Crimson Moon Hotfix 1.0.1 Fixes Saves and Camera Issues
Crimson Moon Hotfix 1.0.1 introduces rolling backup saves, Steam Deck sync fixes, and major improvements to camera behavior during boss fights. The update also tackles multiplayer disconnects, keybinding bugs, and UI scaling issues across platforms.
Crimson Moon developers have rolled out Hotfix 1.0.1 to address the most urgent technical complaints since launch. The update focuses heavily on protecting player saves, smoothing out multiplayer sessions, and fixing persistent camera tracking issues during boss fights across PC and consoles.
Save Protection and Progression
Save and progression loss receives immediate reinforcement with the addition of rolling backup saves to protect against file corruption. The update fixes several instances where player progression could reset unintentionally. For Steam Deck users, a bug affecting save syncing with a PC on the same account is now resolved, and menu controls will no longer lock up.
Multiplayer and Co-op Fixes
Co-op matches see multiple stability improvements, including fixes for invite acceptance getting stuck on the title screen and host options remaining unavailable after reconnecting. Downed players will now revive correctly at activated Nexus Gates. Additionally, co-op run progress now persists for clients, letting them continue the run solo if needed.
Camera and Combat Adjustments
Lock-on camera behavior is improved for large stationary bosses, including Tyrigon and the Dry Rot King’s God form. Adjustments to large and elite enemies reduce unwanted camera movement. In combat, the Knight Terror's arm now detaches correctly during a finisher, and Felwyl's death sequence no longer skips when defeated during a lightning attack.
Interface and Keybinding Corrections
Custom keybinding issues are largely resolved, with interaction prompts and HUD button icons now updating correctly after rebinding. Left and Right Shift display proper individual icons, a Cancel option is added to keyboard remapping, and assigning ESC to a custom action no longer breaks the UI. HUD scaling options are now available in the settings menu alongside improved 4K resolution UI scaling.
World, Audio, and Store Fixes
Exploration bugs are patched, including unreachable Relic collection points, dropped relics that could not be picked up, and out-of-bounds geometry in Archspire Cathedral. Item pickup range is reduced so nearby items do not trigger interactions from too far away. On storefronts, the Deluxe Edition Upgrade search visibility on Xbox, PS5, and Epic Games Store is fixed, alongside an empty Soundtrack issue on Steam.
Why this patch matters
Hotfix 1.0.1 delivers necessary baseline stability, tackling save corruption and frustrating camera quirks that hindered early playthroughs.
