Summary (AI)

Patch 1.2 for PARKSIDE: DECAYED SOUL MANIPULATION improves control saving and introduces options for automatic ladder mounting and leaning style. The alarm system has been adjusted so guards investigate alarms rather than attacking immediately, and turrets are no longer triggered by alarms. Several bugs have been fixed, including issues with kill counts, weapon dropping, mission area exploits, and invisible walls. Mission-specific fixes address enemy behavior, item access, turret clipping, and quest logic, with new dialogue added to Mission 7's second sidequest.

Tip: expand all for quick scanning.
