SnowRunner is a simulation video game that was developed by Saber Interactive and published by Focus Home Interactive. The game was released on the 28th of April 2020 and unfortunately, it released with some bugs and issues. Luckily, only 4 days later, a new SnowRunner update was released which addressed most of the bugs and issues. At the time of writing this, the new update is only available for the PC version of the game, however, it is expected to come to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One very soon.
CO-OP Fixes
The co-operative aspect of the game appears to have suffered a large majority of SnowRunner bugs and issues. The biggest one of all seems to be the issue with the friend list. For some players, the friend list would not appear upon launching the game. This has been somewhat fixed with this patch and the friend list will now appear after launching, however, players who are returning to the main menu after a gaming session may experience it disappearing again. Players can relaunch the game to fix this but the developers are working on a way to fix this completely. Additionally, some connections improvements were fixed and players are now able to receive invites during their co-op games.
Notes:
- Friend list: The friend list will now always appear when you launch the game. However, some players may have issues after a game when coming back to the menu. If you encounter this issue, please relaunch your game. We are still working on a 100% fix, sorry for the inconvenience.
- Invitation: players can now receive invites when they are in another coop game.
- A few connection improvements.
Physics Issues
Among the known physics issues, one of the most game-breaking ones was the collision bug which would cause vehicles to fall through the ground. This issue has been addressed and vehicle physics should now be working as intended.
Notes:
Vehicle physics: collision bug causing trucks to fall through the ground is now fixed.
Issues With Steering Wheels
Another known problem among the SnowRunner bugs and issues was the one that caused the force feedback of players who are using a steering wheel to play the game to deactivate after using alt+tab. This issue has now been fixed.
Notes:
- Logitech G29: Force Feedback is not deactivated anymore after alt+tabbing.
GUI Notes:
- Marker issue for contract “Lost Container” is now resolved.
- HUD elements do not appear anymore in the garage when you use the “skip tutorial” option.
- A few mod, gameplay, and localization issues are now fixed
