Known issues

  • Thralls placed in the world will end up being naked after patching
  • Thralls that are in storage or player inventory when game is patched will visually have their original armor after being placed in the world, but will have no armor equipped. This is just a visual bug. Adding armor pieces to thrall will clear the bug for the slot being equipped. Restarting singleplayer game or dedicated server after thralls are placed will also remove visual glitch (which will make placed thralls naked)
  • An animation glitch might occurr if you move weapons from thrall to thrall. Restarting the multiplayer server/local game should clear this
  • Taking a weapon from a thrall placed in the world prior to patching may result in a visual glitch similar to “Arrow in my wrist”, where a visual representation of their weapon will remain in their hands despite no weapon being equipped. The issue is cleared after restarting your server or local game
  • There is an issue on Xbox whereby saving character data such as level fails in local play. If this happens, you will need to recreate a character. We are working on the issue and will roll out a fix asap.
