A new update has arrived for the game, bringing essential fixes that should make your sessions much smoother. Most notably, the development team has resolved the persistent issue where the game would freeze upon arriving at map 2 or any subsequent maps. This fix should eliminate the frustration of losing progress during transitions between areas, providing a more reliable experience for all players.

Performance and Co-op Enhancements

Beyond the stability fixes, this patch introduces an engine update specifically designed to boost graphics performance. If you have been playing on a lower-end GPU or a laptop, you should notice a more consistent frame rate and better overall responsiveness. These technical adjustments are part of a broader effort to ensure the game runs well across a wider range of hardware configurations.

The co-op experience at the campfire has also received a significant overhaul to make interactions feel more intuitive. The developers have removed the manual Ready button from the campfire interface, simplifying the process of getting your group moving. Additionally, campfire stations are now restricted to only open for the player currently standing at them, which prevents accidental menu interference during busy moments.

Synchronized Rewards and Portal Effects

Co-op play is further refined through better synchronization between hosts and guests. When picking up an hourglass, reward amounts for guests now correctly match the host's totals, ensuring everyone receives the intended payout. Furthermore, the guest portal speed surge duration is now perfectly synchronized with the breathing room, creating a more cohesive experience for players working together.

  • Map Stability: The game no longer freezes when arriving on map 2 or later maps.
  • Graphics: Engine update provides graphics performance improvements for lower-end GPUs and laptops.
  • Campfire UI: The Ready button has been removed from the campfire interface.
  • Interaction Logic: Campfire stations now only open for the player standing at them.
  • Reward Parity: Reward amounts for guests now match the host's after picking up an hourglass.
  • Portal Timing: Guest portal speed surge duration is synchronized with the breathing room.

These changes are live now on PC. By addressing these specific pain points, the update aims to provide a more polished and fair environment for both solo explorers and co-op teams alike.
