Desolation Seed First Patch Addresses Softlocks and Collision Bugs
Desolation Seed's first patch tackles critical progression blockers, including dumpster collision issues, infinite spawn loops, and fullscreen lockouts.
The initial patch for Desolation Seed is live, targeting major stability issues, navigation blockers, and persistent loops reported by players since launch.
Critical Progression and Softlock Fixes
Several severe progression bugs have been resolved. Getting stuck inside dumpsters and the Surrogate name softlock during escape inputs are fixed. The infinite spawn loop on the Megamart Nest door and the zero-health death spawn loop no longer trap players. Loading a file when no save file exists will no longer break the game.
Environment and UI Stability
Collision issues and holes across maps have been addressed. The inventory breaking inside the mall nest and getting shot while interacting with terminals are fixed. Server dialogue spamming, cursor disappearing issues, and RECLEAR stimulate bugs have also been eliminated.
Display and Options
Reports of fullscreen lockouts have been addressed with a new runtime fullscreen option that can be accessed by pressing Escape.
Why this patch matters
This first update focuses entirely on preventing dead-ends and crashes, making it a mandatory download for anyone experiencing progression freezes.
