Embark Studios deployed Hotfix 1.26.1 early Wednesday, targeting a critical crossplay bug and several frequent crash triggers.

The crossplay setting was toggling off on all platforms after any change, regardless of player preference. The hotfix corrects that behavior. Raiders who flipped the switch now keep their choice.

Crash causes also got attention. The patch notes list "several frequent crash causes" as resolved, with more crash fixes to follow.

A visual bug that stripped color variations from certain backpacks is now also fixed.

Embark thanked raiders for the quick reports and closed the notice with a nod to the ongoing Rust Belt exploration: "Keep scouring the coast."
