Revision 2

This page tracks the problems the publisher has acknowledged in Graveyard Keeper 2 since its launch on 22 September 2026, with the official workarounds, and the updates released to fix them. It was last checked on 13 October 2026. Player reports that the studio has not acknowledged are not listed.

Known Issues

The publisher's support centre keeps an official list of known issues for the game. On 13 October 2026 it held four open entries, plus eight problems that update 1.007 had already fixed on most platforms but that were still present on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2, where that update had not yet been released.

Still Open on Nintendo Switch

The official list names eight problems that update 1.007 fixed on PC, PlayStation and Xbox but that remained on both Switch versions on 13 October 2026, with the Switch release of the update described as coming very soon.

• The garden well upgrade stays available and can crash the game when crafted again.

• The Crematorium can get stuck with a corpse on the table and stop responding.

• The Study Table can stop responding after an item is inserted to generate Science.

• Iron delivery quests at the Town Warehouse can stall, with deliveries refused or the quest still locked after turn-in.

• Research points can be flung out of bounds.

• Exhumed corpses are miscounted against the morgue's capacity, so the corpse counter can drop below zero after cremation.

• Giving beer or pie to soldiers fails to hand out the reward.

• Moving items into a full chest can delete the excess when only part of a stack fits.

Performance During Long Sessions

The publisher says that playing for several hours without saving or relaunching can cause frame rate drops, stutter and general slowdown on every platform, because memory builds up over a long session. Its advice is to save often by resting in bed, and to close and relaunch the game every few hours during extended play. See Getting Started for other first-session tips.

Demo Saves

Saves from the free demo carry into the full game, and on PC the transfer should happen automatically. If a PC demo save does not appear, the publisher's support centre describes copying the demo's save files from the demo's folder into the full game's folder, both kept in the Lazy Bear Games folder inside the LocalLow folder of the Windows user's AppData directory, or pulling them from cloud saves. On 23 September 2026 the known issues list also said that demo progress does not transfer on Nintendo Switch. That entry had been removed from the list by 13 October 2026, and no published patch note mentions a fix.

Pre-Order Content Missing From Saves

On launch day some players with existing saves did not see the pre-order sauna and outfit. A hotfix released that evening fixed it. Both bonuses also need some progress before they appear: the sauna sits over a bridge that must be repaired first, and the outfit needs the Suit Up! technology and a Dresser. See Editions and Pre-Orders.

On consoles the publisher's support centre says the pre-order add-on may not install automatically, which it calls common on PlayStation. Its advice is to make sure the add-on is downloaded and installed, then re-import the demo save and launch it again. The launch-evening hotfix covered the PC version, and a console patch was described as in progress. Later, update 1.009 on PC and update 1.009.1 on PlayStation and Xbox fixed the sauna's buff permanently reducing the energy that food restores after it ended, and corrected existing saves.

Patch Notes

Every update so far has reached PC first. The studio posts the PC notes on the game's PC store news page, and the publisher's support centre keeps a running archive that also records the console releases, which have arrived as combined updates a few days later. On 13 October 2026 the Nintendo Switch versions had still not received update 1.007. The table summarises the changes that matter most for play; each full changelog is much longer.

Planned Changes

On 2 October 2026, a little over a week after launch, the studio published its plans for the next updates. It said it had received a lot of comments about mechanics that some players found challenging or, in its words, "grindy and boring", and that some tasks had become chores it did not want in the game either. It pointed to update 1.008, with its changes to vendor trades, order delivery requirements and perk bonuses, as the first step, and listed further changes, which it said were not the whole plan.

Reporting Problems

The developer asks players to report bugs in the dedicated bug forum on the game's PC store community hub, or on the studio's Discord server. Since update 1.006 the PC version also has its own bug report tool, which the publisher calls the best route on PC; it sits in the top-left of the main menu and in the pause menu. On any platform the support centre's bug report form asks for the steps to reproduce a problem and, especially on consoles, screenshots or video. On PC, the game writes its log and save files to the Lazy Bear Games folder inside the LocalLow folder of AppData, and crash reports under the Windows temporary folder, which the publisher's support centre asks for when a bug is reported.
