Full game patches

All three launch patches arrived within 48 hours of each other. If you play on Steam, the client installs them automatically; 1.01.03 is the build every guide on this site describes.

v1.01.03 1 November 2026

Version 1.01.03 patch

Patch Full game 5 changes
Official patch notes
  1. Adjusted the ground wave projectile hit box again so it hits more reliably.
  2. Fixed XP and resource generation on the hempie SVT.
  3. Fixed regeneration on the b33 punch.
  4. Stability improvements.
  5. Fixed the death animation bug for Dagoom the Sea King.
What it means for you

The current build. The developers redid the ground wave hit box fix from 1.01.02 and finished the Dagoom fixes with his death animation.

v1.01.02 31 October 2026

Version 1.01.02 patch

Patch Full game 6 changes
Official patch notes
  1. Added a DirectX 12 launch option.
  2. Fixed Dagoom the Sea King dying while spinning.
  3. Fixed a few spots where you could get stuck.
  4. Adjusted the hit box on ground wave projectiles so they hit more reliably.
  5. Fixed accessory stats when loading a saved game.
  6. Fixed the boss fight trigger for Black Skeletal Witch Husipo.
What it means for you

Released the same day as 1.01.01. It fixes two boss encounters: Dagoom's death during his spin attack, and Husipo's fight not starting. PC players also get a DirectX 12 option when launching through Steam.

Followed byv1.01.03
v1.01.01 31 October 2026

Version 1.01.01 patch

Patch Full game 6 changes
Official patch notes
  1. Fixed a soft lock in the Pit of Despair.
  2. Fixed a freeze when weapons evolve.
  3. Fixed the Executioner door getting stuck.
  4. Fixed a freeze bug with the Mimic.
  5. Restored missing water return pits around Neasied.
  6. Star Lizard bags no longer get stuck in mid air when they drop.
What it means for you

The first launch-day fix targets progress blockers. If an evolving weapon froze your game, or a Mimic fight hung, update before trying again; the Executioner door and Pit of Despair soft locks are also gone.

Followed byv1.01.02

Demo hotfixes

The demo went live on 4 December 2025 alongside the full reveal at the PC Gaming Show. Its three hotfixes landed over the following five days and fixed combat-feel, water and controller problems.

v1.0.3 9 December 2025

Demo 1.0.3 hotfix

Hotfix Demo 5 changes
Official patch notes
  1. Fixed language selection when using a controller.
  2. Lowered the minimum brightness value so menus can no longer become impossible to see.
  3. Holding the run key in the air no longer drains stamina.
  4. Life point regeneration abilities now clear the low life point screen effect.
  5. Minimum damage on hit now matches the power bar.
What it means for you

Two combat changes stand out: jumping while holding run stopped wasting stamina, and the smallest hit you can land now matches what the power bar shows.

v1.0.2 7 December 2025

Demo 1.0.2 hotfix

Hotfix Demo 3 changes
Official patch notes
  1. Fixed a rare bug where you could get stuck on some object collisions.
  2. Falling into water no longer returns you to the wrong position.
  3. Cleaned up input handling for chargeable secondary attacks.
What it means for you

Charged secondary attacks respond more reliably after this hotfix, which matters for secondary weapons you hold to charge.

Followed byv1.0.3
v1.0.1 5 December 2025

Demo version 1.0.1 hotfix

Hotfix Demo 7 changes
Official patch notes
  1. Enemies killed before you died now respawn correctly when you continue.
  2. Possible fixes for crash bugs the team could not reproduce, based on submitted crash logs.
  3. Fixed a rounding error in the life point display.
  4. Fixed a typo in the Roasted Ojum Lizard item description.
  5. Fixed sprint sticking on after falling into water.
  6. Bestiary descriptions can now be scrolled with a controller.
  7. The Life Charm life point bonus is now applied when you load a saved game.
What it means for you

The one to know about is the Life Charm fix: before it, loading a save dropped the extra life points the charm grants.
