Short answer
Use Update 0.5.169 as the first version boundary. It added Explorer mode and several quality-of-life changes, including an Inventory marker for quest items. Recent community topics still mention map, loot, repair, stamina, and quest behavior; those are leads, not automatic bug diagnoses.
Launch log
The table keeps patch notes and player reports in different lanes. That distinction matters in Early Access: a report can be real and still have no confirmed workaround.

How to turn a report into an answer
- Capture the exact symptom.Use the player's wording, then add the screen, item, quest, or action that failed.
- Pin the version.Patch notes and SteamDB change dates are context; the game build used for a reproduction is the useful test field.
- Try one controlled repeat.Change one variable—save, mode, location, or durability threshold—so the result can be compared.
- Publish the state.Use Patch-backed, Community report, or Needs verification. Never turn a community answer into a guaranteed fix without evidence.
Known-issues FAQ
Is every item in this table a confirmed bug?
No. Only the patch-backed rows are confirmed changes. The remaining rows are recent community reports that need a versioned reproduction.
Where should I send a new bug report?
The official launch announcement says Scavland has an in-game Feedback button and points players to the community. Use the developer's official channels rather than treating this fan page as support.
Will this page list every issue?
No. It stays focused on repeated launch questions that can become useful answer pages: markers, quests, inventory, loot, repairs, and performance.
