Summary (AI)
Static Dread: The Submarine update 1.0.2 introduces a lower-difficulty mode that can be toggled anytime, reducing enemy damage, speed, and cursor speed in QTEs. Launch parameters have been added to improve compatibility with weaker hardware, including options to disable prewarm and force different graphics APIs. The patch also adds a console in the rest room to review notes found during exploration and addresses UI issues in list navigation. Several audio and text inconsistencies have been fixed, along with bugs affecting door sounds, loading during the final mainframe sequence, and the final QTE sequence has been simplified.
