[PC] Update 0.90.04 Patch Notes

0.90.04 PATCH NOTES

Thanks so much to everyone who has been a part of Stranded Deep’s online co-op launch. We’ve really enjoyed watching the new content from creators and the community feedback on the forums has been invaluable.

Starting from today (2021/11/22), patch 0.90.04 is rolling out on PC . The big focus for this patch has been fixing connectivity issues and issues reported by the community. Several important issues have been fixed which will significantly reduce the number of desyncs and disconnects and improve overall stability. We have a few known issues, mostly related to the ‘join-in-progress’ feature. If you experience desyncs, we recommend quitting and re-joining in the lobby for now while we work to
fix the remaining issues.

Known Issues

  • The order of items stored in storage can be replicated out-of-sync when the client joins an in-progress game. For e.g.: it’s possible for the client to see a Rock in their inventory and drop it, but a different item will be seen and dropped for the host. If you experience this issue, we recommend quitting and re-joining in the lobby for now.
  • Depending on the regional server load, sometimes joining an older session by code will not work.

any reason these notes weren’t posted to steam like they usually are? i feel like most players would like to have the update notes in their steam client as they update, as opposed to having to navigate to the forums (if they even know about the forums’ existence) in order to find patch notes.

further, should i expect notes for the PC edition to be exclusively on the forums from here on out, or was this just an oversight?

I will still be posting the patch notes to Steam. I was slow getting them up today as Steam requires a cover image which I hadn’t created yet… patch notes are up on Steam now :slight_smile:

Is there a fix for the sync save/world bug because I’ve tried every workaround I’ve seen so has my friend but we still can’t join eachother. We have traded off Hosting and still nothing. We can’t even get past the loading screen to play the game at all

I still can’t join a game with another player, weather we are starting the game at the same time or I try to join one of their saves, the world sync percentage always gets stuck forever and the loading bar loop never stops. I’ve tried everything I could and I haven’t been able to fix this. Any ideas for a work around or am I doing something wrong here?

No It’s not you I’ve tried everything. Wait a few mins in game then have the person join,reset game,get past first day then join, reload save, new save, unistall then reinstall. My friend has also tried all this on his end and none of it has worked. We still get the sync save/world bug every time without fail.

@spinup, @Maximus, could you please give me some more information on your individual setups?

  • What regions are you hosting/joining from?
  • Is your friend on the same local network or remote?
  • Can you provide your internet speed please.
  • Check your firewall (router) NAT rules aren’t restricting connections.

  • I tried hosting from all of the regions and none of them worked but I mainly used USA East.
  • We were not on the same local network.
  • My internet speed is currently 146 mb per second and her internet speed is somewhere around 10-20 mb per second.
  • I’m not able to check that at the moment but we were playing a different game together before and after attempting to play the game for a few hours or so.
    *Also the error always happened at the “Sync world” percentage when joining a game, it would go and get stuck at random numbers every time, for example the first it went to 14%, then 11%, then 17%, then 3%.
  • Also I went into the public lobbies page and tried joining every ongoing game from every single region and all of them were either declined or had the exact same issue.
    Please keep me updated on any kind of workaround that might work I’ve tried all of the ones I found in the forums that relate to this issue but they haven’t been working.

Thanks a lot for providing this info.
