Once Human 2.3.7 Bug Fixes Patch Notes (18th May 2026)
Once Human's 2.3.7 update is a targeted bug fix pass, cleaning up Chef class issues and a handful of broken interactables that had been frustrating players.
Given that the 2.3.8 update already dropped a Chef class overhaul alongside new weapons and free Starchrom, it would have been embarrassing to leave the Chef in a state where submitting dishes could outright fail or ingredients vanished into the Campfire Stove. The 2.3.7 patch, dated May 15, cleans that up across four separate Chef-related fixes, covering lost ingredients, failed dish submissions, Portable Fridges not applying correctly, and food durability displaying wrong when multiple fridges were in your pack.
Beyond the Chef fixes, two interactable objects were broken in the field: the Deviation Securement Box in Dangling Vessel Cove and the Core Loot Crate in Mirage Monolith Danger Zone both couldn't be interacted with at all. For players running those zones, that's a hard block on progression, so getting those sorted quickly was the right call. Grafting Catalysts also had a case where they'd refuse to activate, which is the sort of silent failure that makes you question whether you're doing something wrong before you realise it's a bug.
Smaller quality-of-life fixes round things out: abnormal scope glow on some weapons and a clipping issue with the Fallen Abyss Set. Nothing flashy, but a clean patch. Everything in the update is listed below.
