SCUM Hotfix 1.3.3.4 Reapplies Quest Progress Fix for Some Players

The build checks whether the previous fix was applied correctly and restores existing progress without deleting or reverting it.

SCUM Hotfix 1.3.3.4.149664 addresses a quest progress problem that survived the previous hotfix. Some players continued to have trouble loading progress because the earlier fix did not apply correctly, and the new build checks that result before applying the correction again.

Gamepires said existing quest progress was not deleted or reverted. Progress made while the issue was active should load again, allowing affected players to continue from where they left off. The hotfix follows SCUM Hotfix 1.3.3.3, which was meant to solve the same loading issue.

Gamepires detailed the correction in its Steam announcement.

SCUM Hotfix 1.3.3.4.149664 Patch Notes

The notes explain why another pass was needed and confirm that existing quest progress, including progress made while the issue was active, remains intact.

Prisoners!

Our previous hotfix was intended to fix an issue preventing quest progress from loading correctly, but it did not apply correctly for some players who continued progressing their quests while the issue was active.

We know it’s frustrating to need another hotfix for the same issue. We’re sorry this wasn’t resolved earlier.

No quest progress has been deleted or reverted. The game will now check whether the previous fix was applied correctly and reapply it where needed. All existing progress, including progress made while the issue was active, will then load correctly, allowing affected players to continue from where they left off.

Thank you for your patience and for continuing to report the issue.

As always, if you encounter anything else that requires our attention, please let us know through one of the following channels:

See you on the Island, prisoners.
