- Several quests now advance correctly after their required interactions.
- The PornHubble grate requires a Cutter; two doors require the Twister interaction.
- The update includes an Intel Core Ultra crash fix and restores Alt + Enter fullscreen switching.
The biggest changes concern getting through quests
The September 9 announcement focuses on cases where an action was completed but the game did not move forward. Examples include the Zarya starter handle still reporting ice after the engines were cleared, the taxi pump failing to start, and the intercom sequence failing to provide the roof-battery objective.
It also fixes a save-and-reload case after the five larvae encounter, a character becoming stuck while installing the station roof loudspeaker, and a station-chief sequence in which saving during the explosion could prevent the head from appearing. These fixes matter more to an existing playthrough than a new item count would suggest.
Some older crowbar instructions no longer apply
The grate inside PornHubble can now be opened only with the Cutter. The Coffinbot train door and the drillers’ round door now require the screwdriver interaction, represented by the Twister in the English item list. The crowbar no longer substitutes for those tools.
If an older route shows a different interaction, compare its game version before assuming your save is broken. Bring the required tool and use the current interaction prompt. The item pages link directly to the corresponding crafting materials.
Save timing, fullscreen and Intel Core Ultra
The opening scene now permits saving only after the child leaves the train car. That prevents a reload from locking the game before the suit appears. Other fixes address getting stuck around the Police sign and the jammer, and food machines moving out of place during use.
Alt + Enter can toggle fullscreen again. RedRuins also reports a fix for a FatalError associated with an outdated Intel AI Boost driver on Core Ultra 5, 7 and 9 processors in the H and HX series. The announcement asks players whose crash persists after updating to contact the studio.
