Release fixes lookup: water, missing instructions, inspection losses and UI problems
Check the installed version before troubleshooting a launch bug. 1.0.0.2 changes water processing and fixes missing Gunsmith printer instructions, blackmailer payment and localized request UI. 1.0.0.1 addresses particular smuggler-container confiscations and several ultrawide/tutorial UI problems.

Match the symptom before changing your setup
| Symptom | Official version / change | Useful next action |
|---|---|---|
| Water machine behaves differently from a Demo guide | 1.0.0.2 reworks purifier logic | Use a fresh test and the water procedure |
| Gunsmith-start printer lacks instructions | 1.0.0.2 adds its instruction note | Check the version and current note before guessing a recipe |
| Enough cash but no blackmailer payment option | 1.0.0.2 fixes a missing-option bug | Preserve the dialogue and available cash if it persists |
| Localized marketplace request looks wrong | 1.0.0.2 fixes a non-English UI display problem | Separate display trouble from an unmet request; no universal turn-in workaround is confirmed |
| Appraisal information is behind a window on ultrawide | 1.0.0.1 corrects tooltip layering | Recheck on the updated version; it is not a valuation formula change |
| Tutorial hint remains after sleep, or pause is empty during travel | 1.0.0.1 fixes these specific UI states | Record the screen and event sequence if reproduced |
These are developer patch statements, not fixes we tested by reproducing the bugs. 1.0.0.1 · 1.0.0.2
Keep the two percentages separate
The Merchant’s discount is difficulty-dependent: 1.0.0.1 fixes the dialogue that always said 15%. Dr. Jackson’s stock markup on Normal changes from 25% to 15% in 1.0.0.2. One is not a universal rule for the other. Read the actual offer before deciding what a batch will earn. Merchant display · Jackson balance
A request button still refuses an item
The localized-request fix addresses appearance, not every reported turn-in failure. Check the exact request, item identity, quantity and the feedback shown. Keep those details with a screenshot if an apparently matching request remains unavailable. Do not buy more stock on the assumption that changing language or moving an item to an unspecified slot is a proven fix.
Inspection loss or Lou consequence?
Use the contraband guide for the specific container and reputation changes. A fix for an inspection bug does not promise recovery of lost items or make the trash permanent storage. Lou’s reporting consequence and her later non-shootable status are separate changes. 1.0.0.1 · 1.0.0.2
Make a persistent problem reproducible
Keep the displayed game version, scenario, difficulty, save origin, enabled mods, exact object names and the shortest event sequence. Capture the current UI and relevant overnight message, with private account details excluded. That record is more useful than repeating an older workaround whose build and inputs were never written down.
Check the official announcements for a later fix. “Latest checked” here means 29 October 2026, not a promise that development has stopped.
