Quest Fixes & Steam Invites

Hey survivors!

The cold isn't the only thing that's been stopping you out there. Some of you have found quests frozen in place, especially when steps are done in a different order or items get picked up early. We're following your tracks through the story to see where things break, and we're digging these blockers out one by one. This hotfix clears some of the most reported ones, and Steam invites finally work as long as the joining player is already in the main menu, so nobody has to brave the wasteland alone. Thanks for every report you've sent our way!

Quests

• Fixed Hopes and Dreams not completing. If you picked up the glitched recording before this hotfix, your save may still be stuck. We're working on a fix for those saves in our next patch
• High Frequency can now be completed while Hopes and Dreams is still active
• Lost a quest key? If it's missing from both your inventory and the reward chest, talk to Anna or Skinwalker and they'll give you a new one. This helps with Breaking the Radio Silence, The Way Home and Rise Above the Cold

Multiplayer

• Invites are working now. Both "Join Game" from the Steam friends list and Steam chat invites work, provided the joining player has already launched the game and is in the main menu

UI

• Fixed the quest tracker not updating after changing the language
• Pinning crafting recipes now works correctly

Localization

• Fixed Chinese text appearing bold or oversized in some places
• Cold Resistance in the inventory is now translated
• The time unit in building and cooking progress bars is now translated

Stability

• Fixed a crash related to workbench crafting
• Improved building preview visuals

There's more ice to break, and we're on it. Check the Known Issues list for current workarounds.

Stay warm out there!
