He confirmed the presence of serious errors and reported that fixes are already in development. The reason for this was mass complaints about bugs and multiplayer failures that appeared on social networks and Reddit.
In a public statement, Barone wrote:
I am aware that there are some problems with the newly released version for Nintendo Switch 2. I take full responsibility for this error. We will fix it as soon as possible.
The most serious error is related to crafting items that require moss: when used, the game deletes unrelated items from the inventory — from torches and seaweed to geodes, rare collectibles, and dinosaur eggs. Players are advised to avoid such crafting until the patch is released.
Online co-op does not work for many users, while the local split screen remains available but is accompanied by control problems. Additional confusion was caused by a separate Switch 2 upgrade pack, necessary for mouse support and local multiplayer for four players — at the time of publication, it was unavailable in the European eShop.
Despite the problems, the Switch 2 version received mouse control, advanced multiplayer capabilities, and Game Share support. The game size increased from 1.6 to 2.3 GB. The release date of the patch has not been announced.
