Bugsnax Update 2.04 Patch Notes
We’ve been made aware of a bug in the Isle of BIGsnax boss battle that can block progression. We’re working to fix it ASAP. In the meantime, a workaround is to avoid manually redeploying the Buggy Ball from your inventory until it reappears on its own for the final phase.
Here are the patch notes for Bugsnax update 2.00.

- Continued in-progress support for Windows touchscreen.
- Player
- Trip Shot more accurately goes off when fast-moving objects pass through.
- Trip Shot improved physics stability and placement.
- Snakgrappler is more lenient in grabbing items.
- Strabby Ball works more consistently when entering hiding holes.
- Snap Trap radius visualization reduced in height to improve fill rate performance issues on slower systems.
- Jumping/crouching is disabled for a few seconds until movement is detected, to prevent spamming dialogue skip leading to erroneous jump/crouch.
- PS5: Strabby Ball laser trigger vibration switches to controller vibration when fully pressed.
- Bugsnax Changes
- Lollive animation and behavior corrections.
- Pinkle respawn graphical and behavior corrections.
- Legendary bugsnax no longer respawn after using beds to pass time.
- Bug Fixes
- Performance improvements to the final encounter due to spawned bugsnax being stored invisibly in one physical location.
- Improvements to player arms animation when moving between different states of holding traps and performing actions.
- An issue where save could be temporarily locked into completing Daddy Cake Legs.
- An issue where tutorial Bunger could be led from its spawn area, soft locking the game.
- An issue where Cromdo would not go to the karaoke spot.
- Stability fixes to Chandlo’s weight dropping challenge.

- Reduce occurrence of erroneously ‘sensed’ Bugsnax silhouettes from showing in journal before they are visible.
- An issue where Bugsnax would not run away during Gramble’s sidequest.
- Grumpuses transformed in the end game sequences no longer trigger trophies.
- In some circumstances, restoring the game after the ending fails and a backup method is used. Grumpus transformations will now be redundantly stored and should restore properly even in this failure recovery method, whereas previously grumpuses may have retained endgame modifications.

- Ability to prioritize load all game files (models, textures, XML files) in zip files.
- Ability to load additional FMOD projects and prioritize playing mod sound events over original files.
