SCUM Hotfix - 1.3.2.1 Patch Notes (22nd July 2026)

The July Update brought plenty to SCUM, but it also brought server crashes, vanishing vehicle locks, and weapons that wouldn't aim straight. Hotfix 1.3.2.1 lands today to sand down the roughest edges.

The stability fixes are the headline here: a server crash that hit when players disconnected too fast, a client crash triggered when someone ate the last bite of your shared meal, and high-speed driving crashes that could tank your frame rate. Those three alone should make the island feel less hostile to your hardware.

Beyond crashes, vehicle bugs get real attention. Locks were disappearing after removal, the Dinghy was inaccessible at certain spawn points, and bases weren't actually protecting you from players accessing vehicles through floors from other levels. Weapon alignment issues also get sorted. The Blackline Compound Bow sight, VHS2 camera clipping, and Ripper Bow offset aiming are all corrected. Inventory friction points vanish too: Cargo Drops now accept loot transfers, clothing space values align properly, and quest descriptions actually tell you what you're getting. The full list includes every weapon sight fix and every inventory correction.
