Update 6 — changes and affected systems

Release record

Published 2026-09-21. Save/load reliability is the main focus: item and objective persistence, mission progression and interaction fixes. Arabic and Georgian were added. Named fixes do not guarantee recovery of every previously damaged save.

Player-visible changes

The issue guides below connect each official change to a specific symptom and safe checks. A patch announcement records what the developer addressed; it is not a guarantee that every old save is recoverable.

1. Mission save state: Saving at certain points during a mission could prevent any further progression. The official note groups affected missions without assigning each failure to every named job.
2. Loading-screen artwork: An outdated logo appeared on side-quest loading screens; the developer removed it in Update 6.
3. Fuses: The developer improved fuse insertion in Update 6; the note does not specify a universal cause for every failed insertion.
4. Fuses: The developer improved fuse removal in Update 6, separately from fixing objectives related to removing fuses.
5. Inventory: A bought item was present before saving but absent after loading.
6. Object placement: An item placed in the room disappears when the save is loaded.
7. Car trunk: Contents that were stored in the car vanish after a load.
8. Assembly: A previously installed object appears partly assembled again after loading.
9. Electrical wiring: Electrical cable work reverts or becomes blocked after a load.

20. Screwdriver: Required unscrewing is not recognized as complete.
21. Fuses: The fuse is removed but its objective remains open.
22. Side jobs: The new-side-jobs message appears without a corresponding useful change.

Before retesting

Let Steam finish updating and preserve the save that reproduces the issue. Compare one action at a time and report a new regression with the installed build and exact objective.
