Forest Escape: Last Train v0.57 Fixes Inventory Loss and Invisible Teammates

Two Cakes Studio has released v0.57 for Forest Escape: Last Train, a patch focused on stability and quality-of-life corrections.

What changed

Fixes:

  • Resolved a rare crash that could occur after joining a lobby under poor network conditions.
  • Fixed a separate network-related crash triggered when a lobby closed while delayed packets were still being processed.
  • Corrected an issue where players could lose their entire inventory after loading a save or dying — a particularly disruptive bug in a survival-adjacent title.
  • Fixed teammates and enemies occasionally turning invisible.

Improvements:

  • The Music Rail puzzle has been redesigned for what the studio describes as a more engaging and rewarding experience.
  • Unlocked character skins now persist between sessions, removing the need to re-unlock them after restarting.

Ongoing issues acknowledged:

  • Connecting to Online Services remains unavailable.
  • Lobby connections may fail on unstable or interrupted internet connections.

Two Cakes Studio also notes that players still encountering a save-data issue — spawning far from the train — should reach out via the game's Discord server for a manual fix.

For a game in early development, the inventory-loss correction is the headline repair; losing progression on death or reload is the kind of friction that drives players away before a title finds its footing.
