ve played the game recently you may have noticed that when you fell through the Cogwell Matrix it would delete all of your tapes. Some thought that this bug was related to collecting the Pocket Radio because that didn’t break if you fell. But it actually had nothing to do with the new radio. When I updated to the more performant tape player method with filters I also added some safeguards to the code that limited the tape count data. But I neglected to update the new tape script in the “Falling” scene which made everyone's tapes equal to -1 effectively erasing all tapes they had collected. The good news is that I have corrected this and it won’t happen again. The bad news is that, if your game was affected, you are going to have to recollect all tapes beyond the 1st one again. I couldn’t be more sorry about that. I know it’s a pain. But at least I was able to put in code that…

- Hotfix v0.0.9857a - 29 August 2025
Fixed issue where if the character died to Toxic sources they would continue to take damage and gain infection even after death. Which would result in a second death shortly after restart. And increase infection at a disproportionate rate. Green Mold Stalks will not spawn when Entities are turned off Fixed swings on playgrounds that had interesting physics Credits will end with a New Game Menu instead of automatically loading back into your current save. Made barricades solid but removed barricade block depending on configuration Applied proper texture to glitched wooden chair Hammer knocks against interactive objects like barricades Reduced dissolve time for barricade boards when shot with phase emitter Removed fadeout mipmaps from fire logs Junglegym mimics can now be shot with the Phase Emitter

- Graphics Settings & Performance Patch EA v0.0.98539a - 10 February 2025
I've been absolutely gutted by how badly the game runs on some systems. This is an incremental attempt to make Transliminal run smoother across different PC Configurations. And also to give players more graphical options for water. In my testing I was able to exponentially improve framerates and stability in The Pools by reducing the new Water Quality settings. Also some more little improvements here and there. There's a Control screen that shows all the buttons now too. Also, you can interact with things while holding the Emitter now. But now you have to aim before firing it. Anyways, The following changes have been made to Transliminal: Beyond The Backrooms EA v0.0.9839a: New Additions There is now a Water Quality dropdown in the Graphics menu. This replaces the Dynamic Water Setting and allows greater control over the complexity of water effects. More insanity effects. Added a screen…
- Cross Hair Persistence Hotfix v0.0.985334a - 20 December 2024
The game saves your Cross Hair settings now. Also the stamina system is time dependent instead of frame dependent. So you no longer run out of breath faster when you have good performance. Tweaks & Fixes Fixed Stamina drain and restoration happening at different rates depending on system performance. Slightly increased Character Walk and Run speed. Crosshair Persists between saved games and scene loads I just can't stop, _-==-_
- Phase Emitter Installation Interaction Softlock Hotfix v0.0.985333a - 20 December 2024
Sorry for anyone who had to start a new game after installing an emitter while you had it equipped. Should all be fixed now. Also I added a center dot crosshair option to make it up to you. It's not much, but it'll have to do. New Additions Added CENTER DOT (crosshair) option in GAMEPLAY Menu. Tweaks & Fixes Fixed an issue where if players had the phase Emitter equipped when installing it into the Gateway they would permanently lose the ability to interact with things. Stamina UI in STATUS menu now updates in real time. Now go get lost, wanderer. Should be pretty smooth sailing. If you mind the nightmares. _-==-_

- Capacitor Power Tracking Hotfix - 13 December 2024
Added the Capacitor Charge per unity to saved game data. The lack of that data being restored caused the phase emitter to no longer function even though it had a charge. Hopefully this patch reaches everyone before the version fix. If you are still having a problem you must install the Phase Emitter in the Gateway Device in The Heart Of Electrics and get a new one. Sorry for the inconvenience. _-==-_
