The most critical fix in this patch involves the Deck of Cards. Players using this item recently reported game-breaking crashes that could cut a survival run short. Klei has successfully patched the logic error causing these instances, ensuring that your tabletop games in the wilderness no longer lead to a desktop crash.
For those who keep an eye on the competitive or technical side of the game, this hotfix also addresses a networking exploit related to client-side galloping. This exploit allowed for movement inconsistencies that didn't align with the game's intended physics, and its removal helps maintain the integrity of multiplayer sessions. In a game where every second of movement matters when kiting bosses, keeping the playing field level is essential.
Finally, the developers have corrected an issue where world settings were not properly influencing the spawn rates of Nightmare Light and Nightmare Fissure creatures. If you felt like your custom world settings for shadow threats were being ignored, this fix restores that control, allowing you to properly tune the difficulty of your subterranean explorations. These adjustments ensure that the horrors of the ruins behave exactly as the host intended.
