Crashes, controls, and saves

Auroch's FAQ, last updated 10 November 2026, lists three known issues: chest animations, the Switch Pro d-pad on Switch 2, and a Windows load error. Hotfix 2.1.6 followed on 11 November.

Official notes, then the hotfix

You cannot skip a chest animation until you have seen the first chest of that rarity. After that, right click, Esc, or the B button skips it. On Switch 2, the Switch Pro controller's d-pad can fail in menus. The FAQ says to use the stick. Failed to load il2cpp is tied to Windows Smart App Control. The FAQ's step is to turn Smart App Control off.

Hotfix 2.1.6, Steam first and other platforms the following week, lets any key skip the chest sequence, weakens an untouchable Plague Marine variant and Meganobz, lowers kill counts for two paint pots tied to D6 Dice and Nuln Oil, fixes chests falling out of reach on Gallowdark and Imperial Bastion, restores Frag Grenades on the rescued Legend of Catachan, stops a leftover poison cloud from Mork's Mighty Mushroom, and restores the defeat prompt after an Extremis loss.

Google Play reviews, which are player reports rather than patch notes, mention lost progress when the phone locks, a stick bug, no toggle for auto-rotate, and quiet maximum volume. Saves: Steam and Xbox list cloud saves. A local save-folder path was not published.

There is no official cheat code or trainer entry in the FAQ, and this page will not add one.
