Peak has just released Hotfix 1.9.a, which addresses a frustrating issue where players could become stuck in an immobile state after passing out. This update also addresses some backpack issues that have been causing headaches for players, particularly in Offline Mode. If you’ve been running into these bugs, this patch should help smooth things out a bit.
Hotfix 1.9.a Patch Notes
- Fixed an issue where reducing your status on the same frame you passed out could put the player in an immobile state forever. This already existed before the last patch, but changes made to dropping items when falling unconscious made it occur much more regularly.
- Added a failsafe that will return a dropped backpack to its original position if it moves too far away too quickly (unless thrown). Also attempted to improve backpack stability generally.
- It’s time to take drastic measures on this backpack. Hopefully this helps – trust me, this is pissing us off just as much as it is you.
- Fixed an issue where backpacks could disappear after a lengthy pause in Offline Mode.
- Undid a change to Fullscreen Windowed mode.
- Fixed an issue where backpack UI wouldn’t respond to pressing the button to hold your backpack.
- Using a Scout Effigy will now count towards completion of the Clutch Badge.
Have you encountered these problems with backpacks or experienced being stuck unconscious? I’m curious if this patch will put an end to those annoying moments for you. It’s kinda impressive how something small like item weight changes could cause such a hassle, right? If you’d like to share your experiences or thoughts, please leave a comment below. I love hearing from you all!
