- Bug Fixes - 14 November 2024
Ahoy, Explorers! 🎉 Today we’re rolling out a small but mighty update, addressing a single bug reported by our awesome community: Removed the stray debug text that was unexpectedly appearing on the Moon. Thank you, as always, for your support of Poi over the years! We love hearing from you, so please keep sharing your feedback and any issues you encounter. You can reach us anytime at [email protected] All the best, ❤️ Paul and Ben
- PlayStation Controller Support Added - 16 September 2023
This update is for the (millions) of Poi fans still out there who enjoy PC gaming with a PlayStation controller. We've updated the UI to dynamically switch between Xbox or PlayStation icons depending on what controller is connected. The game now also natively supports DualSense controllers, however we recommend keeping Steam Input enabled (the default option) for best compatibility. Happy gaming! ❤️ Paul & Ben Oh, and the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller icons are supported now too, heh hoo!
- New 3D Diorama Viewer - 30 October 2022
Today we're thrilled to announce a mini content update! As a bonus for finishing the game, you'll unlock a new Dioramas option under the Extras menu on the Title Screen. On the Dioramas screen you'll be able to preview many of the 3D models found throughout the game. Did you find any easter eggs? Let us know what other characters, models or props you'd like to see! All the best, ❤ Paul & Ben
- Bug Fix Patch Release - 4 April 2021
There were a couple issues introduced with the last release that should now be fixed: The tower should appear properly in Sinking Sands Heart of The Sandpit The snowballs should appear properly in the Snowball Scramble Challenge Level Be sure that Steam has updated the game and verify the correct build number (6489066) in the in-game options menu. Thanks to ToriMakara, creepercraftsix, bitweeder (and others) for reporting these issues! And please let us know if you spot anything else, as we're a small team and our resources are limited, so we appreciate all the help from the community. Thanks, Paul & Ben
- Ultrawide Monitor Support Added - 17 March 2021
Hi All! We have a small but noteworthy update today which adds native ultrawide monitor support (21:9 and above) for folks out there gaming on fancy monitors. To enable an ultrawide resolution, simply navigate to the in-game options screen and select your monitor's resolution from the dropdown. Poi now looks and runs great at 3440x1440@144hz and up! We also fixed some legacy UI animation bugs when running the game at higher frame rates and made some minor UI improvements to the options screen. Oh, and some of you may have noticed we recently transitioned the Official Poi Soundtrack DLC to Steam's new OST type, so for those of you who own the soundtrack or the Deluxe Edition of Poi, the soundtrack should show up in your Steam Library now. And last but not least, THANK YOU and everyone else for supporting our small dev team over the years. ❤ Paul and Ben from PolyKid P.S. We created these…

- Bug Patch #2 - 17 February 2017
Hey all, This week we've got another small Friday update (build #1639667) with a few changes. Bug Fixes and Improvements Added an option to toggle VSync from the options menu (this might help the performance/stuttering issues some of you have still been reporting). Fixed a bug with mouse acceleration introduced from Bug Patch #1 Fixed a bug when using Alt+Enter (Cmd+F on Mac) to enter full screen mode where the UI/HUD would disappear. Updated our Steamworks SDK (this should be a transparent change, but if you see any issues with achievements or leaderboards, let us know). Set Target Frame Rate We've also added an in-game console command to help those with performance issues. You can set the target frame rate (from 30-120). For example, if your machine is less powerful it might be a better experience to clamp the frame rate to 30. Open Poi and hit the tilde (~) key (left of the 1 key). T…
