For a game that emphasizes the vast, brutal scale of the continent of Pywel, losing access to your mount is more than a minor inconvenience—it is a death sentence. Whether you were trying to outrun a Black Bear ambush or simply navigating the long stretches between Greymane outposts, the reliability of the summoning system is core to the gameplay loop. Before this hotfix, players reported that even after assigning their horses or unique mounts to the Quick Slot, the UI would remain empty or the summoning animation would fail to trigger.
This fix comes at a vital time as players are currently exploring the massive world following the game's recent launch. In the harsh landscape where Kliff is fighting to reunite his scattered comrades, mobility is your greatest asset. While the patch notes are focused primarily on this summoning fix, the speed of the deployment suggests Pearl Abyss is prioritizing game-breaking friction points that hinder exploration and the overall flow of the action.
If you have been trekking across the continent on foot because your stable was locked behind a UI bug, make sure your client is updated to the latest version. With the Quick Slot functionality restored, you can get back to the real work of rebuilding the Greymanes and uncovering the mysteries of Pywel without the unnecessary cardio.
