- Patch 1.0.5.f - 15 November 2021
This patch fixes the following issues: Fixed a bug which could lead to the game crashing upon level change. The reason was a lingering reference on the old helicopter object of the previous level. Fixed a bug where a mix up of interaction bubbles could lead to a crash under certain circumstances. Fixed a bug where a not-yet created interaction bubble is spawned if it does not exist yet. Fixed a bug where during saving process only part of the weapon status would be stored. Fixed a bug where the assisting player was loaded in the wrong x position after loading a save game. Fixed a bug where a dreamer was not properly put into the "stumbling backwards" state when loaded from a save game. Mitigated a crash that would occur when the dreamer target of a player was destroyed during the save process. This does not fully solve the whole issue, but instead of hard crashing, it leads now only to…

- Hotfix 1.0.5.d - 28 September 2021
Howdy folks, with the reports provided by you through the bug reports, we now have a vast pool of data to work with. We've been sieving through it, creating issues and fixing bugs left and right, but turned out to be messy business. We needed to improve and categorize the data, to identify duplicates and connect different reports that actually have the same cause. Basically: Thanks to your help, we have a lot to work with, but we needed to get it in order. We fixed several crashes connected to incomplete savegame processing. We improved crash reporting and categorization of the data provided in crash reports. Some minor graphical & balancing fixes.
- Hotfix 1.0.5.c - 16 September 2021

Fixing the following issues: Problems with savegames not properly restoring certain values Problems with moving stackable weapons Crash connected to buhwack & smash Open interaction
- Hotfix 1.0.5.a - 14 September 2021
The new reporting tool already pays off - we were able to fix several bugs after you reported them and provided us with the necessary data! Fixed a crash that would occur when picking up a receptacle (WaterJug, JerryCan, etc.) when the active player had a full inventory, but was assisted by another player. Fixed a bug where stackable objects that can be used as weapons (WoodenPole, MetalRebar) are auto-equipped upon pickup, but the rest of the stack disappeared. This could block the tutorial. Fixed a crash where dreamer grabbing state could not be properly re-initialized upon loading a save game. Fixed some smaller bugs.

- Highrisers - Patch 1.0.4.b released - 11 August 2021
Dear survivors, we've uploaded a new patch version for Highrisers, with the following fixes & improvements: Fixes Fixed the issue that sometimes crafting or repair recipe ingredients were consumed, but the craft/repair would not properly take place. Fixed a bug where crafting recipes would be reset when saving while it was ongoing and then loading. Fixed a crash that would occur when saving while a receptacle was being filled. Fixed a crash that would occur upon completing a barricade construction after loading a savegame.

Fixed a bug where a player could no longer be equipped with weapons after the barricade he was manning got destroyed. Fixed a bug where Dreamers would attack barricades from…
- Hotfix 1.0.4.a - 30 July 2021
This fix patches the problems of not being able to disassemble objects after completing the tutorial or after loading a savegame. In addition: Fixed a bug where the game would crash upon aborting the opening/closing of a barricade Fixed a bug where ongoing crafting interactions upon saving would be aborted. They are now paused and will continue upon loading. Some missing crafting recipes were added. Fixed an error with spear combat animation speed. Prevent the assist-bubble on players currently grabbed by dreamers. Known issues: When paused interactions continue after loading, the animations of the working player or the progress bubble are not always updated. Players seem to be standing idle. You can see at their progress bar in their inventory however that there actually is progress. When during the ongoing construction of a barricade a game is saved/loaded, moving the player away from…

Survivors! Thanks to your ongoing support and valuable feedback, we were able to tackle more bugs. More details below: Fixed an issue where the game would sometimes crash if you dragged items from an assisting character. Fixed an issue which would flood the savegame file with ceiling lamps, thus bogging down gameplay speed until it crashes. All blunt weapons can now smash open glass containers. Fixed crashes connected to helicopter module repairs and increased damage after landing. Fixed incorrect display of the preview of Barricade health values. Fixed an issue where inventory content and unlocked additional inventory skills would turn invisible after moving to the next building (although they were technically still there). Fixed an issue where the stack size of an item stack was not properly visually represented after loading a savegame. Fixed an issue where, under rare circumstances,…
- Hotfix for 1.0.3 - 24 July 2021
Helicopter menu fully visible again after save/load.
- Version 1.0.3 online!! - 24 July 2021
In Patch 1.0.3 the main focus was on bug fixing and repairing crashes. Bugs & Crashes: When traversing to the next building, one now keeps his progress in inventory and skill points. This has actually been a topic in the last patch alreday, but maliciously, the bug persisted for some players. Even worse, we were totally unable to reproduce it on our machines, as it was involuntarily corrected by the test mode we use for testing and bug fixing. Be that as it may: It is fixed now! Savegames were overhauled, and now loading should no longer leasd to any crasheds whatsoever. Fixed a crash caused by a dreamer trying to grab or release a dead player. Fixed a bug where the game froze under certain conditions when a player tried attacking a dreamer that was already dead. Fixed a bug were fuel was not properly consumed on level transition. Fixed a bug where flower pots and plant containers would…

Furthermore, we wanted to give you a small glimpse, what the current game’s status update is and what we are planning, to further improve the game, based on your overwhelming feedback. Already tackled/Please give it a try yourself: Tutorial: As we discovered that it has not started properly for some players, while others reported that at one point, they are getting stuck, we have addressed this problem already, and it should not be possible to get stuck anymore in the tutorial and canceling the Tutorial should no longer have any impact on the further progress.
