Hello Community,
We have just updated THE LONG DARK to:
Survival: 2.52 179852
Episode Five: 2.52 180269
WINTERMUTE: 2.22 180167
This is a Major Update to THE LONG DARK: WINTERMUTE, introducing Episode Five and completing Story Mode.
Spoilers Ahead!
The team is currently aware of the following issues in the game. If you encounter one of these issues, there is no need to report it to the Support Portal.
During the SAR Mission, if a player enters a Trailer, they will be unable to leave. Reloading a previous save will be the only way to proceed.
Story save files from before 2023 (prior to the Survival/Story application split) will not appear in the Episode Five executable. These files will only be visible from the Episode 1-4 executable. This can be accessed by starting a new Episode 1-4 game and then quitting at your earliest convenience.
PlayStation players that load the autosave after the Atwood story cinematic and then open their Journal will encounter a consistent crash.
PlayStation 4 players will find Jace’s dream cinematic plays with no visuals if they play without loading or restarting the game from the start of Episode Five until that point.
This Update includes fixes for the following issues:
CRASHES
PS5/PS4 - Fixed an issue that could cause a crash when accessing the Survivor inventory.
PS5/PS4 - Fixed an issue that could cause a crash when transitioning Regions with a Travois.
PS4 - Fixed an issue that could cause a crash when dropping a gear item to the ground near open water.
PC/Xbox App - Fixed an issue that could result in an indefinite loading screen when launching the application.
Please visit our Support Portal if you encounter any issues while playing the game.
