Icarus Hotfix 2.3.22.146441 Fixes Dedicated Server World Settings

Hotfix 2.3.22.146441 for Icarus resolves several dedicated server issues regarding arachnophobia mode and custom world settings persistence. The patch ensures settings save immediately and synchronize properly for administrators transitioning into prospects.

A new hotfix for Icarus addresses persistent problems with dedicated server administration and custom world settings. The update ensures that admin permissions and custom configurations carry over correctly when players load into active prospects.

Dedicated Server Settings and Admin Sync

Custom world settings now save immediately to the prospect file through a forced save when updated. Clients on dedicated servers will now see current custom server settings correctly displayed in the escape menu after logging in as an admin. Furthermore, players who log into dedicated server lobbies or auto-login via an admin whitelist are now properly registered as logged in during transitions to prospects, allowing them to adjust elevated custom settings as intended.

Arachnophobia Mode and Known Issues

Arachnophobia mode can now be toggled on and off correctly on dedicated servers. Developers noted a known issue where the Custom World Settings button may fail to function when creating a new prospect from a dedicated server lobby; players can work around this by changing the setting as an admin in-game using the escape menu button.

Why this patch matters

This hotfix clears up frustrating administrative hurdles on dedicated servers, making custom game rules and arachnophobia toggles actually stick.
