Surprise! It’s a bonus Hotfix. We discovered an issue with the route planner that needed solving as soon as possible to get you all back out into the Zone and on the road.
Version 1.11.2 - Negative Scanner charges and Getting Trapped in the Garage
We’ve just pushed a solution to help you keep from getting stuck in the garage due to negative scanner charges, and other route planning related issues. Today’s fix is live for all platforms - PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.
Some players have gotten stuck with negative scanning charges when interacting with the route planner, and that's made it impossible to leave the garage entirely - because selecting a route is key to starting the journey from the garage.
This was happening due to a difference in the number of charges between Whispers in the Woods maps, and the base game. If players attempted to scan the Whispers in the Woods nodes but did not leave the garage after scanning, then returned to base game map, the math would assume they had scanned a multiplicative amount and could register a negative amount of scanner charges.
While most players could revert this change by going on an expedition run, some players were completely hardlocked by the embark requirements of their expedition level and would not be able to leave the garage entirely - needless to say this isn't ideal and we wanted to provide a solution for you all as soon as possible!
This fix corrects the misalignment between the Whispers in the Woods charges and base game charges. It should also correct any negative numbers that players might have on their save files (you should at least have one map scanner charge on a previously bugged save). We’ve confirmed this fix with new save games, jumpstarted save games, personal developer saves, and the affected individuals who donated their saves to our support line (and ultimately were the absolute heroes in us tracking down the source of the issue).
We know that a large group of you hasn’t encountered this particular issue - but for those that have, thank you for reaching out to us. Your saves, experience, and all the information shared really helped us nail this down so we could get you a solution as soon as possible.
