Known issues:
Thralls placed in the world will end up being naked after patching
Thralls that are in storage or player inventory when game is patched will visually have their original armor after being placed in the world, but will have no armor equipped. This is just a visual bug. Adding armor pieces to thrall will clear the bug for the slot being equipped. Restarting singleplayer game or dedicated server after thralls are placed will also remove visual glitch (which will make placed thralls naked)
An animation glitch might occurr if you move weapons from thrall to thrall.
Restarting the multiplayer server/local game should clear this
Taking a weapon from a thrall placed in the world prior to patching may result in a visual glitch similar to "Arrow in my wrist", where a visual representation of their weapon will remain in their hands despite no weapon being equipped. The issue is cleared after restarting your server or local game
If your client is crashing during "preparing character" try removing mods and verifying the installation files
You are currently unable to harvest crystal.
