Potion Names Missing

[Ducky]

In the last 24 hours, the names for my health potions are coming up as "<MISSING STRING TABLE ENTRY>". I have attempted troubleshooting for this, but it is still happening. Here are some details:

I am using Linux > Mint.

This seems to happen to all my randomizer games, but not to the main one. This includes games saved well before the bug occurred.

I have verified the integrity of my game, but the issue persists.

I have uninstalled the game and reinstalled it.

I don't think this is related, but around the same time, I plugged in a working wired PS4 controller. I have since unplugged that controller, re-plugged in the original (Xbox 360 wired) and the issue still persists.

I have updated my OS after seeing the problem.

I have yet to try my game on another PC, but will soon.
EDIT: I can confirm this is happening between multiple PCs.

It isn't a bug in the traditional sense, it's that the developers made some changes and forgot to make sure all of the table data was in place (hence the error message). Unfortunately it looks like this latest patch also significantly broke randomizer crafting. Some items show they're allowed to be crafted or dismantled, but the quantity selector doesn't let you choose the number and/or acts as if you aren't allowed to perform the action you're trying to perform. I even ran into an issue where when dismantling my current seed's "money maker" for early game money where the number of items I was allowed to dismantle at a time was a fraction (1/6th) of my currently available alkahest stock, so at 99 alkahest I could dismantle 16 of the item, then when at 80 alkahest I could only dismantle 15 (the listed fraction is approximate as this game has some rounding errors here).

Basically, this latest patch borked randomizer's crafting pretty massively.

Ah. That is unfortunate. I hope a new patch gets made/released soon to fix this. Thank you for clearing that. I will explore Steam options in the meantime to "update" to an earlier version.

Ok, so it seems like all the guides I have found to rollback updates are out of date, or the instruction/examples provided are for another game and make things confusing. Also it seems like rolling back a game is way more involved than it should be. It is something that I feel should be able to be done within the Steam client.

Anyone have some clarity on this?

Honestly, Steam really needs to let players stay on a specific version like GoG does if it's an offline game. In this game's case, the latest features would simply not exist in an earlier version and as such you'd lack access to the DLC or Shantae stuff, but you'd have somewhat better stability/bugfix scenarios. GoG lets players download offline installers, and you can download specific versions so that you can install that version vs. a newer one. Some game devs give you a similar, though less fine tunable feature via the game's "beta" channel like CDPR does with Witcher 3, which allows players to use the pre-4k enhanced version of the game for mod compability (sadly they updated the beta channel to force use of their awful Red Launcher, which nobody likes).
