The Hotfix 1.0.0.3 changelog, published Oct. 21, 2026, identifies the Enshrouded build as version 1273043. It targets crashes tied to water simulation and leaving the game, makes missing Early Access rewards redeemable for some players, and improves save data migration.

• Fixed several crashes connected to the water simulation.
• Fixed several crashes that could occur when leaving the game and several randomly occurring crashes.
• Fixed a crash when interacting with factories.
• Fixed a crash when unlocking new recipes while a filter was active for the recipe list.
• Fixed an endless black screen for some players when trying to load a multiplayer game.

• Some users who were missing Early Access rewards can now redeem them in the game’s pause menu.
• Fixed a rare crash that could occur during save data migration.
• Improved migration for characters with invalid entries in additional backpack slots. Characters should now migrate correctly, without the items that previously caused the process to stop.
• Improved migration when the Flame Altar was not placed in the voxel grid for unknown reasons. Migration now corrects the Flame Altar’s position within the grid. In these cases, the affected player base’s water cannot be loaded and must be re-added as needed.

• Fixed light flickering in very large player bases.
• Improved stuttering when using V-Sync on AMD graphics cards.

The October 16, 2026 Hotfix 1.0.0.2 for Enshrouded carries version 1269579 and restores world-settings configuration while fixing a rare save-migration crash. Corrupted character saves will not be migrated in this patch, and a follow-up fix is in the works.

The world-settings issue was introduced accidentally by the previous hotfix while the team fixed misbehaving session lists in the multiplayer join menus.

The save-migration crash occurred when loading a corrupted character save. With this hotfix, those corrupted characters will not be migrated. The developers are working on a fix that will allow migration and repair the corrupted characters at the same time. Players missing a character from their list are asked to be patient: “help is on the way,” the changelog says.

A grey-fog rendering issue on Nvidia graphics cards is fixed. The bug appeared only on Nvidia cards and was especially common in the Hollow Halls.

Factories no longer crash in rare cases when placed down, and the correct menu now appears when interacting with them.

Localization fixes cover the skill-tree descriptions for Aerial Wand Attack, Evasion Attack, Wand Evasion Attack and Crash Down Attack in several languages. More skill descriptions are due in the next patch.

A crash when fast traveling or landing with a glider in a world with many entities—enemies, survivors, mannequins and similar—has also been fixed.

Adventure Share subscribing is more stable, and crashes while browsing shared adventures or starting a download have been fixed.

The hotfix also fixes several rare and randomly occurring crashes, including rare crashes connected to the water simulation and the Twitch link server, a rare crash with a completely filled backpack, and potential crashes while exiting the game. It fixes an issue that could crash the server when fighting a very large number of enemies.

Players who hit more issues can contact support through the official request form. The team asks them to check for a response email requesting details and specific files for investigation.

Enshrouded's Hotfix 1.0.0.1, published October 15, 2026 and carrying version number 1267041, is focused on stability and a few standout fixes. It addresses random crashes, indoor lighting problems, and crashes tied to specific peripherals attached to the PC. The Fire Wisp scroll has also been changed.

The “Fire Wisp” scroll no longer scales with player level. It now has a fixed level of 27. Previously, its damage scaled with the player level, which made the scroll “ridiculously strong” in the end-game. The Deluxe Upgrade Pack's artbook and world map have also been updated.

The team is observing a sound issue affecting reverb in large halls or rooms and dynamically lowered gameplay sounds while lore voice-over is playing. It only appears when the master volume slider is lower than 100%. Until a fix is available, the recommendation is to keep the master volume slider at 100% and regulate volume through Windows sound settings instead, if needed.

An issue cropped up with this hotfix: if the edit button doesn't work when trying to edit your world, try subscribing to something—anything—in adventure sharing, then try editing your world again. That appears to be a temporary workaround while the issue is fixed.

Enshrouded 1.0 launched on October 15, 2026. Keen Games marked the milestone with its traditional highlights video, made for players who only believe it when they see it. The full changelog arrived the day before.

The team says it is refreshing social platforms, checking Discord, and reading comments everywhere, and asks players who haven't already to leave a review — it helps potential new players decide whether Enshrouded is for them.

"Have fun in Embervale, Flameborn, and we'll see you very soon!"

Enshrouded's price is increasing by €10 to €39.99 (or local equivalent) on September 8. Until then, the survival crafting game is available at its cheapest price ever, €22.49, as part of Steam's PVE Survival Crafting Fest.

The developer says the increase was always planned for the end of Early Access. So far, the game has "grown and improved immensely" in features and content, and the higher price will allow the team to "keep developing the game further, for as long as possible."

For anyone holding out for the 1.0 release, the studio says grabbing the game now at €22.49 is almost €17.50 cheaper than the upcoming release price, so it's a good time if you want a discount. Waiting until release is also "entirely reasonable."

The announcement is aimed at players who already own Enshrouded: the developer's estimates suggest most of you know at least one other person who might be interested in picking it up on the cheap before the increase. If that describes you, the time to tell that person is before September 8.

Enshrouded's 1.0 launch is set for October 15, and developer Keen Games has started showing what's changing. The current focus is on improving features and systems already in the game, with a new behind-the-scenes video highlighting some of the larger upgrades. The studio says a much longer list of changes is still to come in October's Highlights video and release changelog.

Performance is the other major 1.0 target. After years of added systems, detail, and visual polish, the team wants Enshrouded to run significantly better on lower- and middle-range systems—and, as the video's joke notes, that means dealing with someone who "keeps adding forests full of bamboo." This is Keen Games' second-ever look behind the scenes at how the game works.

Part of the team is currently at Gamescom, showing press the upcoming changes and the PS5 version. More videos are planned in the coming weeks, while the studio notes that September's packed release schedule should give players plenty to play until Enshrouded arrives on October 15.
