Launch watch / issue board

Halloween: The Game known issues

A compact issue board for launch problems with an evidence label on every row. Officially addressed does not mean universally gone.

Community + official

Short answer

The highest-signal problems are challenge or achievement tracking, story progress that may restart, crashes, login or matchmaking friction, and platform-specific performance reports. Patch 1.0.1 addresses several of these categories, but the board keeps post-patch player reports open until they are reproduced or answered by a later note.

Official status comes from the 1.0.1 patch notes. Examples of player leads: after-match results not counting and story chapters restarting.

Crashes or freezesCrash fixes are listed in 1.0.1, while the symptom remains worth checking if repeated.Pre-match, in-match, post-match timing and any platform error.Patch addressed
Login queue or matchmaking frictionLaunch-window player lead; not a confirmed offline mode.Region, party size, platform mix, and whether solo queue works.Needs verification

How to report a post-patch issue

  1. Use the exact symptom.“Challenge X did not register after the result screen” is more useful than “the game is broken.”
  2. Freeze the context.Write down platform, version, mode, chapter or map, and whether the party was cross-platform.
  3. Try one clean repeat.Repeat the smallest failing action once; do not manufacture certainty from a single network hiccup.
  4. Check the official notes again.If the category is listed as fixed but still fails, keep the report visible and versioned.

Known issues FAQ

Is there an official complete bug list?

The official launch post is the best primary source for the 1.0.1 changes. This page supplements it with clearly labeled player leads; it is not an official support tracker.

Can I fix a story save that restarted?

There is no verified universal workaround in this launch note. Record the chapter and platform, avoid promising that reinstalling will restore progress, and check later official updates.

Why does this page say both fixed and needs verification?

Those labels answer different questions: the patch says what the developer addressed, while a current player report says what may still be happening in the wild.
