Hello Community,

We have just released our Survival v2.44 (157357) and WINTERMUTE v2.14 (157355) Hotfix for THE LONG DARK (including Survival Edition) and TALES FROM THE FAR TERRITORY.

DISAPPEARING TRAVOIS

We've been able to identify some cases that would cause the Travois to disappear after transitioning to and from a scene, and addressed the cause. This means that we expect this problem to become drastically less common; however, we cannot be sure that we’ve completely resolved this. As such, we encourage players to reach out to our Support Portal if this issue persists for you. We greatly appreciate videos and descriptions of consistent, repeatable steps that would reproduce any issue you’ve encountered. The team is continuing to work to resolve the root cause of the disappearing Travois issue, and we will include further fixes in future hotfixes as they become available.

Known Issues

The team is currently aware of the following issues in the game. If you encounter one of these issues, there is no need to report it to the Support Portal. 

• There are edge-cases where Safehouse Decorations can disappear from an interior, container, or the player’s inventory. Items lost this way should now appear in Lost and Found boxes.

• Players with Texture Resolution lower than “Full” and Terrain Blending “Enabled” may see black outlines along certain terrain features. This can be resolved by ensuring that Texture Resolution is set to “Full” when utilizing the Terrain Blending Advanced Visual Option.

Bug Fixes

This Minor Update includes fixes for the following issues:

GAMEPLAY, UI, CONTROLS

• Fixed a subset of cases that could result in the Travois despawning and being placed in a nearby Lost and Found Box.

• Fixed an issue at Trapper's Cabin where items could become lost under the snow due to the recently adjusted terrain.

• Fixed an issue where the "Framerate Cap" slider would not remain at the desired setting, nor obey the value set.

• Fixed an issue that resulted in quartered animal bags disappearing after Harvesting a portion of meat from them.

• Fixed an issue in WINTERMUTE Episodes Three and Four that resulted in mistimed subtitles during the recap videos.

• Fixed an issue that prevented WINTERMUTE saves from being renamed.

ART & ENVIRONMENTS

• Fixed an issue in Sundered Pass that resulted in some areas displaying noticeably darkened sections with "Additional Shadows - Structures" enabled.
