MachineGames has released another update for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, just over a week after the game received its first update. The patch has numerous fixes, including a major one that addresses an issue where a user’s Game Slot may be reported as damaged or may appear to be completely missing, even though no actual problem occurred. Fixes that impact gameplay include addressing an issue where players cannot equip Indy’s whip, an issue where players end up with Indy’s camera permanently equipped, and an issue where players may drop and lose their camera if they use the quick-equip prompt while inspecting another nearby pick-up item.
For Xbox players, the team has made improvements to Global Illumination on the console, fixing issues where shadowed areas appeared brighter than expected. PC players have a variety of fixes, which you can read below in the full patch notes, but content creators will be pleased to hear that updating OBD Studio to version 31.0.0 should address the crashing issues.

Missions and quests – Please note this section contains some small spoilers
- Fixed an issue where Gina may not approach the secret entrance to the Vatican Treasure Chamber, blocking the mission from progressing.
