@Prismattik Right click on The Talos Principle -> Properties -> Betas -> Set the Beta Participation to None to go back to the newest version of the game.

ive readed everything about the version date but how do i go back to the newest version of the talos princeple?

@whitewhite2333 You can try using "legacy - pre-SE2017" build instead of previousversion.
whitewhite2333 15 Aug, 2023 @ 6:27am 
still can't find the map in previousversion

thank you so much ! i thought i was going crazy )

@theHorseWhisperer @petitpea The recent engine update broke the workshop maps. You need to revert to the old Talos build to play them.

— right click on The Talos Principle in your Steam library
— go to properties > betas
— opt-in by picking the "previousversion" branch in the drop-down menu

Hey y'all feeling pretty dumb over here, how the hell do i download the maps? I can subscribe to them, i launch the game in moddable format..... but i cant see a download button anywhere? what am i missing?
ehitburns 12 Apr, 2019 @ 7:28pm 
@TheHorseWhisperer You should be able to choose between a moddable and unmoddable version when you launch the game, right? From there, you should have a list of all installed levels under 'New Game'.
TheHorseWhisperer 12 Apr, 2019 @ 11:57am 
Really dumb question. How do I use a mod within Talos Principle?

I can't play this map. It's not showing up for some reason :/

Cool. Stands for some time of nice gameplay :D

I really liked this map, had my mind confused, infuriated and consentraded at the same time. all in all I really liked this map mostly because it included most of the game mechanics and contained good puzzles overall, I also like the 3 different sections with a rather nice transition instead of just walking into a new room.

@bmcfluff Not sure. The bug also appears on some other workshop maps, but not all.
bmcfluff 8 Nov, 2018 @ 5:05pm 
Any idea why the "backup" created when I get the first sigil says "2 Sigils"? Not an important issue; just curious.
bmcfluff 8 Nov, 2018 @ 4:57pm 
Thanks for fixing this! +1 best responsive dev ever :)

(My frame rate is usually around 30, both in Query and the main game.)
price  [author] 8 Nov, 2018 @ 1:28pm 
@bmcfluff This seems to be a bug that appears on a lower frame rate. The map has been updated again. I tested out the new plasma wall activation time on 15 fps and it should work consistently. Also, is your frame rate in Query similar to the frame rate in the Talos campaign?
bmcfluff 8 Nov, 2018 @ 10:53am 
Thanks! Unrelatedly, in the second tutorial, I have a problem that
when I set up what I think is the correct solution, i.e. connector on box on ball, the timing seems to be exact down to a single frame, and on my computer it usually doesn't work until after the ball has bounced back and forth several times. I tried to get a video for you, but the video software hogged enough CPU that even worse glitches started happening :( I don't know if anyone else has this problem, but I think you could fix it by shaving a few milliseconds off the time that it takes the first plasma wall to open?
price  [author] 8 Nov, 2018 @ 3:31am 
I updated the map and added checkpoints for each section of the main puzzle and the intro puzzles. This also includes the activation of the plasma wall that is blocking the first star in the switch room. Let me know if something isn't working correctly.
bmcfluff 7 Nov, 2018 @ 8:57pm 
There's some interesting stuff here, but I find the lack of checkpoints annoying.

barrymead! thanks for trying to help. I did but it was not work. I did unsubscribe then Steam, Library, The Talos Principle. Then Right Click on "The Talos Principle" and click on "Properties". Then select the "Local Files" tab and click on "Verify Integrity of Game Files". Then I did subscribe and nothing again. I subscribe maps another game. It work. A problem only with The Talos Principle. This is terrible. I LOVE this game. The Talos Principle is best game what I play.:steamsad:
barrymead 3 Oct, 2018 @ 7:13pm 
Click on Steam, Library, The Talos Principle. Then Right Click on "The Talos Principle" and click on "Properties". Then select the "Local Files" tab and click on "Verify Integrity of Game Files".
This will clean up any corruption of the game files and things should start working again.

I did unsubscribe all maps then I went to disk C/Program Files(x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/ and there no The Tolos Principle. Then I went to disk D/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/The Tolos Principle/Temp and there nothing... any files...empty. Then I did subscribe some maps, run The Tolos Principle and any maps is not loading. Console said error again:steambored:
price  [author] 2 Oct, 2018 @ 6:22am 
@Мартиша Адамс Try unsubscribing from all maps again and then go into steamapps\common\The Talos Principle\Temp\Workshop\number\Subscribed and check if there are any files left in there. If there are, delete them and try to subscribe and load a map after that.

Yes I have same error message when I open the console. And I do not have any maps but I did subscribe some maps in workshop yesterday again.I do not know what I need to do. I did not finish to play in some last maps. I am very sad!

@Мартиша Адамс Do you still get the same error message when you open the console?
В сети 1 Oct, 2018 @ 11:46am 
I tried both. Now the situation is worse.
I did unsubscribe all maps. And now when I do subscribe for some map (not yours) its not load. ANY MAPS IS NOT LOAD!
price  [author] 1 Oct, 2018 @ 11:31am 
@Мартиша Адамс Read the "Workshop breakage" thread that I linked you in my last comment, it explains why you can't load any levels. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/app/257510/discussions/0/1734336452583209317/

There's also a solution that Barrymead and ma.hirsch posted in the comments of the Workshop breakage thread:

1. Select LIBRARY->Games
2. Click on The Talos Principle
3. Click on "Browse the workshop".
4. Hover your mouse over "Your files" on the right-hand side of the screen and click on "Subscribed items".
5. Scroll through the list until you find the map that was removed from the workshop and unsubscribe from the map. You can also try to "Unsubscribe From All" if you cannot find the map.

After the deleted workshop item is removed from your subscribed list the workshop will work again without the "Workshop Update Error".

After that try subscribing to a map and opening it.

Have you tried that solution as well?

Now when I to subscribe maps, Unable to load level for all maps. It is nightmare. I can not play any maps! Why?

The following video link shows how to solve the latest version of Query which includes two new tutorials that teach how to use buzzers with purple barriers in creative ways. The video demonstrates how to collect the sigil and both stars.

price: The latest update seems to work great. Thanks for the added content.
price  [author] 21 Aug, 2018 @ 4:39pm 
Query has been updated! I added a tutorial level and placed a star in the switch room so players don't confuse the switch puzzle as being a part of the sigil puzzle. Let me know if something is broken.
barrymead 23 Jul, 2018 @ 12:41am 
price: While I haven't solved it that way yet, I'm guessing that the faster solutions make use of the fact that dropping items down from the tower or walkway areas is faster than carrying them up there, so the recording/playback scenarios have to be re-organized to utilize that time advantage. I can see how it would be faster to do it that way, yet somewhat less intuitive.
price  [author] 22 Jul, 2018 @ 6:57am 
@barrymead I might do it in the future. I would rather leave it to the players to explore and discover for themselves only if they want to, especially since the current version of the puzzle leaves in the more open-ended variations of the solutions (and quite frankly, it just plays and feels better to solve).

However, the general idea of the optimized solutions is the same as the solutions that you uploaded, but it uses the puzzle elements in different and more efficient ways. There aren't any weird tricks involved.
barrymead 21 Jul, 2018 @ 11:58pm 
price: Have you considered posting a video link to your "Optimized Time" preferred solution. I am not sure that anyone on the forum ever figured out the trick you had in mind for the best way to solve this puzzle where it can be done without hurrying or even using the shift key?
ylombardo 21 Jul, 2018 @ 5:15am 
@price & barrymead :
Thanks for the answers. Query works right with 5 minutes.
But if I subscribe to Query, everything else becomes with only 1 minute.
I need to unsubscribe to Query to recover 5 minutes for the others..

Let's go with that.
barrymead 21 Jul, 2018 @ 2:22am 
ylombardo: In my experience with using the game and workshop maps, the steam workshop automatically updates/refreshes the game when updates are available every time you run The Talos Principle. Unless you have something very strange with your installation or internet connection you shouldn't have seen this bug at all. But since you do, unsubscibing from the Query map, running the game (with internet connected), then re-subscribing to Query and running the game again (with internet connected) should give you the latest version of Query which has the timer set to the normal 5 minutes.
price  [author] 20 Jul, 2018 @ 4:43pm 
@ylombardo That's strange, the custom recorder should be a separate entity and should not have any effect on the original recorder. I wasn't able to replicate this bug on my end. Also, the 1 minute recorder has been set back to 5 minutes in the last update.

In any case, thanks for letting me know. A reinstall of Talos should reset the recorder back to normal.
ylombardo 20 Jul, 2018 @ 1:09pm 
@price :
Your DLC creates a bug on my computer. Talos and all others DLC run with only one minute for the recorder.
