Version 2.50

Hotfix

THE LONG DARK - UNITY 6 UPDATE (SURVIVAL/TALES v 2.50, WINTERMUTE v 2.20)

Steam, Epic Games Store, Xbox, and PlayStation

Hello players,

We have just updated THE LONG DARK to version 2.50, build 169730.

This is a Hotfix to THE LONG DARK and THE LONG DARK: SURVIVAL MODE containing bug fixes, as well as an upgrade to a major new version of Unity, in anticipation of the Episode Five launch on March 31st, 2026. Episode Five depends on Unity 6, so this pre-launch release will provide time to prove and stabilize the game on the new engine version before the launch.

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.

MacOS - Please note that we have temporarily disabled Additional Shadows for Structures and Terrain to address an engine level visual bug. We are working to fix the problem and will re-enable this visual enhancement as soon as possible. This only impacts the MacOS version of the game.
Playstation 5 - Sometimes during Episode One and Three, a player may encounter a persistent crash in specific locations. Some players find that restarting their console can allow them to proceed past the crash. We are actively attempting to diagnose the cause of this issue.
In some rare cases when launching the game while using HDR, the display may appear completely black. This is caused by brightness somehow being set to 0. Using a non HDR display and setting the brightness to a higher value before swapping back is the only workaround for the time being.

Bug Fixes

This Hotfix includes fixes for the following issues:

CRASHES

Mac - Fixed an issue that could cause a crash when exiting to the desktop from WINTERMUTE.

GAMEPLAY, UI, CONTROLS

Fixed an issue that incorrectly allowed items to cure while in containers, resulting in them sometimes going missing once they became cured.
Fixed an issue that rarely caused saved game files to become corrupted when exiting a Prepper Cache.
Fixed an issue that resulted in stronger than intended player stagger while in the Near Death state. This fix should reduce the amount of camera animation swaying during the low-condition phase.
Fixed an issue that could cause the game to soft-lock when loading a file that was saved while traversing with a Travois. Players should find they recover from this broken state gracefully upon loading the affected save file.
Fixed an issue that could cause the game to soft-lock when attempting to sleep at a point that the Trader Radio was queued to interrupt sleep, resulting in a black screen.
Fixed an issue that could cause the game to soft-lock when a player attempted a Rope Climb with no Stamina, resulting in the player becoming stuck on the rope.
Fixed an issue that could cause a soft-lock if a Lantern ran out of fuel while being lit, resulting in a state where the player could move, but not interact with anything.
Fixed a rare issue where retrieving a Manufactured Arrow from a Carcass could result in a Simple Arrow being added to the player's Backpack instead.
Fixed an issue where Transmitters were shown in the Journal->Collections tab even when the Tales From the Far Territory DLC was not installed.
Fixed an issue that allowed a player to carry the Travois into a Snow Shelter with them.
Fixed an issue that prevented the Cougar Claw Knife from being used as a Crafting Tool.

Hello Community,

We have released a Hotfix for Steam and Epic Games Store platforms **Edit: Xbox and PlayStation platforms are now updated as well**. Survival v2.44 (157357) and WINTERMUTE v2.14 (157355) for THE LONG DARK (including Survival Edition) and TALES FROM THE FAR TERRITORY.

DISAPPEARING TRAVOIS

We've been able to identify some cases that would cause the Travois to disappear after transitioning to and from a scene, and addressed the cause. This means that we expect this problem to become drastically less common; however, we cannot be sure that we’ve completely resolved this. As such, we encourage players to reach out to our Support Portal if this issue persists for you. We greatly appreciate videos and descriptions of consistent, repeatable steps that would reproduce any issue you’ve encountered. The team is continuing to work to resolve the root cause of the disappearing Travois issue, and we will include further fixes in future hotfixes as they become available.

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.

There are edge-cases where Safehouse Decorations can disappear from an interior, container, or the player’s inventory. Items lost this way should now appear in Lost and Found boxes.
Players with Texture Resolution lower than “Full” and Terrain Blending “Enabled” may see black outlines along certain terrain features. This can be resolved by ensuring that Texture Resolution is set to “Full” when utilizing the Terrain Blending Advanced Visual Option.

2.30 (Steam)

Hello players,

Over the past few days, we've heard your feedback loud and clear: you aren't happy with our implementation of the Cougar.

For now, we're taking the Cougar back, and will work on it until it's ready. I can't say for sure how long that will take, but it'll likely be more than a couple of weeks. We'll deliver a re-envisioned Cougar before we deliver Part Six of TALES.

Thanks to everyone who shared constructive feedback and impressions over the past few days. Your input is useful and highly valued. I hope you enjoy the other features in Part Five, until we bring the Cougar back to you.

Details from the Dev Team:

As a result of this, you will find the Cougar is no longer available in the game starting tomorrow (Friday) on Steam, and early next week on the consoles.
If you already have existing raw materials collected from killing Cougars, those items will remain in your inventory. You will still be able to craft the Cougar-related items, but you will not be able to find more Cougar materials to repair them. If you have unlocked the Cougar Feat, you will still be able to use it.

2.29 (Steam, Epic Games, Xbox, PlayStation)

We have just released our v2.29 (136986) Hotfix for THE LONG DARK (including Survival Edition) and TALES FROM THE FAR TERRITORY on Steam and Epic Games Store. Please note that WINTERMUTE’s version number has not changed. This Hotfix addresses multiple issues introduced in the v.2.28 update for TALES FROM THE FAR TERRITORY.

Fixed an issue where the time spent in a Region in a pre-existing save would count towards Cougar Threat, and prematurely trigger Cougar Encroaching.
Fixed an issue where players were not prompted to opt in/out of Cougar and Scurvy settings when loading a pre-existing save via the Resume button
- As part of this fix, the first time any save created prior to V2.29 is loaded, the prompt will appear, regardless of whether the player had received it on that save previously.
Fixed an issue where players were not prompted to opt in/out of Cougar and Scurvy settings when loading a pre-existing Custom Toolbox save.
- As part of this fix, upon loading any Custom Toolbox save, all players will be prompted to opt in/out of Cougar and Scurvy settings.
- Players who opt in to Cougar settings where none existed previously, will have Low Cougar Spawn Chance settings applied.
- Players who opt in to Scurvy settings will have their Vitamin-C Drain Rate determined by the Base Resource Availability setting of that save. (If Scurvy was set to “Off” during initial Custom Toolbox creation, opting in will not change that setting.)

2.09 & 2.10 (TFTFT Part Two: Signal Void)

Released March 30, 2023

Hello Survivors,

Today, we launched TALES FROM THE FAR TERRITORY Part One: Forsaken Airfield on PlayStation and Xbox, and Part Two: Signal Void on Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation, and Xbox.

TALES FROM THE FAR TERRITORY features the first paid content for THE LONG DARK, significantly adding to the world of Great Bear Island and the game's core Survival foundation. New Parts will be added regularly over the course of the 12-month Expansion Pass campaign, featuring new Regions, new Gameplay, and new objective-based Tales.

Each Part of TALES FROM THE FAR TERRITORY includes content that is exclusive to the Paid stream, plus free updates to Survival Mode.

PART ONE: FORSAKEN AIRFIELD

The following paid features and content were included in TALES FROM THE FAR TERRITORY, Part One: FORSAKEN AIRFIELD for Xbox and PlayStation:

Far Range Branch Line: This transition region connects from Broken Railroad, linking Broken Railroad to Transfer Pass.
Transfer Pass: This hub region provides access to Forsaken Airfield, and the two additional new Regions arriving later in the Expansion Pass campaign.
Forsaken Airfield Region: An abandoned airfield on a vast snowy plain. It includes the Hangar, Control Tower, Ranger’s Cabin, and other points of interest. Watch for the Aurora.
Tool Variants: Vaughan’s Rifle, Barb’s Rifle, Curator’s Rifle, Woodwright’s Bow, Spelunker’s Lantern: Modifications of the base Tools, with custom stats and cosmetics.

Glimmer Fog: Beware this phenomenon. It comes during the day, and getting stuck in it for too long will trigger the new Insomnia Affliction.
Insomnia Affliction: Too much time in the Glimmer Fog can affect your sleep patterns.

Please note that when you first start your adventures in the Far Territory, you cannot access the new regions or transitions from the World Map until you have first found them in the world. No shortcuts! They will become visible after they have been initially discovered.

PART ONE: FREE STREAM

Along with the contents of Part One for the paid Expansion Pass, the following free updates were applied to the base Survival game.

Complete Loot & Resource refresh: All loot tables have been updated, and the location of in-world spawned objects has been refreshed. The locations and amounts of all high-value Tools and Items have also been modified. Do not expect things to appear in the same place, or quantity, as you may have experienced them before, and also know that an element of randomness to loot spawns is present in any game. Interloper balance has been preserved in the loot refresh. (For more information please visit this post.)

Starting Spawn Points refresh: When you start a new Survival game, the locations you can potentially spawn in each region have been changed. Feel lost again.

Visor Notes (Mementos): Notes will occasionally spawn under car visors (and other places). Finding these will unlock the location of supply caches or other items in the world.
Improvised Crampons: You can now craft your own. Be cautious, Survivors – these Crampons are not quite as effective as the ones you find.
Doe: Female deer have been added to the game, replacing the majority of the Stag population.

For more details of each of these included features, please refer to the updated Roadmap page.

PART TWO: SIGNAL VOID

The first Tale, SIGNAL VOID: Requires an estimated 5+ hours to complete

Handheld Shortwave Radio: For use with Transponder Cache Gameplay
Transponder Cache Gameplay: Including the Handheld Shortwave, Transmitter sites, and trackable hidden Supply Caches
New Bunkers: Discovered as part of the Tale
Four new clothing items: The Hockey Jersey, Flight Jacket, Aviator Cap, and Technical Balaclava
New “Surprise” Accessory item: Only found as part of the Tale – check out the update video to find out more!
A note for players on Interloper: Prepper Caches are have returned to the game, however, there will be no fully-stocked versions. The new Tale also isn’t available on Interloper.

PART TWO: FREE STREAM

Along with the contents of Part Two for the paid Expansion Pass, the following free updates were applied to the base Survival game.

Fire-Hardened Arrows: Good for hunting small game
Enhanced Prepper Bunkers: Including visual updates, loot updates, and a spawn refresh. Prepper Bunkers are now spread out over more regions and there are more hatches than before, however only 3 are fully-stocked.

Acorns & more Oak Trees: Prepare and eat Acorns, or use them to make delicious Acorn Coffee
