Patch desk ยท current through 1.2.7
This desk separates developer-confirmed fixes from community workarounds. Start with the game version and objective state before reinstalling, deleting, or overwriting anything.
Update the game, then repeat the quest dialogue with every NPC who is not crossed off in the objective list.
The developer states that affected players must redo only the unfinished conversations.
Open source โInstall 1.2.7 and reload the affected save. The fixed case involved a Gramophone positioned in certain spots before the upgraded house started a new night.
Do not delete the save before testing it on the fixed version.
Open source โConfirm all 100 quest Vampsters were returned, update the game, and advance one in-game day.
The patch notes say previously completed collections should trigger the achievement retrospectively after a day advances.
Open source โUpdate before advancing the affected relationship route further, then recheck Luna's shop inventory.
The documented bug could make animals permanently unavailable after a Pumpkin Head heart event.
Open source โStop overwriting the slot, update first, and retry from the newest available backup or cloud copy. Avoid closing the game while its save indicator is active.
Patch 1.1.41 restored a class of missing saves; 1.1.44 fixed corruption caused by exiting while saving. Neither note guarantees recovery for every damaged file.
Open source โClose the game, disable mods, relaunch, unlock the cellar doors and save, then test the mods again only after the route is open.
This workaround is documented by the community-maintained official Wiki, not a developer patch guarantee.
Open source โProtect the evidence
When a progression issue survives the latest patch, preserve the current slot and record the quest name, objective text, game version, platform, and whether mods are installed before reporting it.
Collection or bug?
The database checklists make missing fish, critters, Vampsters, and Steam objectives visible without guessing.
Fast answers
Check the installed game version, preserve a backup, remove mods for one controlled test, and compare the exact objective state with the latest official patch notes.
A reinstall is not the first diagnostic step. Preserve local and cloud save copies before changing installation state, because recovery depends on the specific platform and damaged file.
First verify the full count in the matching database. For Back to the Den specifically, the official patch instructions require advancing one in-game day after all 100 Vampsters are returned.
They can complicate diagnosis. The official Wiki documents a Catacombs case where disabling mods for the unlock-and-save step resolved the blocked doors.
