We have just updated THE LONG DARK to version 2.26, build 126828.
This is a Hotfix to THE LONG DARK and THE LONG DARK: SURVIVAL EDITION and contains fixes for issues introduced with our Part Four release.
**Spoilers Below**
Known Issues
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.
- When starting a new Custom Survival game, Scurvy will be active if ‘Start Gear Load Out’ is set to anything but ‘Very High’.
- When switching to a fresh Canister with the Respirator and a lit light source equipped, the light source will temporarily extinguish.
- When placed in areas with steep inclines, the Travois can fall under the ground layer and become unreachable after the player transitions to or from an interior.
- Players will be unable to transfer stacks of items to a Container if the stack weighs more than the remaining capacity of the Container.
- Sometimes players will be unable to equip the Respirator from their Backpack. The Respirator can still be equipped through the Radial Menu, under the “First Aid” option.
