Our Enshrouded patch notes timeline article keeps track of how the popular survival game has evolved since it launched into early access. Although it released soon after Palworld, reclaiming the realm of Embervale proved appealing enough to plenty of players who are still actively adventuring and building their homes across its several biomes.
Enshrouded’s patch notes timeline started with several hotfixes meant to quickly address pressing issues following the game’s early access launch. As time passes, major patches are sure to follow, leading up to its full launch and beyond.
Enshrouded Patch Notes Timeline - Update #1 v0.7.0.1
The first big patch for Enshrouded was released on the 6th of February. If you’re using dedicated servers, it’s crucial to make sure that the server version matches the game version you are playing. Patch Update #1 v0.7.0.1 can now be downloaded from Steam. The file size is 103MB.

Enshrouded Patch Notes Hotfix 8
Hotfix 1 arrived on January 24, coinciding with the title’s early access launch. It addressed the server list crashes players were facing at the time.
On the same day, hotfix 2 tackled several other crashes while fixing an issue that could see the session invite popup remaining on the screen for too long.
January 25, 2024 brought with it hotfix 3, which addressed additional crashes, allowed CPUs that do not support AVX to host sessions with more than 2 players, and more.
The next day, hotfix 5 fixed a rare issue that could lead to world and character save data failing to update correctly. Its patch notes confirmed that the fourth hotfix was silent.
January 30, 2024 gave us hotfix 6, which improved save data stability, fixed an issue that could cause stutters, while overall improving in-game “out of stamina” notifications.
Hotfix 7 then addressed several issues related to level design the following day.
7th February, 2024 gave us Hotfix 8 which addresses the warning message that would appear for some users, particularly those with computer specifications below the system requirements for running Enshrouded.
Users now have the option to bypass this message instead of the game closing. However, Keen Games cautions that running the game on underpowered hardware may result in crashes or suboptimal performance.
Enshrouded’s patch notes timeline will certainly expand over the coming weeks and months, as more hotfixes and updates further improve the survival game.
