The Blood of Dawnwalker Gets Its First Post-Launch Hotfix
By Jaymo | Today at 11:40amThe Blood of Dawnwalker has finally been released, and not only is the game now top 1 seller on Steam, but the reviews are all very positive as well, minus a few bugs here and there. And talking about bugs, Rebel Wolves has already released the first post-launch hotfix. Hotfix 1.0.2 has already rolled out on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, addressing quest and gameplay issues, and they also continue to work on some bigger technical problems.
The update is kind of small, but it fixes a few issues that could potentially cause important problems, so it was still an important update. As always, make sure your game is really updated before you launch it today, so you can experience all the changes.
The Blood of Dawnwalker Hotfix 1.0.2

Quests
- Coen can now talk to Farkas even after killing all NPCs around him
- Lunka will no longer get lost while leading Coen during the tutorial
- The Uriashi blacksmith can now craft a certain holy sword
Gameplay
- Controller dead zone and input issues while sprinting have been adjusted on PC
Rebel Wolves has also published a list of known issues they are currently investigating:
- Game stuttering when in Windowed / Borderless mode (workaround: please try launching the game in Full Screen)
- Game crashing on compiling shaders (fix: please check if your BIOS is up to date, more info on the official website)
- Missing option of mapping buttons on a PS5 gamepad
So these three problems should be taken care of next, in theory.
The team also provided a workaround for an issue where sprinting can stop when changing direction with a gamepad. On console, you can try lowering your controller sensitivity from 1.0 to 0.8 in the system settings. A proper fix will come, but it might take a few days, so this is at least a good workaround for it in the meantime.

It is not the biggest first hotfix, but considering The Blood of Dawnwalker only launched on September 3, it is good to see Rebel Wolves already addressing player reports and providing workarounds for some of the issues that need more time to be fixed.
They will continue to make improvements, so you can pretty much expect more hotfixes in the next few weeks as well!
