Crimson Moon

Hey Nephilim, 

Hotfix 1.0.2 is now live on all platforms! 

Team Metal has been hard at work addressing as many of the issues reported by players as possible. This is our biggest update yet, with hundreds of fixes and improvements across saves and progression, co-op, combat, Boons and Weapon Arts, crashes, performance, camera and much more. 

Thank you to everyone who has continued to report issues and share feedback with us. Your reports continue to help the team identify, reproduce and prioritise issues, and many of the fixes included below directly address issues raised by the community. 

Key Fixes in Patch 1.0.2 

There’s a lot in this update. Here are just some of the highlights: 

• Major co-op fixes, including issues with Quickplay, joining games, progression, dealing damage and parrying, alongside several issues that could leave players stuck or unable to continue. 

• More save and progression fixes, including issues where progress and unlock information could incorrectly carry between different save files, alongside improvements to make overwriting saves safer. 

• Lore Scrolls can now be collected in co-op, fixing an issue that could prevent the second player from collecting them and progressing related quests. 

• Clear the Area objectives should now be more reliable, with fixes for enemies that could fail to spawn or make their way towards you, preventing you from completing the objective. 

• Fixed numerous locations where players could become stuck in the environment or fall through the world. 

• Lots of fixes for Boons and Weapon Arts, including Angelic Bulwark, Brewmaster, Aftershock Technique, Avenging Pestilence, Shield of Many, Pyromancer, Impaling Throw and more. 

• Improved the downed and revive experience in co-op, fixing several issues that could occur while players were downed or being revived. 

• More crash and performance fixes across PC and consoles, including improvements across multiple levels and boss encounters. 

• Steam Deck improvements, including fixes for controls, UI readability, combat desync and performance. 

• More camera and lock-on fixes, including issues during rolling attacks and encounters with Egregore and Demon Brute. 

• Clearer Status Effect information for Rage, Poisoned, Freeze, Marked and Sundered. 

• Improved loot and Gold pickups, including a fix for dropped items bunching together and a new setting that allows you to auto-pickup Gold! 

• Plus many more fixes across quests, UI, localisation, audio, cinematics, enemies, bosses and the world itself. 

An Update on Saves & Progression 

We know save and progression loss has been one of the biggest concerns for players, and it continues to be one of our highest priorities. 

Hotfix 1.0.2 includes a number of important save fixes designed to make saves more stable and secure, addressing several of the issues we’ve identified through player reports and our ongoing investigation. 

While we expect these changes to make a meaningful improvement to save stability, our work here isn’t finished. A few of the remaining save issues are more complex, and for Patch 1.1 we’re planning a more substantial rework of how saves are handled. This is a larger piece of work that requires additional development and testing, but will allow us to fix the underlying issues and better protect your saves going forward. 

Many of the remaining save issues we’re investigating occur when moving between devices, so in the meantime, we recommend playing Crimson Moon on a single device where possible. Until we can confirm these issues are fully resolved, we recommend avoiding switching devices when playing the same save. 

For players on PC, you may also want to create a local backup of your save as an additional precaution while we continue this work. 

We know this isn’t an ideal recommendation, but we want to be transparent about the current situation while also making clear that 1.0.2 contains meaningful improvements to save stability. Please continue reporting any save or progression issues you experience after updating - your reports are incredibly valuable as we continue this work. 

What’s Next 

Hotfix 1.0.2 is another substantial step forward for Crimson Moon, but our work doesn’t stop here. 

Our next major update, Patch 1.1, is planned for October. Alongside the wider work on saves outlined above, 1.1 will focus on further quality-of-life improvements, including gear and Blacksmith improvements, clearer gear and Boon information, better visibility of run progression, rewards and unlocks, further control remapping improvements, and additional co-op improvements. 

And while our focus since launch has understandably been on fixing and improving the core experience, we’re also looking further ahead. 

There’s more coming to Crimson Moon. 

As we move into October, we’ll begin sharing more about new content coming to the game and what’s next for Gildenarch. We’re not quite ready to reveal everything just yet, but you won’t have to wait too much longer to find out more. 

For now, there are a lot more fixes to dig into below.

Hey Nephilim, 

We wanted to give you an update on Hotfix 1.0.2. 

We're treating save and progression loss as our highest priority, and the team has made significant progress in identifying what we believe to be the root cause of these issues. 

We’ve also identified several additional critical fixes that we want to include in 1.0.2. Rather than release the update now with multiple follow-ups, we’ve decided to move Hotfix 1.0.2 into next week and deliver these together as one more complete update. 

1.0.2 is a substantial update, with over 200 fixes currently going into the update. Some of the key issues we're addressing include: 

• Save and progression loss 

• Run-blocking issues 

• Co-op issues (including those Lore Scrolls that can’t be collected in co-op) 

• Crashes 

• Boons and Weapon Arts not functioning as intended 

We’re excited about the progress we’ve made, particularly around the save issues, but we also want to ask everyone to continue reporting any issues you encounter after the update. Your reports have been incredibly valuable in helping us identify and address these problems, and we’ll continue working to make Crimson Moon the best experience it can be. 

We’ve always said we want to be transparent and keep you in the loop, so we wanted to let you know as soon as this decision was made. 

Thank you for your patience and for continuing to share your reports and feedback with us. We’ll have more to share on Hotfix 1.0.2 next week. ⚔️
