Iron Nest Patch #2 Fixes Save Corruption and Adds Motion Blur Toggle
Iron Nest Patch #2 resolves save file corruption and mission entry bugs following crashes, adds a motion blur toggle, and fixes graphical glitches.
Iron Nest developers Nick and Dominik have deployed Patch #2, directly targeting critical save file corruption and post-crash mission entry failures while introducing a requested motion blur toggle.
Critical Fixes and Stability
The update eliminates critical save file corruption and resolves bugs that prevented operators from entering missions following a crash. It also addresses issues where engine control lights failed to function, and prevents cats from remaining attached after a mission ends, which previously caused animation glitches.
Visuals and Quality of Life
A new motion blur toggle has been added, removing the effect from screen shake events like firing weapons or taking damage. Cat models no longer disappear on Very Low graphics settings, and elevation linkage levers now properly reset when exiting a mission after firing. On the cannon text front, duplicate patron name fragments have been removed and font sizes enlarged.
Menus and Connectivity
Improvements have been made to prevent mouse movement lockups during loading screens for the main menu and missions. The patch also addresses Discord code generation and account linking errors.
Why this patch matters
Patch #2 tackles game-breaking save corruption and menu lockups swiftly, offering essential stability relief for players diving into the frontline.
