Moonlighter 2 updates and progression fixes by platform

Digital Sun says automatic detection can be delayed. If the version shown differs or the problem persists, record that exact version and symptom. The post does not establish a guaranteed performance improvement on every console or a save-reset fix.

1. Highlight Moonlighter 2 on the Nintendo Switch 2 HOME Menu.
2. Press the + Button.
3. Choose Software Update, then Via the Internet.
4. After the update check, compare the displayed version with the developer’s stated 1.0.43.3.

This is the developer’s suggested diagnostic, not a benchmarked Kingy preset. No particular GPU or graphics API is promised to be faster.

1. Install the current Steam update before comparing behavior.
2. Use the available DirectX 11/DirectX 12 choice to try the other API if you experience crashes or poor performance.
3. Repeat the same affected scene and note whether the result changes.

Several replies to Digital Sun's Switch 2 update post say Hidden Treasure objectives remained incomplete after the patch. The 11 bit studios account acknowledged the issue and said it was looking into it. These are reports within one discussion, not a measured failure rate or a developer-confirmed workaround.

Check the installed version using the HOME Menu steps above, keep the affected save, and record which objectives remain incomplete. The publisher's reply does not say to reset progress or promise that version 1.0.43.3 clears already affected quests. Player suggestions in the thread have not been verified by Kingy.

The September 10 Steam PC Hotfix 1 says it corrected a Weapon Mastery marker pointing to the wrong location. That patch note does not separately establish that every report of a missing Anacard or every previously affected save is repaired. Do not delete your save or treat an old map marker as a verified NPC location.

PS5 received a separately announced Hotfix 1, while Switch 2 has a separately identified 1.0.43.3 update. Those announcements do not prove that this exact quest behaves identically across consoles. An Xbox fix is not established by the sources checked here.

1. Record your platform, installed version, exact Weapon Mastery objective and where the marker points.
2. Check for the applicable platform update in the table above; on Steam PC, install Hotfix 1 or later before retrying the marker.
3. Reopen the quest map after updating. If Anacard is still absent, keep a screenshot of the marker and report the platform, build and last successful quest action to the developer's support channel.

The PC notes include a corrected Weapon Mastery quest marker, restored input in a later conversation, and a tutorial loading-screen fix when returning to Tresna. If one of those matches your problem, update and retry the affected action before following an old workaround.

If the block remains, keep the platform, exact version, quest name and last successful action together in your notes. A patch note reports a fix; it does not guarantee recovery of every previously affected save. Do not delete progress based on an unconfirmed workaround.
