Unable to access hard mode (Steam) - Zulkesh - 10-01-2018
Hi all! I just got a new computer to play hard mode, and I started up steam, installed Amnesia, went through the first time startup process, and viola. No hard mode option whatsoever. Literally any advice would be appreciated, not sure if it's a corrupted file during installation or what, but I really want to play hard mode!
Thanks so much guys!
Regards, Zulkesh

Hey there!
Due to an error with the Hard Mode, it was briefly pulled from the Steam build. Assuming you own the game on Steam, you may opt-in to the beta which is currently going on!
Right click Amnesia in your Steam Library, go to Properties, the Betas tab, and opt into the public_beta (the Hard Mode beta).
Frictional will push an update once some slightly overlooked errors are patched up in the current build.Disregard the above, the update has now gone live. If the game has not updated, you may need to restart your Steam Client for it to refresh your downloads.
Best of luck, and sorry about the delays!

I restarted steam client, and still no hard mode option?! Man, I feel like this is about to be a drag...

I received the update through Steam about an hour after it went public, a few hours ago. Perhaps it's rolled out differently in different places, not sure. Maybe give it a few more hours.

The Hard Mode patch is up for the Windows version on Steam! Sounds strange if it isn't downloading. If you have another operating system, we will release the patch early next week.
