Field answer

PC Hotfix 2 and the Xbox first launch hotfix are live; keep platform coverage separate because a checked PC post does not prove PS5 parity.

PC Hotfix 2

PC Hotfix 2 was announced live. PC Hotfix 2 includes crash, stability and performance work. PC Hotfix 2 addresses the Slayer Seal Beacon-menu UI lock. PC Hotfix 2 addresses riposte weapon return.

Xbox first launch hotfix

Xbox first launch hotfix was announced live. Xbox hotfix includes stability work. Xbox hotfix includes entitlement fixes. Xbox hotfix includes input and beta-save fixes. Xbox hotfix includes Cultist robe weapon-switch crash fix. Xbox hotfix includes Slayer Seal and riposte fixes.

Platform parity

The checked PC post does not prove PS5 parity, and the available announcements provide no numeric build. Match fixes to the platform named in each announcement.

How to report a bug

The pause menu contains the version needed for bug reports. Bug reports should state reproducibility and platform. Bug reports should include media when possible.

Report safety

Back up important saves before troubleshooting. Treat anonymous reports as unconfirmed until the same issue is reproduced or acknowledged, and remember that a fix note does not guarantee every similar crash has the same cause.

Known crashes and workarounds

The keyboard-binding crash had a developer workaround.
