Frosthaven Closed Beta Hotfix 0.9.1 Fixes Soft Locks and Turn Progression

Frosthaven's hotfix 0.9.1 resolves critical progression blocks, fixes turn-skipping bugs, and addresses scenario reset errors.

A new closed beta hotfix for Frosthaven targets multiple progression blockers, UI display errors, and character ability glitches.

Major Progression and Soft Lock Fixes

The Reset Scenario to Start button now correctly resets the entire scenario to prevent soft locks when errors occur. The update addresses multiple progression bugs, including issues where games became stuck during late client connections, after drawing an attack modifier, or when restarting a round in the Upper Spire scenario. A bug preventing the game from saving an empty state after finishing the tutorial is resolved, and the skip button is now properly restricted to players controlling the active character.

Character Ability and Movement Corrections

Deathwalker shadows can no longer move into new rooms or enter hexes occupied by friendly characters via Shadow Step without causing game freezes. The Blinkblade card Breakneck Speed no longer forces every player to skip their turn. Enemy positioning in the third tutorial is adjusted for proper initiative-based focus, and the Geminate perk Unstable Equilibrium now functions correctly when playing lost cards.

Interface and Visual Adjustments

Several quality-of-life adjustments improve visibility and log accuracy across campaigns. Cards, the initiative tracker, and the party column are scaled up, and resource orders in the outpost now match the building donation screen layout. Visual fixes address jump VFX anomalies, incorrect consume element battle log messages, and a bug where all characters played a heal animation during a single Regenerate ability. Additionally, illustrations are added to The Frozen Crypt narration, and monster cards receive layout updates.

Why this patch matters

Hotfix 0.9.1 removes critical roadblocks from Frosthaven's beta build, ensuring smoother turn execution and reliable session management.
