The Last Plague: Blight News — May 30, 2026
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
Got a whole bunch of bug fixes and improvements in this patch after collecting reports over the last while. Also did a bit of performance optimization and networking improvements that touch many parts of the game logic, let me know if you see something weird!
Fixes
Fixed corrupt data on objects breaking the game load process. Instead the object will attempt to be repaired and removed if repair isn't easily possible
Fixed colliders of clay tile roofs so that they no longer block doors from fully opening
Fixed incorrect collision of triangular walls with the support beams they sit on top of
Fixed doors not blocking further doors from being placed in the same doorway
Fixed medical item durability not syncing correctly on co-op joining players
Fixed the font setup to better allow for the upcoming Chinese localization
Fixed used up medical items like bandages combining with and reducing condition of fresh ones
Removed "rabbit remains" from decayed crows
Fixed journal task list overflowing the window when there are too many tasks
Fixed pressing "enter" to finalize a map marker causing the chat box to pop up in co-op games
Improvements
Reworked the game join process and overall chunk sending system to allow for slower network connections, down to 500kbps up/down. Joining games and loading chunks during exploration will take a while in these scenarios but the game will now at least function rather than fail to connect
Improved chunk streaming and network message processing to better disregard out-of-order packets and avoid corruption in certain cases like terrain textures
Reworked the core entity processing system to be more CPU efficient. You may see modest performance improvements in scenes with many items or building pieces active at the same time
Improved memory management during chunk unloading to avoid brief framerate hitches
Balance
Doubled the life of smoked meat items
Disabled decay of liquids like berry juice when properly fermenting (in a closed container)
Moderately increased sawing stamina cost
Additions
Allow torch to be ignited by limestone burn piles
