The Long Dark update for 23 August 2022

Hello Community,

UPDATE (09/07/22): We have released a hotfix to resolve a bug that prevents players from receiving a phone call from Molly at the end of "Aftermath" in Episode Three, which impacts mission progress. Please note that it may take time to update across all platforms. Thank you for your patience as we worked on this issue.

NOTE: _We are still receiving reports that the Brightness Slider is not working on PS4/PS5. We are investigating this complex issue and will provide more information as soon as it is available.

Thank you for your patience._

We just released our v2.02 (99904) Quality of Life Update for The Long Dark. This update includes some significant bug fixes, along with game and performance improvements.

Thank you for your patience and support. We look forward to sharing more information about future updates and other exciting news about The Long Dark in a Dev Diary toward the end of September.
