The Long Dark Updated to version 2.44

Hello Community,

We have just released our Survival v2.44 (157357) and WINTERMUTE v2.14 (157355) Hotfix 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 weve 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 youve 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 players 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.

Bug Fixes

This Minor Update includes fixes for the following issues:

GAMEPLAY, UI, CONTROLS

Fixed a subset of cases that could result in the Travois despawning and being placed in a nearby Lost and Found Box.
Fixed an issue at Trapper's Cabin where items could become lost under the snow due to the recently adjusted terrain.
Fixed an issue where the "Framerate Cap" slider would not remain at the desired setting, nor obey the value set.
Fixed an issue that resulted in quartered animal bags disappearing after Harvesting a portion of meat from them.
Fixed an issue in WINTERMUTE Episodes Three and Four that resulted in mistimed subtitles during the recap videos.
Fixed an issue that prevented WINTERMUTE saves from being renamed.

ART & ENVIRONMENTS

Fixed an issue in Sundered Pass that resulted in some areas displaying noticeably darkened sections with "Additional Shadows - Structures" enabled.
Fixed an issue in Sundered Pass cave transition that resulted in noticeably darkened sections and incorrect terrain blending with "Additional Shadows - Structures" and "Terrain Blending" enabled.
Fixed an issue in Sundered Pass that resulted in the interior of buildings being noticeably darker than expected with "Additional Shadows - Structures" enabled.
Fixed an issue in Zone of Contamination that resulted in the interior of buildings being noticeably darker than expected with "Additional Shadows - Structures" enabled.
Fixed an issue where powerline cables and lights would not cast shadows.
Fixed an issue that caused some snow patches to shift when viewed from particular distances or angles.
Fixed an issue on Mac where "Motion Blur" caused extremely blurred visuals during harvesting.
Fixed an issue where some "Ambient Effects" such as blowing snow would remain active when this option was disabled.
Fixed an issue in Blackrock Prison that resulted in some buildings failing to cast shadows with "Additional Shadows" enabled.
Fixed an issue in Bleak Inlet that resulted in the ocean water popping in and out based on the angle it was viewed at.
Fixed an issue where some rail cars would exhibit "Terrain Blending" when there was no snow beneath.
Fixed an issue that resulted in the Survivor having invisible arms when wearing the Festive Sweater.
Fixed an issue with the Lost and Found Box near the tunnel to Forlorn Muskeg in Broken Railroad that resulted in it remaining invisible unless very close to its location.

Please visit our Support Portal (or consult our Known Issues page) if you encounter any issues while playing the game.
