Chained Beasts Fixes: Co-op Achievements and Offline Startup
The official launch follow-up reports fixes for host-only achievement awards, offline splash-screen stalls and Twitch polls. Balance and progression changes are described separately as future work.
Updated 2026-10-20 · Steam launch build / official notes checked Oct 20, 2026 · Research & source notes
Match the symptom to the note
The developer's launch follow-up reports these fixes:
| Symptom | Released fix described by the developer |
|---|---|
| Only the host earns certain co-op achievements | Multiplayer award behavior corrected |
| The opening splash screen does not progress while offline | Offline launch issue resolved |
| Twitch polls sometimes never end | Poll-completion issue corrected |
The post does not attach a numeric patch version to these three items. We therefore identify it by its title and source link rather than inventing a build number.
Retest without mixing variables
Our recommendation is to write down your build and one reproducible case, apply the available update through your normal store, then repeat the same case. For a co-op problem, ask both host and guest to record what happened. For a startup problem, distinguish failing before the menu from failing while joining a session.
A reported fix does not guarantee that an achievement earned in an older run will be awarded retroactively. Do not erase a save or reinstall the game as a default response to a missing unlock.
Plans are not patch notes
The same post discusses upcoming balance work, November progression improvements and December content. The earlier roadmap also discusses future PvP. Those statements are intentions, and this page does not label them as installed features. If your issue remains after updating, include the symptom, build and session type when using the official community support channel.
