The Long Dark Updated to version 2.51

[p]Hello Community,[/p][p]We have just updated THE LONG DARK to version 2.51, build 170901.[/p][p][/p][p]This is a Hotfix to THE LONG DARK and THE LONG DARK: SURVIVAL MODE and contains multiple bug fixes.[/p][p]
Known Issues[/p][p]The team is currently aware of the following issues in the game. If you encounter one of these issues, there is no need to report it to the Support Portal. [/p]
  • [p]MacOS and Linux - Please note that we have temporarily disabled Additional Shadows for Structures and Terrain to address an engine level visual bug. We are working to fix the problem and will re-enable this visual enhancement as soon as possible. This impacts both MacOS and Linux versions of the game.[/p]
  • [p]In some rare cases when launching the game while using HDR, the display may appear completely black. This is caused by brightness somehow being set to 0. Using a non HDR display and setting the brightness to a higher value before swapping back is the only workaround for the time being.[/p]
[p][/p][p]Bug Fixes[/p][p]This Hotfix includes fixes for the following issues:[/p][p][/p][p]
GAMEPLAY, UI, CONTROLS[/p]
  • [p]Critical - Fixed an issue that could cause a loss of profile progress (Badges and Feats), or result in intermittent notifications stating a player's profile failed to load when starting the game.[/p]
  • [p]Fixed an issue that allowed players to bypass the material requirements to repair structures via Safehouse Customization.[/p]
  • [p]Fixed an issue that prevented the Cougar from spawning on save files where it was enabled at a point after first generating the save. Unfortunately, this will not resolve the issue for saves currently experiencing this issue.[/p]
  • [p]Fixed an issue that prevented the Improvised Knife, Improvised Hatchet, Survival Knife and Cougar Claw Knife from being used for in-game actions such as Harvesting, opening Canned Food, or Breaking Ice where they could previously be.[/p][p][/p]
