Update v1.7.79954:
Patch Summary
This patch contains Arcade Mode, including three separate new ways to play We Happy Few. It also includes infrastructure to handle the upcoming DLC, and general performance optimizations, crash fixes, fixes for progression blockers, fixes for gameplay bugs, and localization fixes.

New Features
• Survival mode Added. Survival mode is a return to the Early Access survival experience. It has had all story elements removed, and is a mostly systemic mode. The mode includes tiles from the story mode that have had story elements removed, new areas and tiles, new onboarding, and a scoring system added.
• Night’s Watch mode Added. Night’s Watch is the opportunity to play as one of the wellies - or in this case, Constable Constable. You’ll have to hunt Downers throughout the night to make sure the streets are safe for the citizens of Wellington Wells in the morning, and includes a new enemy to fight.
• Sandbox mode Added. Sandbox mode allows you to tweak and change the procedural general system We Happy Few uses, with sometimes unpredictable results. Options that might result in unusual visual features or weird AI issues are marked with warnings, so use those settings at your own discretion. Basically, this is a mode to mess around in, and cheat/have fun as you’d like.
• Added game type indication to save game info when loading games.
• Added DLC menu.

General Bugs/Stability
• Fixed a crash on consoles when loading a save game inside the Doctor HQ in Arthur’s playthrough. This should unblock progression for anyone whose saved games were consistently crashing in this location.
• Fixed rare crash/infinite loading issues.
• UI fixes.
• Fixed issues with patrols/navmesh failing, causing NPCs to be in unusual places.
• Fixed issues with NPCs teleporting/attaching directly to you during combat.
• You can now equip a single gas mask when multiple are owned.
• Rarely, Doctors' saw weapons had collision and could make characters bounce erratically when both come in contact.
• Bobbies wearing gas mask are no longer immune to caltrops. That was quite silly.
• Added missing prompt to unlock a water pump if character has a lockpick already crafted in their inventory.
• Climbing onto the televisions in the streets no longer causes the camera to spin wildly.
• Opening the map no longer causes the current quest map marker to persist after the quest is completed.
• Player can no longer slip into areas when metal shutters open for NPCs (could break quests).
• Rain should no longer show up in the interior of the joy factory.
• Reloading the initial auto save will now correctly unlock the recipes for the Jolliest Brolly and Not So Jolly Brolly.
• Entering a shop at the same time as night comes causes no longer causes the player to be trapped inside.
• Spankers inside Wellie houses can no longer hit the player through walls and closed doors (tiny collision missing in the door frame).
• Bodies you are carrying will no longer disappear if there are too many corpses nearby.
• The term "non-lethal kills" in the statistics menu was dumb and now is less dumb (“takedowns”).
• Subtitle/language fixes (including several Britishims fixed).
• Localization fixes (including Arthur’s final cutscene - now translated correctly).
• Fixed various stuck spots/locations where you could access areas inappropriately (causing issues).
• Many small fixes, like animation skips, clipping art, etc.

Collectibles/Achievements
• Collecting a memory mask while the player character is talking will no longer result in the VO of the mask not playing.
• Broadcasts: Uncle Jack shows will now unlock in all cases when listening and looking at wall protruding screens in the Village.
• Fixed an issue with the “Gimme Shelter” achievement caused by failing the "A Model Citizen" quest.
• Fixed an issue with the “Cat Burglar” achievement, where getting hit while picking up a fake cat statue could cause it to disappear.
• Fixed an issue with the “Arthur Haste-ings achievement” caused by consuming a random obsolete phlash pill that could be found in an obscure location. Using any phlash pill should now unlock this achievement.

Encounter Fixes
• NPCs should no longer clip into the ground near the Rubble Pile at the Water Pumps.
• Removed unobtainable chest in the middle of a watch tower in the military camp.
• Fixed some save incompatibility issues and other blockers for players using saves from version 1.5 or earlier.

• Ed Macmillan can no longer be lost. If you drop him, and he despawns, he’ll reappear at the point where you picked him up.
• Arthur - Alabaster Bobby in Haworth Labs will no longer find an adjacent room more interesting that the room he should be in (allowing him to be fought in all cases).
• Arthur - Edie Goes Downer: Loading in a game with the encounter/quest completed, no longer causes Arthur to repeat his quest completion dialog.
• Arthur - English Vice: Reform Club NPC barks are no longer persistent after leaving the level.
• Arthur - Future Perfect: Fixed incomplete video during "The House Of The Future" video with Jack.

• Arthur - The English Vice: Using the shock baton "Tickler" no longer causes the NPCs in the Reform Club to teleport.

• Arthur - The Scottish Play - Military Camp: Turning the subtitle option on, at the military base entrance, no longer displays a full page of dialogue obstructing the player's view.
