Neverway Prologue Patch 1 Fixes Progression Blocks and Crashes

Neverway's first prologue patch resolves multiple crash causes, softlocks involving the hookshot, and inventory bugs while seated.

Neverway has received its first day-one prologue update, targeting critical crash bugs and softlocks that could trap players during exploration.

Crash Fixes

The update adds proper error reporting when an image file fails to load. It also resolves a crash triggered when selecting a deceased piece during the Barduc encounter.

Softlock and Inventory Fixes

Players will no longer get stuck when sitting near Mugs. Dropping items while sitting has been disabled, and players can no longer drop the hookshot to prevent permanent progression loss upon death. Additionally, fixes address players getting stuck with the hookshot if an enemy dies mid-pull.

UI and Localization

Hovering over 'Controls' in the options menu now displays the correct tooltip during gameplay. A typo in the Russian localization has also been corrected.

Why this patch matters

This quick patch resolves major progression blocks tied to sitting, inventory management, and hookshot physics while eliminating key crash sources.
