Broken item reappears after loading

Match the symptom

An object that was broken returns after loading.

Check before changing your save

Check whether this is the same object at the same position and whether the destruction objective reverted.

1. Confirm Steam has completed all available updates.
2. Check whether this is the same object at the same position and whether the destruction objective reverted.
3. Save evidence before breaking the respawned item again.

Official fix versus your current save

The developer's Update 6 note establishes a historical fix for this symptom. It does not publish a universal recovery command or prove that a previously damaged save will repair itself. This guide has not independently retested your save.

Recovery decision

Save evidence before breaking the respawned item again.

1. If the installed game is older than the named patch, update and retest the same action.
2. If the issue persists, try an existing known-good save without overwriting the failing one.
3. If it repeats, report breakable objects, the exact objective, installed build and reproduction steps to the developer's Steam discussion board.
