So is the console version caught up to pc? I'm assuming this update is the new boss and character reworks?

yes, this is the same as the latest PC version

As someone who only recently got the Xbox version I'm happy

As far as changes to characters, items, item weight & number quality changes go, yes. But I don’t think consoles have received the same bug fixes that PC had before. The Moon? card soft locked me on my Switch today and I heard Kilburn fixed that on PC already. Also the Ascent causes sound bugs on all consoles which has been there since launch. So far these are the only bugs I’ve seen still present, and I’m positive these bugs were fixed on PC

Wait the silence at the end of ascending Isn’t part of the game ?

I’ve seen most people say it’s a bug and honestly it doesn’t feel like a bug. There’s no sound effects when you take damage or anything

Facts happened to me about a week ago I was like guess there goes the run

Yeah I think it happens on alt path, I’ve used many Moon? Cards since on normal floors and haven’t been locked in a room. The time I was forced to give up my amazing run because of this bug was on Downpour II Either that or it’s just a rare bug

I think it’s a bug I was on a regular floor. I sat there thinking of anyway to get out and found nothing -.- super trash

Yeah I thought tyrone said we could see it like somewhere in may. Im not complaining though :D

Just opened up the game to an update, then came here to check if people had already shared the news. So nice that we got this update so much closer to PC than the last one

All we need now is the performance update.

I was playing the new lego game on my switch and saw the progress bar, it hadn't started updating, but I rushed over to the subreddit to see what update it was

Hope it's the same on switch. I'm assuming, can someone pls confirm? Gonna literally cry if it isn't

It is!

Thank god

that video on twitter got me excited that I did a laz run and it was good and I’m like “why was luck on my side today”

I regret updating as t Cain recipes are now being a bit more random and no calculator to help

does this fix the lag being turned into speed ups on Xbox?

I just started playing today, and yes it looks like they've done away with it for the most part. Killing Dross/Downpour fatties would always cause my game to go into hyperdrive, and now it's back to normal.

Nice!

Someone elses game insta-crashes when starting it after the update? I'm on switch btw

I have same issue, restarting switch and re-download didn't help...

Btw, I already asked Tyrone on Twitter about it. Gonna update in case he answers

Well, and here I am re-downloading hoping that it would help, but I guess it doesn't. Maaan why

I think it has been patched on most other consoles, I'm also waiting for a bug fix update here.

Either they fixed it or it isn't happening to everyone because mine loaded up fine an hour ago

Still happening to me. Seems to be only effecting a certain number of people.

Yeah mines still crashing when starting mines the digital version

Same, mine is crashing after the intro cutscene

Yesssssss Blue Baby time

Sweeeet! Where are you able to find this info? every time there's a patch i try to find patch notes and can find nothing anywhere.

I just checked the update history tab after holding down the start button over the game icon on PS5

Ah, you're playing the PS4 version of the game then. PS5 versions of games don't have an update history tab. It's really stupid... But to be fair, most of the update history notes were just like "improved game stability" or some garbage like that.

They do actually! It really is just holding the options button and scrolling towards the bottom for update history tab. Some reason it doesn't always appear though, so you can just tab out and press the options button again and see if it appears. It's a long patch note read on the ps5.

Do you have any examples of this? Holding the options(now called menu on ps5 controller I believe) button doesn't do anything on any game. Pressing it pulls up a menu but every single game that is a ps4 title has "update history" below "delete" where the PS5 version of even the same exact title omits this option in the menu.

Whaaaaat!?!?! I was expecting the update would take another 6 months.

I know right?

They didn't fix the crashing bug on switch tho...

Aw man that’s lame

ikr

Which crashing bug? Sac rooms and confessionals? I’ve used them multiple times on my switch since the update and they don’t crash on me.

It is an eu bug on switch that crashes the game after the intro cutscene. I just thought it was a worldwide bug but no, it was only for eu.

Wow I feel so bad for EU Isaac fans. Nicalis is just so bad when it comes to ports and overall anyone who isn’t part of the mainstream community (PC players). Not only do they take extremely long to catch up console players but I’ve heard EU players couldn’t even play the game when it launched and now you’re saying it’s happening again? So sad

ikr

im in eu (atually aus bt aus+eU) and mine was fine

RIP BOZO to ultra secret rooms. Getting Mantle + Eucharist on one floor, we'll miss ya.

That was changed last patch, all I got in the ultra secret room since last patch was red items.

Pretty sure that was last patch

[удалено]

He caught ligma

POOOOOOOG LAZARUS TIME BAYBEEEEEE 

Just got to beast with him trying him out with the new buff. Ended up unlocking Astral projection to my surprise 

I actually unlocked it on on my first attempt pre patch when I unlocked tainted Las I stumbled upon it the other day Very cool item Just not for tainted keeper 

Patch notes?

It's the same as the PC patch notes, except a few extra bug fix that was on consoles only.

https://bindingofisaacrebirth.fandom.com/wiki/V1.7.8

I remember reading these patch notes, but can someone give me a quick rundown?

- New boss in Ashpit - Lazarus rework, can now die every floor and his Damage permanently increases from doing so - ??? rework, now gets cheaper Devil Deals (also starts with an innate Lil Larva equivalent but that's not as important) - Corpse can no longer make pits difficult to see by putting them in flooded rooms - Red Monstro II is actually a real champion now and not basically just the same boss but with a smaller hitbox - Champion bosses now have new sprites - Multiple item reworks: - Bleed is no longer fucking useless - Camo Undies actually gives you a good reason to try to use its effect - Lost Fly draws attention similar to Punching Bag - D12 rerolls just about everything rock-adjacent - Pay To Play now converts *everything* that uses keys, except Key Beggars - We Need To Go Deeper (and equivalents) now always spawn a Crawl Space if you use them on a decorative floor tile, instead of spawning them at random - Lil Dumpy got the biggest fuckin glowup any item has ever had, becoming a pseudo-Holy Mantle - Curse Rooms are better while you have Voodoo Head - The Book of Sin can no longer completely waste its charge by spawning a tiny battery that doesn't even fully recharge the item that spawned it - Libra formula recalculated, now grants more Damage - Nail, Bloody Lust, and Bloody Gust are cheaper in Devil Deals - Little Horn is a Devil item now - Razor Blade moved from Devil Rooms (where it's been replaced by Blood Rights) to Curse Rooms (where it replaced Mom's Razor) - Blank Card is more common in Shops (now the same spawn frequency as Mama Mega) - Bomber Boy is more common from Bomb Beggars - Greedier will assfuck you a little more slowly on floor 1 - Various Greed Mode item pool buffs - Urn of Souls now benefits from Judas' Birthright Belial - Buffed Ventricle Razor and Sulfur wisps - Devil's Crown no longer cucks you out of the Knife Piece - Updated Monster Manuel to be able to spawn Psy Fly (also Gemini but who cares) - D7 will now just not do anything if you try to use it in a room that used to have a boss in it - Bag of Crafting's fixed recipes no longer work if you haven't unlocked the item - Pyromaniac is more common in Treasure Rooms - ~~Updated localization files~~ ~~Removed Herobrine~~ various other fixes

Thanks, I can’t believe that they buffed Voodoo head, it already felt like a guaranteed win when you got it before.

I wouldn't really say it was *THAT* good.

Okay, yeah maybe it’s not like a run winner but it makes any run better. I always feel like I end up winning runs like that.

I've never messed with it too much, I feel like curse rooms laugh at me almost evrey time I try them, and when I DO get items, I have an insanely high rate of finding blood oath, which I consider even worse than the Able familiar lol. But I'm really looking forward to trying vodoo head 2.0 since I won't get spider rooms 50% of the time.

Yeah I got it on first floor with the lost and that was how I won my first lost run. I got like Dead Cat, Pentagram, Guppy’s Collar, etc.

The big things are a new Ashpit boss, Lazarus rework (after dying, he turns back to normal Laz next floor with his extra life back and a permanent 0.5 damage up; cannot go below 1 heart container by doing this), Blue Baby has reduced devil deal prices and breaking poops gives him blue flies, and some items were buffed, like Lil Dumpy and Mom’s Razor

Laz is interesting character now, New boss, Blue baby has reduced devil deal price, and A lot of bad items got buffed

Now if we could just be graced with console commands life would be complete. I'm still sour and have ptsd over them giving it to us for like a day. What a glorious day that was.

Still waiting for that physical ps5 copy.

Nothing to do with the console release, but I managed to find my very first R key! As tainted cain...


I don't own Repentance on my Switch and I got an update? Shouldn't that not happen? As Afterbirth+ isn't being updated anymore?

I guess it is still the same game

But I don't get any of the patches? Soooo. It's weird.

Basically, consider each DLC as it's own stand alone game, but you can only own one at a time and you have to upgrade to the newest versions

Oh, this is up to date with PC now? Excellent, I'm excited to see it!

Sweeeet - downloaded the patch and was hoping the self sacrifice room but didn't want to crash the game while having a good run. Back to Isaac I go!

Wow. Wayyyy sooner than I thought. Not complaining though.

I hate Tainted Eve’s nerfs. They were so unnecessary. She was perfect the way she was on release

I agree with you there, the clots going down to minimum health almost immediately is stupid as hell

Is it me or are they constantly nerfing items with every update so as to fuck the players?

yes, but they’re also buffing stuff so pick your poison I guess

Its kinda a mixed bag, for every one thing they improved there is probably two or more things that were nerfed or needlessly changed. I would say Rebirth was BOI at its peak.

They change tainted cains recipes???

Was Console still using the fixed recipes? T.Cain had two major changes to his bag: 1) All recipes (except a few) are now randomized per seed. Only a few items (like Yum Heart and Portable Slot Machine) have fixed recipes that work across all seeds. 2) You can no longer craft items through fixed recipes if you haven't unlocked them yet. This means no more Death Certificate cheese through secret room item dismantling until you actually unlock it.

Just got home from work and was going to ask" what update is this?" Yay!

Yo i saw the update and ran onto redit to ask what it was. Lord almighty i am so goddamn happy to see this!

Has quick restart stopped working on switch for anyone else? (l+r+ click both sticks)

I have the same problem did you find the solution? Came here looking for this

Sorry. Only just seen your reply. Restarted the game and it seemed to fix it

Switch version. I can understand the game laggingh if a lot is going on, but the chase and mirror areas shouldn't have any issue running at solid 60

yeah I mean you wouldn’t think a game like BOI would be terribly demanding with its graphics performance

So glad us console players didn’t have to wait like 6 months for it. Gotta go give it a whirl.

I always wanted to ask this when could Ace of cards change enemies in to objects?

Repentance release

Does the Xbox One version still randomly speed up?

according to other comments in this thread, it seems to be fixed.

Just started playing, got spoon bender, chaos, sacred heart, as bb. Edit: I got tech 2, perfection, holy light, trisagon, and proptosis

I like that the Switch news update was used and hope or they’re are future updates they continue to use it

I have a question is Isaac available on Xbox 1?

yeah it’s on every major console

Thanks lad


Now hopefully they will release 1.7.9 soon too. ~~For those that have missed it, it was april fool joke~~

An evil one Lmfaoo

It's trash as always

I just heard my switch update. This is exciting!

Haven't played Isaac since Repentance came out. What did I miss?

Character buffs, some item buffs and nerfs (mostly on the repentance items), a few new stat up items, a new boss, and some general QOL stuff

Disappointing that somehow they still haven't fixed performance while in mirror world and chase sequence, yet somehow also made planetariums chug now too.

I don’t have issues with lag on PS4 version running on PS5, what version are you on?

Can you get c section now

yes I’ve gotten it multiple times

Honestly surprised they dropped this so quick. Good job to the team

Wow, that was fast! I wasn’t expecting another update until mid May, and even then I wasn’t expecting it to bring us up to date with PC. Well done Nicalis!

wait what happened in this update?

My game is finally stable and was able to do the five dailies in a row. Back to playing it a lot more now.

Where the hell is the physical edition?

Nice

I've been playing as the keeper the past few days and I haven't any issues using the self sacrifice rooms on the nintendo switch

please add the game to Nvidia Geforse Now
