We’re rolling out a patch today to address a few reported issues following our recent Update 1.4.0 release (also called the Test of Time update). This patch focuses on smoothing out controller navigation, fixing a couple of specific crashes, and making sure the endgame screens behave themselves, among a few other fixes.
A note for Switch players: This patch will be coming at a later date than May 28. Thank you for hanging in with us while we work to get this patch through the additional Switch submission requirements. In the meantime, the current console-compatible Switch version remains available with full crossplay support with Steam (instructions on how to access here.
Before you jump in, we have an important note for PC players regarding mods:
We’ve noticed a lot of players running into stability issues without realizing they have broken or outdated mods active. To help get everyone on a clean slate, this patch will do a one-time reset to disable all active mods.
We highly recommend giving our amazing modding community a little time to update their work for 1.4.0 before you go toggling things back on manually.
Using a mod that has already been updated and is stable in Test of Time? You can simply re-enable these mods a single time by navigating to "Add-ons" in the Main Menu. Browse your list of installed mods and toggle on the ones you want to play with.
Additionally, we also recommend ensuring your graphics drivers are up-to-date and to double check our Minimum System Requirements for the best experience with Update 1.4.0.
Thank you to our players and mod creators for their patience. Check out the full patch notes below!
