addedModding ReminderWe’ve seen reports of the game crashing upon launch, and in the vast majority of early cases this was because the game was modded. We do not officially support mods , so if you have used them on any of your old saves, you are likely going to crash. We recommend removing all mods and starting a new save if you want to enjoy the content. Do consider that simply reinstalling the game can still leave mod files behind.

addedLive Bug TrackerWork continues on fixing the remaining issues in the game. For added visibility, you can find a list of known issues in our Live Bug Tracker , along with the expected patches we plan to get a fix out for them and other information worth sharing. This isn’t a completely comprehensive list of every bug present in the game, largely the ones that get reported the most to our support team.

Modding Reminder

We’ve seen reports of the game crashing upon launch, and in the vast majority of early cases this was because the game was modded. We do not officially support mods, so if you have used them on any of your old saves, you are likely going to crash. We recommend removing all mods and starting a new save if you want to enjoy the content. Do consider that simply reinstalling the game can still leave mod files behind.

Note: To help clear up any misconceptions, mods are not THE source of crashes here. They do, however, historically contribute to them. We're addressing the issues we can internally but unfortunately cannot address issues caused by external Mods and recommend you uninstall them to see if that helps with any issues you might be experiencing.

Platform Parity

All platforms have returned to version parity.
