Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault Hotfix 1 Addresses Stability
Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault receives its first hotfix, adding DirectX 11 and DirectX 12 selection to combat crashes and performance drops. The update also fixes progression blockers, quest markers, and boss fight exploits.
Digital Sun and 11 bit studios have released Hotfix 1 for Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault. The patch targets the most prominent community complaints from launch, prioritizing performance stability, quest progression blockers, and weapon behavior.
Performance and Graphics
Players can now select between DirectX 11 and DirectX 12 in the settings. The developers note that switching between the two versions can help alleviate performance issues and crashes depending on individual hardware systems.
Progression and Quests
Several progression stoppers are removed, including a fix for the Weapon Mastery quest pointer directing players to the wrong location. A crash occurring immediately after completing a main quest is resolved, along with a loss of player input during conversations with Hazy Jane and a loading screen freeze when returning to Tresna during the tutorial. Babyl no longer duplicates to block access to Spark.
Combat and Enemies
Boss and enemy fixes correct Senda failing to take poison damage from gadget shots in phase two and Sergeant Roberto ignoring distant gunshots. The CH4 Turret no longer stays stuck in its shooting animation after being tased, and tased Electric Slimes stop dealing active electric field damage.
Weapons, Armor, and Dungeons
A crash caused by combining Wound and Ignite perks is fixed, and spearhead projectiles no longer freeze in midair near Will. The Scarabastion armor piece no longer grants unintended invincibility during boss fights. In dungeons, players can no longer fall out of the map in Kalina, barrier blessing shield charges now restore properly on retry, and missing legendary chest rewards are restored.
Why this patch matters
This first hotfix establishes a much-needed technical foundation for Moonlighter 2, clearing out launch crashes and frustrating progression roadblocks.
