No Rest for the Wicked Devs Address Top Concerns After Launch

No Rest for the Wicked is out, but there are a few issues the devs want to fix.

By Ricky Frech

Developer Moon Studios made its name creating Ori and the Blind Forest and its sequel Will of the Wisps. Both games showed off the team's skill for precise puzzle platforming and Metroidvania design. So it was a surprise when Moon Studios announced its next game would be an action RPG with four-player co-op called No Rest for the Wicked. The game launched into early access on April 18th and was immediately met with sales success. Given the studio's pedigree, that's not much of a surprise, but No Rest for the Wicked is a little rough around the edges. Fortunately, Moon Studios has plenty of time to fix the game's issues during early access. 

After launch the team published all of the known issues, giving players a better idea of what changes to expect during the early days of early access development. As you'd expect from a game so early in development, many of No Rest for the Wicked's upcoming changes are technical. That includes everything from visual glitches to more aspect ratios to the addition of a pause button in single-player games. The team has also provided a few workarounds for issues with collision, unexpected progression loss, and controller support. If you're having problems with any of those aspects, it's worth looking through the fixes to see if any solve it for you.

Below, you'll find the full list of known issues and fixes following launch. No Rest for the Wicked is available now in early access on PC.

    • You can set Quality Presets as well as other options in the SETTINGS menu to help improve frame rate.
    • Installing No Rest for the Wicked on an SSD is highly recommended.
  • Being able to pause the game in single player

Known Issues with Solutions:

  • Collision: There may be instances where you can get stuck or fall through the world. If you end up stuck, exit to the main menu, go to your realm in the realms menu and use theCONTINUE FROM LAST WHISPER option to spawn back at the last whisper you activated.
  • Unexpected Progression Loss: If you lose progression for any reason, exit to the main menu, go to your realm in the realms menu and use BACKUPS to go back to an earlier save in your realm.
  • Controller Support: If you encounter issues with your controller not working in-game, check if Steam Input is Enabled in Steam.
    • Playstation controllers are known to only work with Steam Input Enabled.
