Last week, on October 8th, we released our third major update, "Hounds of Zeus." If you have not reviewed the changelist for that update, you can do so in our last Steam News post here: Hounds of Zeus Changelist! It has been very exciting to see you all play the new content and to see all the new players in our Discord!

Today, we are here to specifically address some of the more common issues we have discovered since last week's update. If you do not see something you have reported in the list below, it is likely that we are still tracking and investigating the issue, and you will see the fix at a later time.
Hotfix 0.5.0.1
IMPROVEMENTS:
Updated the World Map to include navigation keybinds
VRAM overhead adjustments
Fixed an issue where the Simple Bucket would not fill properly
Fixed an issue where the Explosive Arrow recipe was not being awarded to existing players
Fixed an issue with the Hotbar not displaying properly after certain interactions
Fixed issues where players could not properly place custom markers on the World Map
This includes being able to place multiple custom markers
Fixed an issue where Mallards could spawn underwater
Fixed an issue with the Cook button when interacting with the Cooking Pot
Fixed an issue where the Salvage Bench would not break down early tier items
Fixed an issue where the Hide Helm setting would not save properly
Fixed an issue with scrolling in certain UI menus
Fixed a spelling error with the Hephaestus Forge description
Crash fixes
Possible that Hide Helm defaults to off for the first launch after hotfix
It should properly save afterwards
World Map keybinds also display on the Fast Travel map
These don’t function on the Fast Travel map, so we’ll remove them in a later update/hotfix
Simple Bucket still does not function at the Ancient Desert streams
The Simple Bucket will gather water at the oasis ponds, but not the streams leading to them
