[2024] V1.2 b27 Stable

Hello Survivors!

Today we are making our V1.2 Crossplay patch available to every platform.
Players on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC can now enjoy cross-platform gameplay.

Please note: The Xbox and Microsoft PC Store versions are taking a little longer than expected to pass certification. We don’t expect any issues and hope to release them as soon as possible. Thank you for your understanding—we’re excited for everyone to jump into the update soon!

For cross-platform games to show in the server browser:
Console: Set the option General>Crossplay Enabled: On
PC: Set the option General>Crossplay Enabled: On, but it also requires EAC Protected set to On
Maximum supported player count for crossplay is 8 and world size of 8192.

We always encourage a new save with every update, but we do not expect any issues continuing older save games. Enabling crossplay for those older save games should be safe as well.

Spacebar

You pick None under Betas and it will download the latest stable (1.2 b27), which is also the last experimental.
If not, then Steam had just not made it available yet in your region. Different people seem to get it at different times.

Check your log for errors.

Convex mesh would not cause that, but failed creating window group would break the UI. Check for missing or corrupt files. Remove any mods.
