Enshrouded Reveals First Major Update, Full Patch Notes

Enshrouded's first big update includes several highly requested fixes.

By Ricky Frech

Enshrouded has quickly burst on the scene to become the second major early access hit of 2024 following Palworld's release. The two games share some DNA given that they're both survival games, but Enshrouded takes the genre to a magical fantasy land. Enshrouded quickly ran past one million copies sold and doesn't seem to be slowing down anytime soon. Because of that enormous support, the developers at Keen Games have had to release several hotfix patches to quickly iron out game-breaking bugs. Today, the developers took it a step further by introducing the first major patch for Enshrouded, which includes a host of fixes for various issues and updates on several features.

One of the larger changes in this first major patch for Enshrouded is an update to the in-game content timer. Now, the world will update every 30 minutes as long as there are no players "in the direct vicinity of the part of the world that needs resetting." The team has also made many other smaller changes that are no less important. For example, players will now be able to correctly unlock the recipe to make a rake, and the cost of Tin Bars has lowered to even out progression.  

Below, you'll find the full patch notes for this first major update. Enshrouded is available now on PC. 

Enshrouded Major Update 1 Patch Notes

Greetings Flameborn!

Here is our first big patch for Enshrouded. Thanks to all of you who reported issues, your support is as helpful as it is motivating for us!

For those of you playing with dedicated servers, you will need to ensure the server is running the same version as the game.

Known issue

"Not enough system memory available" error message on game startThis error message triggers when your machine has under 16GB of RAM. It is there to warn you that your experience will probably be pretty bad.
You can bypass by adding "--disable-ram-check" to the game's launch options via Steam to ignore the warning. Keep in mind that if your computer is below specs, it might not be able to run the game in the long run, once we've added all the features we have in mind for Enshrouded!

Gameplay
