Quick answer
- Update to 1.12.01 first. Furniture disappearance, moving-object climbing, glass lighting, floating terrain near Sanctum of Faith, and Skunky disappearance are listed as fixed.
- The official Known Issues notice still flags character, faction-quest, passenger, and PlayStation text-entry problems. Use manual saves and avoid forcing progress through a broken state.
- Workarounds below are deliberately low risk: change character, leave and reload, slow an input, or postpone the affected step. They do not modify files or recommend bypass tools.
A known-issues page is only useful when it distinguishes “still active” from “fixed in the latest hotfix.” Patch 1.12.01 closed five visible regressions, but the separate Known Issues notice still lists problems that can affect particular characters and quest states.
Last checked: June 22, 2026, against Pearl Abyss’s Known Issues notice updated June 20 at 02:10 UTC and the official 1.12.01 hotfix notes.
Problems already fixed in 1.12.01
- Outdoor furniture disappearing in certain situations.
- Failure to climb moving objects in certain situations.
- Unnatural lighting on glass materials.
- Floating terrain on the path to the Sanctum of Faith.
- Skunky disappearing after placement at camp.
If one of these still occurs, confirm your platform actually received 1.12.01. Epic Games Store and Mac App Store were still marked as in progress in the hotfix notice when this page was checked.
Character and faction-quest caution
The current notice flags situations involving Damiane or Oongka, including faction-quest progression. Before starting a sensitive quest interaction, make a manual save and switch back to Kliff. If an objective stops updating, do not keep completing unrelated steps in the same save state. Leave the area, reload the manual save, and retry the interaction as Kliff.
Damiane Shield Toss caution
A Shield Toss-related Damiane issue is serious enough to treat conservatively. Avoid repeatedly reproducing it in an important save. Test combat changes in a rematch or low-stakes encounter, keep a manual save from before the fight, and stop using the affected combination if it produces an abnormal death or state.
Legendary Animal passenger problems
The official list also warns about a passenger-related issue during Legendary Animal content. Before accepting or transporting a passenger, save outside the activity. If the passenger or marker stops behaving normally, return to the pre-activity save rather than carrying the broken state across fast travel and other quests.
PlayStation virtual keyboard input
Rapid text entry can cause trouble with the PlayStation virtual keyboard. Enter text slowly, wait for the field to update, and confirm once. If the screen stops responding, back out before submitting repeated inputs and reopen the field.
Safe troubleshooting order
- Confirm the platform rollout and game version.
- Create a new manual save without overwriting your last known-good save.
- Check the official Known Issues notice for the exact activity or character.
- Retry once after leaving the area or restarting the game.
- Change to Kliff for quest interactions that fail as Damiane or Oongka.
- Stop when the same failure repeats; report the platform, quest, character, and save state.
What not to do
- Do not use Cheat Engine or save editors to push a quest flag forward.
- Do not overwrite the only pre-bug save.
- Do not reinstall before checking whether your storefront rollout is still pending.
- Do not assume a problem listed in an old 1.12.00 article remains active after 1.12.01.
