The October 2025 Unity update applies to The Forest VR
Endnight’s October 3, 2025 announcement says it updated UnityPlayer.dll for The Forest VR in response to the linked Unity engine security issue. It explicitly says the base version of The Forest and its dedicated server are not affected. Preserve that distinction when checking which installation the small update belongs to. [1]
Loading freezes corrected in 1.11b
The v1.11 announcement’s 1.11b edit lists a fix for some players freezing while loading new or saved games after the latest patch. The same release says a dedicated server must restart with the latest version for compatibility. This is historical patch guidance, rather than a claim that a modern loading failure has been diagnosed. [1]
Dedicated servers are not compatible with Oxide
The 1.08 announcement warns that The Forest dedicated servers are not compatible with Oxide. It says the game may not function correctly if it is installed by the owner or hosting company. This is an explicit compatibility warning, without a supported Oxide configuration in the cited source. [1]
The structure-saving correction does not restore vanished items
Hotfix 0.59b corrects structures vanishing on loading, but Endnight explicitly says the correction is not retroactive. Rebuilt affected items are protected from that specific defect; the note does not promise to recover structures already missing from the save. [1]
