Going into details about theChained Echoesgame-breaking bugwould mean venturing into spoiler territory, but the gist of it is that it would trap players on a waterfall screen, making it impossible for them to continue the game. Those with fairly recent save files were able to reload an old save and continue that way, but others were out of luck and were faced with starting over from scratch or waiting for a patch. Luckily,Chained EchoesUpdate 1.05 addresses the waterfall bug, making it so players can continue playing like normal. If players load their save and still find themselves trapped at the waterfall even after downloading the update, moving their character around should rectify the issue, according to messages in the game’s official Discord channel.
