Officially acknowledged

1.13.2 known issue: Spillway penances name the wrong difficulty

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

Fatshark’s 1.13.2 Known Issues list says new Spillway penances mention finishing Damnation missions on the Auric mission board when they should say Auric difficulty. The same list mentions the removed Sedition difficulty. These are acknowledged wording defects; no fix or alternative completion route is established by that list. [1]

The second penance wording problem is a reference to a difficulty that no longer exists. [1]

Resolved

1.13.2: some sign-ins produced Backend Error

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

The hotfix updates the networking library to resolve a Backend Error affecting some players on sign-in. The publisher scopes the defect to those sign-ins and does not say that every Backend Error has a single cause. [1]

Resolved

1.13.2: lag spikes occasionally caused a crash

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

Fatshark also fixes an occasional crash caused by lag spikes during gameplay. The note describes the crash correction, without claiming that the underlying network latency is eliminated. [1]

Resolved

1.13.2: Psyker auras calculated cooldowns incorrectly

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

The hotfix fixes The Quickening and Seer’s Presence auras calculating Ability Cooldowns incorrectly and unintentionally increasing Ability Charges. This is a named aura interaction, not evidence that every cooldown discrepancy is repaired. [1]

Resolved

1.13.2: Spillway’s first elevator could crash

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

The hotfix fixes a rare crash during the first elevator ride in Spillway. A separate entry fixes rare crashes when hotjoining during the boss fight at the end of the same mission. Preserve the phase and join state when identifying which published correction matches a report. [1]

The boss-end hotjoin crash is listed separately from the elevator ride. [1]
