PC
Officially acknowledged

Rot and Ruin test progress may not carry over

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

The Rot and Ruin 0.6.0 announcement is for the public test build. Its progress may or may not carry over, and the developer explicitly warns about the risk of testing unfinished features. Do not treat test-only problems as confirmed live-branch problems. [3]

Resolved

Steam players cannot connect across Download Regions

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

Hotfix 0.5.1.1 resolves a Steam multiplayer connection failure tied to Download Region. This is an official fix for the region-dependent connection problem, rather than a requirement to change the region as a permanent workaround. [1]

Documented workaround

The live patch has not appeared yet

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

The developer says patch distribution can take time and recommends restarting if the update does not appear. This is an update-availability check, not a cure for every multiplayer failure. [2]

Documented steps

  1. Restart if the announced update is not visible, then check the client version before comparing symptoms with its fixes. [2]
Resolved

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

Resolved

Cannot open The Abyss hatch in Creative

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

Patch 0.5.1 fixes the Abyss hatch being impossible to open in Creative mode. The Diving Suit is no longer required for that Creative-mode interaction. [2]
