Known Issues

Combat

  • NPCs can teleport towards the player while affected by Ironroot Grasp or Netfall.

Crafting / Building / Gathering

  • Some crafting stations and processing crafters have excessively slow loading and interaction times.
  • Targeting stacked or packed containers has become unreliable, and nearby objects can block interaction.
  • No warning message is displayed when Homesteader attempts to destroy construction pieces.
  • The new animation, when dropping an item from the inventory, interrupts mining and chopping.
  • The silver bracelet loses durability when not used.

Animation / Visuals / Sounds

  • The Cinematic and Epic settings for Streaming Distance can cause severe performance issues in dungeons. We recommend setting Streaming Distance to High before entering a dungeon.
  • There is a known issue with the Anti-Aliasing and Super Resolution selection. If you change the mode (DLSS, FSR, TSR) in the Graphics settings, you need to restart the game for the change to take effect.
  • Bonfires and the new Pyre have very low audio.
  • Healing staves have no sound effect when shooting.
  • Battle Axe, Great Mace, and Greatsword models pass through the player's head when block is released.

Achievements

  • The Join a Clan Achievement is currently not retroactive. The (cheesy) workaround is to create a second character on the same account and create/join a Clan with that character.
  • The Ornithologist Achievement cannot currently be completed because the Sooty Grouse (Spruce Grouse) is missing from the game.
