1.0.6: Challenge Mode would not start, finish or reset

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

Challenge Mode fixes cover challenges that failed to start, finish or reset, and user-created challenges that could not be completed. These are distinct from an unfinished objective in an otherwise functioning challenge. [1]

The same release repairs saving and loading custom challenges. [1]

Resolved

Resolved

1.0.6: The Stench quest could softlock

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

The patch lists a fix for a softlock in The Stench quest and a separate fix for blocked progression in the end quest. It does not supply a manual quest-state edit. [1]

Resolved

1.0.6: some saves crashed while loading

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked
