KNOWN ISSUES AND TECHNICAL FAQ - TALES FROM THE FAR TERRITORY
Please note that this list is not exhaustive. However, if you encounter issues and do not see your concern listed, please reach out to us via the Support Portal.

TELEPORTING WHEN TRANSITIONING TO OR FROM A CAVE ON SURVIVAL
Some players are reporting that, upon entering or exiting a cave, they may be teleported to a new location. Occasionally, upon teleportation to a random new location, their backpack is also reset.

We released a potential fix on December 20th. If you are still encountering this issue, please reach out to us via the Support Portal. Thank you for your patience.

AUTOWALK NO LONGER WORKS
Some players may have found their settings changed after updating, which deactivates the Autowalk setting.

To re-enable this setting, please visit Options > Accessibility > Autowalk > Enable, and verify that the Autowalk key binding is set correctly under Options > Key Bindings.

PREVIOUS SURVIVAL AND CHALLENGE SAVES HAVE BECOME INACCESSIBLE
As a reminder, previous Survival saves WILL NOT work with the game once it has been updated. This is true even if a player does not purchase the Expansion Pass. Players can, however, continue to use current Save Games on an older version of THE LONG DARK on Steam, using the Time Capsule feature.

Please note that since the Time Capsule uses an older version of THE LONG DARK, you won't have access to any of the new content or enhancements that are going into both the Base Game, and the Expansion Pass.

For more information, please visit the latest Dev Diary and the Expansion Pass FAQ.

MAC BUILD ERROR MESSAGE
Unfortunately, we have encountered an issue with the Unity engine that impacts only the Mac build of THE LONG DARK, however, we will do everything we can to ensure that the update is available on Mac as soon as possible.

For more information on the Mac build, please visit our recent post.

THE LONG DARK DOES NOT DISPLAY ON MULTIPLE MONITOR SETUPS
Following the Update, when a player with multiple displays attempts to launch The Long Dark, the application will only display on a single monitor, regardless of the Display Number setting in THE LONG DARK, or the primary monitor setting in Windows/Nvidia Control Panel.

As a temporary solution:

1. Open the game .exe directly from your Install folder
2. From your Display settings, update the display to "Window Mode"
3. Close the game and re-open the game .exe again
4. ALT+TAB and drag the window to your desired display
5. Close and re-open THE LONG DARK
6. Change "Display Settings" back to "Full Screen"
7. Close and re-start the game from your Steam Library

We will continue to work on this issue and we will provide more information as soon as it is available.
