What happened?

As has been mentioned in another post before, the current version of heatstroke as of October 21st 2026 doesnt seem to be curable to a lot of players, including myself, on Xbox. I would like to mention other bugs associated with this in order to better diagnose when you have a glitched version of heatstroke.

Issue 1: There are no symptoms prior to getting the "throwing up" stage of heatstroke, no blurry vision, no constant rubbing of the forehead, just a sudden throwing up animation while being in optimal conditions (white everything, including temperature, while indoors)

Issue 2: If you get the glitched version of heat stroke, it also doesnt progress to the final stage of heatstroke. In my experience, once I had this glitched version of heatstroke, I was able to run around for 40 minutes to an hour in the Nasdara mid day sun, yellow/red temperature, and didnt develop to any additional stages of heatstroke with fainting and consistent health loss.

Reproduction steps

Step 1: Get heatstroke

Step 2: Confirm if you have the glitched version of heat stroke via the checks I had up above.

Exact build version (optional)
1.30.164200.56
Where did it happen?
Official
Is it modded?
No
Expected result

Until this is fixed, if you have this glitched version of heatstroke, it trivializes the heat, since it doesnt progress to the later stages. Treat it like cholera, take only 3 gulps of water, and 3 bites of food at a time, run around as much as you want.

As for Bohemia, this bug is worse than most bugs they usually make, which says a lot. Until they fix it i would LOVE for the heatstroke disease to be taken out, it causes way more pain than its worth. But i completely understand thats not realistic

    did you check with a thermometer? we thought we had it too, but it was cholera the whole time (same symptoms) drank from clean water all the time, filled up a barrel with well water, i think there is a bug where water in containers aswell as jerrycans get the cholera stat for no reason

    Im 95 percent sure it isnt cholera. When my group was learning the map we at first drank the underground tunnel water, which at the time wasnt clean (it is now as of today). But since then, ive drank water only from the dynamic water tanks, or ive boiled/purified every bottle ive filled up with unclean water. And ive tried curing it with both multivitamins and tetracycline. Ive tried map hopping to Sakhal in where im still wiping my forehead of sweat while actively freezing to death, ive tried contracting other diseases and seeing if curing those would undo the bugged version of heatstroke, none of it cured my presumed heatstroke. Ill try a new life and see if boiling/purifying the water from the tanks gets me any further, to see if thats a cause as well.

    weirdd then, water trucks and wells are 100% safe to drink out of also cholera has a 8-30min prime timer i think, until u get the sickness symbol, thats why we thought its a heatstroke, cause it came out of nowhere aswell

    and pretty sure tunnel water is supposed to be dirty allways, you have to cook it first, no? all the vids i saw they sayd all water sources are dirty except the well and truck

    That would make sense from a logical standpoint, but the patch notes today state that it was a fixed bug that the tunnel water was infected with cholera, so it wasnt even intended for it to be dirty, but it was, and now is fixed.. allegedly lmao.

    I can confirm that at least for me, jerry cans and canteens have been fine to drink out of as long as you fill them up from a water truck. I drank a whole jerry can and like 5 canteens of fresh water over the course of a play session and was fine

    Would be interested to see how this ticket shakes out tho


    Overall the heatstroke system has been pretty buggy for me too. Hard to even say what the problem is if we don't know concrete numbers for overheating and how to stop it too . Getting heatstroke after hopping to sakhal is wild too

    Definitely would love for more transparency when it comes to how the disease is supposed to work, but I think the first chance we'll get of that is when Wobo makes a video on it. And if I recall correctly, he said the numbers were complex and might take a couple weeks. So we might be stuck in the dark until then unfortunately.
