Hotfix 5.0.1

is a hotfix for Update 5.0, released for Total War: Warhammer III on 3 May 2024.
== Hotfix Notes ==
Greetings folks,
Before we reach the weekend, we wanted to get a single line hotfix out to address a critical issue that we spotted earlier in the week for new players that are making their way through the Prologue. Hotfix 5.0.1 is now live for all users here on Steam, with other platforms following as soon as we’re able too.
For posterity, here’s the single fix that we’re addressing in this update:
*Fixed a soft-lock occurring in the prologue after Turn 5 when the tutorial was enabled
Note: Soft-locks are when the game continues to run, but you find yourself unable to continue your turn for unexpected reasons.
Whilst we’re here, we wanted to let you know that we are also aware of some further instability issues that have popped up since Update 5.0 dropped this week, to let you know that we’re working on these issues as priority, and that we hope to have an update on some further fixes for you next week.
One key crash that we’re currently aware of which has a loose workaround for it:
*A crash can occur when Vampires take a settlement with a Garden of Morr in it – If you currently experience this issue in your campaign, and don’t want to wait for our next Hotfix, we have found that you can temporarily work around the problem by razing your own Settlement before any Vampires arrive. We’ll be looking to address the issue next week so that you don’t have to do that!
We are otherwise aware of random occurrences of Malakai’s campaign becoming soft-locked at infrequent intervals, and understand that reloading to a prior turn and progressing as normal is sometimes successful bypassing that softlock. We’re again looking to address this issue, as well as any other key instability issues as soon as we can next week.
If you encounter any new issues with the game since Update 5.0, or want to stay up to date with the very latest information, do join us over on the official forums, where new issues are being tracked in our dedicated bugs sub-forum.
