Hotfix 1.4.2: quest blockers and missing dog reward
Quick answer
Hotfix 1.4.2 was published October 8. Remedy lists quest-progression fixes and restores the Every Dog Has Her Day Artifact reward, including retroactive delivery if you have not entered NG+. Install the current update and check your affected save. Kingy has verified the notes, not save recovery.
Quest-objective and boss-name spoilers follow. Remedy identifies regressions introduced by Update 1.4.0. The latest notes do not establish recovery of every existing save.
Issue
Remedy’s 1.4.2 fix
The House in Distress
Missing Zoe no longer blocks progression.
Gap exit after the Artist
Addresses being trapped after exiting to the main menu without using the ability-selection prompt.
Busken / Underhill dialogue
Addresses the unavailable dialogue after advancing the quest.
Every Dog Has Her Day
Restores the Artifact reward; retroactive delivery requires that the player has not entered NG+.
Firebreaker protection / escort tasks
Addresses an inactive Firebreaker and Ranger positions failing to reset.
Wallet Artifact and Burn
Fixes excessive Burn damage when Dylan runs out of Power with Wallet equipped.
Subtitles and localization
Fixes subtitle timing and localization issues across languages.
Remedy attributes both regressions to the October 1 update 1.4.0. The Park fix concerns eating Mold during its required quest step. The movement fix restores the Dash momentum handoff described under Elevate; the explanatory note also uses the name Surge. Do not infer an input combination from that naming.
Quest-objective spoilers follow. A patch note is not proof that every previously affected save recovers. Keep your existing save and record what happens after updating.
Install the latest available update and record the client’s displayed version and platform. The Park Mold fix was introduced in 1.4.1; the latest fetched notes are 1.4.2.
Load the affected save and photograph the current The Park objective.
Return to the required Mold interaction and use the prompt shown by your client.
Check that the quest advances. If it does not, record the prompt, location and current objective for Remedy support.
Use an open, familiar area and your existing movement bindings. Test the Dash-to-Elevate sequence that failed on your save; record whether momentum carries through. Kingy has not measured velocity or reproduced the regression.
The earlier 1.3.3 notes and known-issues list remain in the source ledger. Their quest reload workarounds do not establish a repair for The Park’s 1.4.0 regression. Avoid restarting the campaign on the strength of an old known-issues list.
Send Remedy your platform, installed version, quest objective, visible interaction prompt and repeatable steps. State which update first affected the save and whether the issue persists after 1.4.2. Do not restart the campaign or enter NG+ merely to try an unsupported recovery method.
