Summary (AI)
Patch 1.6 for REANIMAL addresses companion AI navigation and fixes camera behavior during gameplay and cinematic transitions. The update resolves numerous bugs, including interaction issues, player freezes, and crashes, with nearly 300 fixes implemented to improve overall stability. Key changes include disabling the disconnect code to reduce disconnect frequency, although this may cause desyncs on poor networks, and several online co-op improvements. Visual glitches and performance drops in specific areas have also been corrected. Players using older versions cannot play cross-platform with those on 1.6, and Nvidia GPU users are advised to update drivers to prevent crashes.
Tip: expand all for quick scanning.
  • Resolved issues where music or ambient sounds could continue playing incorrectly.
  • General gameplay polish and minor bug fixes.
  • With patch 1.6 we hope to have solved some of the major disconnect issues we’ve seen happening. Please note that cross-play with players not using 1.6 will not work.
  • Please continue to report any issues that you encounter as that helps us improve the game!
  • The main change in 1.6 is that we’ve disabled the disconnect code in the game. This means that disconnects will hopefully happen a lot less frequently. However, this does mean that when playing on a bad network with high ping / packet loss you might experience desyncs, slow response and potentially game breaking bugs.
