Quasimorph Patch 1.0.1 Notes

Quasimorph Patch 1.0.1 shipped on Steam around August 7–8, 2026, immediately after the first-week Post-1.0 Hotfixes builds 1.0.561 and 1.0.562. Magnum Scriptum framed the update as the promised interface and difficulty clarity pass that followed launch — not a content expansion, but a broad quality-of-life sweep across inventory, Magnum trading, mission briefing, implants, enemy behavior, camera controls, perk text, equipment presets, and Korean localization. This page is an unofficial wiki digest; Steam news posts remain authoritative for exact build strings, wording, and any hotfix revisions that land after publication.

If you are catching up from Quasimorph Patch 1.0 Release Notes, treat 1.0.1 as the bridge between day-one stability fixes and the longer Post-Launch Roadmap horizon — Q4 Bestiary work and 2027 DLC are still ahead. Save rules did not change: default Early Access saves remain incompatible with the 1.0 main branch; Unstable Beta slots may still load. Backup %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Magnum Scriptum\Quasimorph\ before testing betas.

Inventory and item management overhaul

The largest player-facing change in 1.0.1 is a full inventory and item management rework. Magnum Scriptum reorganized how clones carry, sort, and deploy kit between station lockers, shuttle cargo, and on-mission grids. Expect fewer nested clicks when moving stacks between the Magnum hold and personal slots, clearer weight and volume feedback before you accept a contract, and more consistent drag-and-drop behavior when you strip a dead enemy or consolidate medkits after a messy extract.

The overhaul does not rewrite crafting recipes or faction loot tables — it changes how fast you can act under pressure. Players who lived in spreadsheets during Early Access should re-read Bartering on the Magnum and Trade Shuttle Guide because the trading screen changes below pair with cleaner inventory flows. If you run keyboard-heavy sessions, confirm your muscle memory against the updated Keyboard Controls page; some inventory hotkeys may sit on refined bindings after the UI pass.

Additional inventory and interface QoL

Beyond the hotkeys documented on Keyboard Controls, Patch 1.0.1 ships several Steam-note quality tweaks that reward disciplined looting and prep:

• Failed wound treatment bonus — a botched bandage, splint, or medkit attempt grants +5% success on your next treatment of the same wound category, reducing streaky RNG deaths when supplies are thin.
• Container and corpse highlighting — inspected lockers and bodies read differently from uninspected ones, so you can sweep a room and spot untouched loot without opening every panel twice.
• NPC augment and implant display on examine — right-click inspection now surfaces installed corporate or syndicate mods on humanoids and robots, closing the gap between HUD implant icons and what enemies actually carry.
• Magnum upgrade plus sign hidden when resources are insufficient — production and ship upgrade buttons no longer tease purchases you cannot afford, which cuts mis-clicks during frantic pre-mission crafting.
• Production default max stack size — queueing crafts on the Magnum now defaults to the maximum legal stack for the recipe, saving clicks when you bulk-build ammo, medkits, or Phase Bomb components.

For step-by-step looting workflows, tab cycling, and weight discipline, continue with Inventory Management.

Trading screen and station demand clarity

1.0.1 delivers the trading screen improvement Magnum Scriptum teased between hotfixes: the UI now surfaces which items the selected station will accept without forcing you to cross-reference secondary demand lists. That directly addresses one of the most common post-launch complaints from barter grinders — selling the wrong stack at a reputation penalty or missing a high-value demand slot because the Magnum UI hid acceptable categories.

Use the refreshed screen alongside existing wiki routing: Bartering on the Magnum for reputation floors and faction standing traps, and Trade Shuttle Guide for the three commerce modes (barter by type, reputation sell, proxy cargo) that 1.0 already shipped. 1.0.1 clarifies presentation, not the underlying economy math.

Mission tooltips, skull difficulty, and Solar System context

Contract briefing received two linked upgrades:

• Mission and station tooltips now carry richer context — faction tags, objective hints, and prep reminders appear closer to where you click, reducing back-and-forth between the galaxy map and Magnum logs.
• Skull difficulty display is clearer relative to the Solar System — the patch aligns how danger icons read against your current sector progression so a three-skull Mars contract does not look identical to a three-skull outer-system job when your clone is under-geared.

Pair the new tooltips with Choosing Contracts for beneficiary-versus-victim side logic and Difficulty Settings if you are still calibrating horror meters, stance costs, and examine value on Medium or Hard presets. Skull icons are guidance, not guarantees — always pack composite damage and medkits before you trust a softened tooltip.

Difficulty selection and mission preparation UI

Magnum Scriptum also shipped the difficulty selection and mission preparation polish announced after 1.0.562:

• Difficulty presets are easier to compare at a glance — new players can spot a more forgiving starting point without digging through nested options menus.
• The Start button on mission prep is more prominent, reducing mis-clicks when you meant to swap beneficiary faction or review kit.
• Beneficiary faction labeling is clearer during side selection, so conflict contracts show who pays you versus who you undermine before you commit a clone.

These changes do not remove Quasimorph’s systemic cruelty on higher presets; they reduce UI friction that made week-one players abandon runs after picking the wrong side. Revisit Difficulty Settings before you assume Normal still matches your Early Access memory.

Active implants on the HUD

Active implants — corporate and syndicate body mods that tick during combat — now appear on the HUD instead of burying status in secondary panels. That matters for Augmentations and Body Mods builds where regeneration, pain suppression, or pact-linked side effects decide whether you stabilize or bleed out on the evac timer.

HUD placement does not add new augmentation slots or recipes; it makes existing installs readable mid-fight. If you run minimal HUD clutter, verify options menus after updating — some players may want to toggle auxiliary implant icons separately from stance and horror meters.

Enemy AI, camera, minimap, perks, and presets

Secondary but noticeable 1.0.1 improvements include:

• Enemy AI improvements — smarter flanking, clearer intent on upgraded stations, and fewer cases where robots or pact-mutated grunts stand idle after a floor transition. Combat fundamentals in Combat Stances still apply; AI polish reduces cheap deaths, not tactical demand.
• Camera and minimap quality of life — smoother rotation bounds, clearer floor markers, and minimap zoom behavior that matches multi-floor RealWare and Tezctlan layouts more consistently.
• Clearer perk tooltips — class and storyline perks now explain triggers, durations, and stacking rules in plainer language. Cross-check unchanged numbers against Classes Hub if you theory-craft unlock order.
• Streamlined equipment presets — saving and swapping loadout templates on the Magnum is faster, with fewer confirmation dialogs when you duplicate a kit for a second clone.

Korean localization fixes

1.0.1 includes a Korean localization pass fixing mistranslations, overflow text, and inconsistent terminology introduced during the 1.0 string freeze. Korean players should re-check tutorial prompts and pact rite descriptions after updating; English wiki pages remain the reference for mechanics until community KO guides catch up.

Relationship to hotfixes and roadmap

Timeline for returning players:

1. July 31, 2026 — Patch 1.0 full launch.
2. Early August — Hotfixes 1.0.561 / 1.0.562 for FPS defaults, Stonecrusher armor identity, RealWare softlocks, and mission UI bugs.
3. August 7–8, 2026 — Patch 1.0.1 delivers the announced trading, difficulty, mission-prep, inventory, and HUD work.

The Post-Launch Roadmap still targets Q4 2026 Bestiary consolidation and 2027 DLC — 1.0.1 clears several Q3 QoL promises but does not ship the in-game Bestiary or new story arcs.

Save compatibility unchanged

Patch 1.0.1 does not migrate incompatible Early Access saves:

• Default EA saves — still not compatible with the 1.0 main branch.
• Unstable Beta saves — may still load; verify storyline flags after updating.
• Achievements — console commands still invalidate trophy eligibility.

Treat 1.0.1 as a client update atop existing 1.0 campaigns, not a reason to expect old branch slots to suddenly work.
