SCUM's studio released hotfix 1.3.6.1.177547 on November 12, 2026 to roll back a vehicle networking change from the November Update. We want your field reports: did it fix what you saw in your game?
Video: "SCUM 1.0 CINEMATIC LAUNCH TRAILER 4K", official SCUM Game YouTube channel, published June 17, 2025. It is the version 1.0 launch trailer, not a video about this hotfix: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcLxrICgixU
What the official announcement says (read November 12, 2026, Paris time): the rollback is meant to address new vehicle movement and physics issues. Some earlier collision issues return. Known vehicle issues listed by the studio: vehicles can be launched into the air after certain edge-case collisions, and vehicle damage can vary more than expected in some collisions. The studio is still testing a revised solution. The hotfix also restores chat message colors, fixes first/third-person switching while driving, and corrects Steam's default controller template. If your controller still misbehaves after earlier Steam Input changes, the official step is: Steam Library, right-click SCUM, Properties, Controller, set Override for SCUM to Use default settings, then restart the game.
Our questions:
- Vehicles: before the hotfix, what did your cars or bikes do (unexpected movement, rubber-banding, odd physics)? Is it gone now? Which vehicle, single-player or which server type?
- Collisions: have you seen a vehicle launched into the air or odd damage since the rollback? Describe the collision.
- Controller: which model do you use, and did it work automatically after the hotfix? Did you need the Override step above?
- Chat: are message colors back for you?
- Linux, Steam Deck or Steam Machine: if you join servers through Proton, how does it run for you? Please tell us your device and what you tested.
- Did you report your issue to SCUM Support or the Steam bug report forum? What would you like the studio to communicate about the revised vehicle fix?
