Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival Demo Patch Addresses Softlocks and UI Bugs

The first demo patch for Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival tackles movement softlocks, input freezes, audio overlaps, and graphics bugs.

Following positive feedback on the demo, the development team behind Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival has released a patch targeting technical hiccups, movement softlocks, and interface issues.

Movement and Gameplay Fixes

The patch eliminates multiple cases where players could become stuck or softlocked during movement, combat, and environmental interactions. It fixes an issue that permanently froze player input when combining certain actions simultaneously. Quick Turn proximity trigger conditions and persistent aim states after rebinding keys are also corrected.

Enemies, Audio, and UI

Combat fixes address incorrect animation loops, combat state triggers, and visual effects playing after enemy deaths, alongside fixing overlapping cultist audio lines. On the interface side, the patch resolves disappearing tutorial messages and objectives after changing settings mid-gameplay, and fixes Journal Collections failing to update after reading entries or listening to dictaphone recordings.

Visuals, PC, and Cinematics

Lighting issues across the prologue and Episode 1 are resolved, alongside graphical artifacts on character models and book textures, plus environmental collision bugs. For PC players, the executable file is now digitally signed to prevent security flags, and multi-monitor setups now detect resolutions correctly. Aidan's missing hair during the Prologue Outro cinematic has also been restored.

Why this patch matters

This patch clears out early technical friction points, making the demo stable enough for a smoother playthrough.
