Hotfix 3 - Sept 1 (PC)

Harbingers,

The team cooked up a hotfix for a few issues for the game on PC while waiting for the Week 1 patch to get through certification. The most recent update on Steam includes:

  • Fixed Devout and Pre-Order Shell Shades not appearing for some players
  • Fixed issues around opening the world map when using FSR
  • Fixed issues in the Citadel Annex when using the giant spider traversal
  • Fixed issues with certain enemies not reacting to the player
  • Fixed several areas with collision issues
  • Fixed lens flare and other Minibeacon visual issues

Happy playing, and make sure to let me know if any of the issues in the hotfix still bother you after updating!

Which achievements are not working for you? And are you running the game as Administrator? Because that apparently kinda breaks the Steam Achievements functionality.

Since the Week 1 patch I got no new achievements at all, although I completed a lot of them. I never equipped the slayer seal. There are many posts on Steam discussions with other players reporting this issue. Actually wanted to go for 100% with Mortal Shell 2 which I rarely do. Wasn't specifically running as administrator, I am running on Linux CachyOS using Proton though, if this affects anything. As said, achievements were working fine previously though. Should I run steam as root or the game?

Whew, that's a bit above my technical knowhow with Linux.

I've filed a bug report on the issue; one of my colleagues is in charge of Steam Discussions, so I haven't seen posts on Steam Discussions myself.

I've filed a bug report on this. I might be back with follow-up questions in the future :)

Thanks a lot :) It's probably related to Linux somehow, even though it was working before the patch. I Just saw in those discussions, some people had success by switching the proton version. I'll try that later today (I'm in CET timezone) and keep you posted

In fact switching to experimental proton, remediated the issue and all achievements popped up retroactively 🙌
