Another Crab’s Treasure – Ver. 1.0.101.1

• Release date: May 9th 2024 (North America, Europe) / May 10th 2024 (Japan)
• Patch notes:

General

• Fixed an issue where you could not pause when grabbed.
• Fixed sand pillars’ rock chunks not fading away when despawning.
• Fixed a visual issue where pencil barricades’ rubber bands turned teal upon breaking.
• Fixed an issue where smokescreen ink wouldn’t dissipate.
• Also fixed the smokescreen issue where you could distract Heikea for far too long with the ability, leaving him idle for longer than the effect lasted.
• Fixed an issue where Interrupting the petting animation prevents Kril from acquiring items or equipping shells until he dies
• Fixed an issue where Chum can be targeted by Fizzle bubbles
• You can no longer equip the gun as a hammer
• Certain users were finding their save file unusable if they had previously completed Verne’s quest in The Shallows (the trapped crab on top of a small sand castle). This should now be resolved.
• Users with their system language set to Turkish will now be able to see text properly.
• PROBABLY fixed an issue where Bloodstar Limbs were vanishing from the Prawn Shop without having purchased them. We never saw this issue on our end, but some inconsistent code was found and fixed that likely resolves it.
• The camera collision and locations where you could get softlocked in the Shallows that we reported in the previous hotfix did not actually make it in before — they are included in this patch.
• Fixed an issue where the shell collection menu background would shrink over time.
• Drastically increased the radius where you can pick up your corpse from.
• Fixed an issue where removing a Stowaway the quick way via the Status Panel would not update your Stats display.
• Players with pit damage turned off were occasionally ending up in infinite loops of falling into the abyss, unable to die or pause the game. We will be working on reducing the instances where the game can spawn you in an improper place, but for now, we have added a failsafe where falling into a pit several times in a row this way will simply kill you, regardless of your assist settings. This should prevent players from getting soft locked this way.
• Fixed a rare soft lock where restarting the game could prevent the Moon Snail Shell in the Moon Snail’s Domain from ever spawning. It should now always appear if you have talked to the Moon Snail at least once.
• Adjusted the collision detection on many bosses, to hopefully reduce instances of them falling through floors and dying without a fair fight.
• Fixed a hole in the ground in The Shallows
• Small Rock geometry fixes in The Shallows
• Fixed a spot where the player could get stuck in the rockface in the tutorial area
• Fixed an issue where enemies that dropped their hat would be able to be hurt by attacking the hat
• Fixed an issue in the Sands Between where two Gumpounders that dropped bloodstar limbs would respawn, allowing you to farm
• Fixed an issue where the player could become trapped on a trash bag in a ravine in the Sands Between
• Fixed an issue where the player could become trapped on a rock in Hermit Cave
• Circle of life now works properly and will trigger more than once.
• Fixed an issue where player could stand on a certain gunk pit in Flotsam Vale
• Fixed an issue where player could become trapped on trash near the Oil Drum in Expired Grove
• Lobster Guard in Slacktide no longer floats above the ground
• Sand Barrel in Slacktide no longer floats
• Fixed collider on a comb gate just before New Carcinia to avoid wandering out of bounds
• Fixed lobster statue in Slacktide missing collision
• Die Instantly will kill you regardless of assist settings. You don’t even take damage, you just die. It’s that instant.
• Shell Abilities Fortify and Stealth no longer double charge Umami Charges
• Fortify VFX end properly when the effect is disabled.
• Fixed geometry in a section of Expired Grove that could lead to issues in pitfall respawn safety
• Fixed an issue where Moon Jelly could push the player through the floor if standing under it
• Fixed an issue where the Skull shell would not spawn after killing the enemy that dropped it in Expired Grove, potentially locking out Shell Collection completion
• Shell Spells are no longer displayed in the UI until you unlock them.
• Fixes to some unintended skips around Adaptation-Gated obstacles in the Expired Grove
• Skills tab in the pause menu now properly displays the starter 3 skills once you’ve unlocked Shelleport
• Removed geometry in Flotsam Vale that could be used to access a cliff in an unintended path
• Removed the possibility of a softlock in a pit in Flotsam Vale
• Added a cap to certain force values in Kril’s physics, preventing or at least MASSIVELY reducing instances where Kril would get launched into the void by a strong enemy attack.
• Entering an Moon Snail Shell now checks ALL your achievements, solving issues where save files that had previously collected broken achivements would not be able to obtain them retroactively.
• Fixed several physics issues relating to Topoda’s boss fight that could result in the player getting pushed through the terrain or other weird behavior
• Fixed instances where your shell wouldn’t be properly insured when respawning at a Moon Jelly or an area entrance.
• Additional tough enemies in Open Ocean now die permanently when killed
• Fixed several places where the player could get stuck on geometry or wind up out of bounds in the Expired Grove
• Several fixes to floating sand crates in Slacktide
• Fredrick can no longer be re-bought for 1 microplastic when dismissed, now costs 3000
• Nemma and Konche will now properly leave their spot at the start of the Sands Between as the plot progresses.
• Fixed SFX functionality on a certain colossal late-game boss.

• Nerfed the Duchess’s grab damage from 65 to 50 and it no longer does true damage.
• Duchess Moonjelly point lowered to ground level to prevent glitchy reloading
• Fixed an issue where bobbit worms could grab Pagurus. Pagurus can no longer be grabbed by any source.

• Fixed an issue where the camera could freak out while wearing the Gun in a tight space.
• Fix to many cases where the camera would clip through the ground during the Dispatch animation.
• Pufferfish have a more stable lock-on target during their big spin move, preventing nauseating camera movement as they spin.
