Quick take
Further tweaks for you today, vikings! This one includes fixes for both terrain modification and for some achievements, so we hope this makes playing smoother for you all! Due to some internal restrictions, the patch will require a few days to get uploaded to all platforms. Despite this, however, crossplay will still remain functional, so you can keep playing with your friends regardless of what platform you’re on.
- Fixed a bug that caused terrain modifications to revert in Deep North after unloading the area in some cases. Our apologies that this one went back and forth for a while! You may need to manually fix terrain seams by pickaxing, using the hoe, or walking over snow however.
- Fixed a bug that could cause way too many enemies to spawn, especially during raids
- Fixed Child of Odin achievement not unlocking correctly
