Iron Blight Patch 1.03 Fixes Softlocks, Weapon Bugs, and Map Navigation

Published 31 August 2026, Patch 1.03 for Iron Blight arrives with a focused list of corrections across inventory, combat, navigation, and save reliability.

What changed

Fixes and updates confirmed by the developer:

• Area labels added to the overview map in Prasnova
• Invisible walls placed on stairways to prevent players becoming stuck
• The Spitter mutant now more consistently halts its spitting attack after taking heavy damage
• Mouse sensitivity settings load correctly on launch
• Players can only pick up backpacks that offer an upgrade, preventing duplicate inventory items
• Sickness and low-health effects made more pronounced
• Puzzle object positions and rotations are no longer saved between sessions
• A save trigger added after a specific door in the Dormitory to prevent a softlock
• Dormitory save triggers can now fire multiple times, reducing the run back to exit stairs
• Fixed a bug where Quick Heal could leave the weapon lowered and unable to fire
• Physics engine framerate increased
• Vodka now cures a greater amount of sickness

Potential fixes under observation:

• Custom keybinds failing after a game restart
• Elevator stopping shortly after moving, potentially corrupting the save
• Certain doors rotating in the wrong direction
• Mutants attacking erroneously when transitioning to calm or fleeing states

The patch addresses several issues that could halt progress outright — particularly the Dormitory softlock and the elevator save corruption — making this a meaningful update for anyone mid-run in Prasnova.
