Patch Notes 0.13.19

Hotfix 0.13.19: fixes cave, tomb, and secret realm position softlocks. Already stuck? Use Shuo Guang Yin (溯光阴) to reload the previous story node after updating.

Overview

LeiYun Games shipped version 0.13.19 as a targeted hotfix shortly after 0.13.18 — addressing a critical progression blocker where entering certain caves (洞穴), ancient tombs (古墓), and secret realms (秘境) could trigger abnormal position state and softlock the game.

This is a single-fix emergency patch. Update Steam immediately before entering Underground Training zones, Liuyun Secret Realm, Blood Sea Secret Realm, or any multi-floor dungeon.

The Fix

Fixed: Abnormal position when entering cave, tomb, and secret realm locations that caused hard freezes or unresponsive UI.

New saves on 0.13.19+ should no longer hit this bug when transitioning into dungeon entrances. The fix complements earlier Underground Training work in patches 0.10.4 (entrance markers) and 0.13.14 (Blood Sea access changes).

If You Are Already Stuck (Critical Recovery)

LeiYun's official announcement states that affected saves require Shuo Guang Yin (溯光阴) — the in-game time-reversal artifact — to load the previous story checkpoint (载入上一剧情节点). Simply updating the game may not automatically teleport you out of a corrupted position.

  1. Update to 0.13.19 via Steam
  2. Open the Shuo Guang Yin (溯光阴) interface from the main menu or in-game artifact panel
  3. Select the most recent story node before entering the broken dungeon
  4. Confirm reload — you will lose progress after that checkpoint, but regain control
  5. Back up the repaired save at %USERPROFILE%/AppData/LocalLow/XiaMenLeiYun/Zaohua before re-entering the dungeon

Shuo Guang Yin handles narrative checkpoints, not cloud sync corruption — see Save & Cloud Backup guide for file-level backups. Cultivation context: Cultivation Realms documents the artifact's role in missed Heavenly Foundation windows.

Affected Content (What to Watch)

  • Underground Training lower floors — cave and tomb sub-entrances beneath secret realms
  • Blood Sea Secret Realm (血海秘境) — high-traffic post-0.13.14 zone; see Underground Training
  • Abandoned Spirit Herb Garden (废弃灵药园) — underground farming zone fixed in 0.10.4, now covered by position fix
  • Liuyun Secret Realm (流云秘境) — Heavenly Foundation material route; see Secret Realms map guide
  • General cave/tomb transitions — any glowing entrance marker added in 0.10.4

Prevention Checklist

  • Update to 0.13.19 before dungeon days — do not enter new secret realms on 0.13.18 if avoidable
  • F8 quick-save before every dungeon entrance transition
  • Export manual save folder copy before Blood Sea floor 3 or multi-floor tomb descents
  • If the screen freezes after clicking enter, do not force-quit repeatedly — update first, then use Shuo Guang Yin

Frequently Asked Questions

What did patch 0.13.19 fix?

Abnormal position softlocks when entering caves, ancient tombs, and secret realms — a hard-freeze progression bug.

I am already stuck in a dungeon. What do I do?

Update to 0.13.19, then use Shuo Guang Yin (溯光阴) to load the previous story checkpoint before the broken entrance.

Does updating alone fix a stuck save?

Not always. LeiYun explicitly requires Shuo Guang Yin checkpoint reload for saves already corrupted by the bug.

Does F8 save help recover from this softlock?

F8 prevents future loss if saved before entrance. Once position state corrupts, Shuo Guang Yin checkpoint reload is the official recovery path.

Which dungeons were most affected?

Any cave, tomb, or secret realm entrance — including Underground Training sub-floors, Blood Sea, and Liuyun Secret Realm.

Is this related to patch 0.13.18?

No. 0.13.19 is an independent hotfix for dungeon entry position bugs, shipped immediately after the larger 0.13.18 feature patch.
