Everspace 2 developer ROCKFISH Games recently launched a new update that resolves many issues with mission blockers.
Before Hotfix 1.0.33633 went live, there was a bug that prevented players from progressing through the campaign after completing Blakemore’s Wrath. This issue affected those who continued from an auto-save that was created right after the said mission was completed.
Players who have experienced this can now rejoice because the issue is now resolved in this hotfix. Just dock in the home base and the follow-up mission will begin shortly after.
While certain mission blockers are fixed, the same can’t be said with the “Flak Crash/Freeze.”
For those who don’t know, some players reported that Everspace 2 freezes when using the Flak Cannon in high-risk or densely populated areas. The company is already aware of this and currently investigating the matter. Hopefully, ROCKFISH Games can release a fix for this particular problem very soon.
