SCUM Hotfix 1.3.3.2.148381 Fixes Server Access and TEC1 Loot Problems
The patch fixes server-join failures, TEC1 Research Facility loot problems, and nutrient absorption while the server browser still has a known issue.
SCUM Hotfix 1.3.3.2.148381 is now available with another round of fixes for the August update. The patch addresses crashes, a server-join error, TEC1 Research Facility loot problems, and an exploit that could give players unlimited stamina.
This is the second hotfix following the August update, which added the underground facilities and mutant bears to the Island. It follows Hotfix 1.3.3.1, which focused on crashes, Apex Hunt progress, and other problems tied to the same content drop.
Food and metabolism also received a broad adjustment. Nutrient absorption is now higher for proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals while the team continues reviewing feedback about the system.
One server issue remains active. Some servers may still be missing from the in-game browser, although players can join affected servers by entering their IP address manually. Gamepires published the complete changes in its Steam hotfix announcement.
SCUM Hotfix 1.3.3.2.148381 Patch Notes
The update combines stability fixes with changes to online access, food absorption, loot spawning, and the TEC1 Research Facilities. The full notes also document the remaining server browser problem.
CRASHES & EXPLOITS
- Fixed crashes that could occur when enabling DEENA’s dialogue or starting the game.
- Fixed an exploit that allowed players to gain infinite stamina by repeatedly using the Sit emote.
SERVER CONNECTIVITY & ONLINE SERVICES
- Fixed an issue that could prevent players from joining a server.
- Players should now be able to access previously earned Twitch Drops and receive new Drops as normal. We’ve implemented a temporary backend solution while work continues on a permanent fix.
FOOD & METABOLISM
- Increased the rate at which the body absorbs nutrients from all food, including proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals.
TEC1 RESEARCH FACILITY
- Fixed an issue where placing a flag near a Research Facility could prevent its loot from respawning.
- Fixed the Mutant Bear jittering or behaving erratically when attempting to reach players in elevated positions.
- Fixed the blast door alarm continuing to play after repeatedly interacting with the door across multiple facility runs.
- Fixed weapon lockers in Research Facilities occasionally spawning empty.
LOOT & ITEM SPAWNING
- Fixed the Force Lock interaction pushing players beneath the map.
- Fixed Keycard spawns not respecting the limits set in the server settings.
KNOWN ISSUES
- Server Browser: Some servers may not appear when browsing or searching for them in-game. Affected servers can still be joined by manually entering their IP address. We’re working on a fix and will let you know once the issue has been resolved.
