Five Nights at Freddy's: Secret of the Mimic - Hot Fix 1 Patch Notes

Read Me First

  • ⚠️ Please read these patch notes with caution as THERE ARE SPOILERS! If you wish to read the more generalized/less-spoilery version, you can read our previous post to the community → https://www.steelwoolstudios.com/announcements/upcominghotfix1

  • ⚠️ Please make sure that you meet the minimum spec requirements for PC (Steam/EGS) AND that you have your graphics card drivers updated! A lot of min-spec & higher spec players have been able to resolve their at-launch crashes after updating their graphics card drivers & Windows. For further clarification, if you have:

    • An NVIDIA graphics card, you should have the NVIDIA “GeForce Experience” app installed with the latest available “GeForce Game Ready Driver” on the DRIVERS tab.

    • An AMD graphics card, you should have the “AMD App” installed as it will auto-detect and follow along their instructions.

  • ⚠️ We did put in a fix for the Welcome Show doors never opening for some players. It may still take around 5 mins for players who are UNDER the minimum PC specs(and/or PC hardware is not fully updated - see above). Please note that your experience further in the game will not meet expectations if you fall under the minimum requirement.
