- ⭐ UPDATE v1.1.28 | Stability & Performance + Lots of Bug Fixes! 🐛🛠️ - 30 September 2026
Hello, dear Pixelians! 👋 Over the past few months, our main focus has been improving the overall stability especially for players who reported crashes and some of you may remember that we recently opened a separate Crash Reduction Test Branch containing a large number of memory optimizations. And now, with v1.1.28, those improvements are finally being brought into the public/default version of the game! But alongside that, we’ve spent time going through several systems in the game, improving save/load reliability, reducing unnecessary CPU work, fixing bugs and addressing a number of smaller edge cases, which I will share all very detailedly below. Major Performance ImprovementsI've already shared some of those details in the previous test branch update log, but below are the details for the record.Under the same gameplay conditions, internal profiling showed the following results:Textu…
- 📢 [Announcement] Our Crash Reduction Test Branch is Ready! 💻🧰 - 29 July 2026
📢 Our Crash Reduction Test Branch is Ready! Hello, dear Pixelians! 👋 For months, one of my highest priorities has been addressing the crashes reported by some players, particularly those using Intel integrated graphics. Many affected players reported the same pattern: the game would run normally for anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour before crashing. This suggested that memory usage was building up during longer sessions. After a major optimization pass, we are now releasing a separate test version to determine whether these changes resolve or significantly reduce those crashes.Note: This is only for Windows, and recommended only for those that experience crashes during their gameplay. You do not need to do it for Steam Deck.Another Important NotePlease make sure the branch shows an update date of July 29 in the branch selection menu. After launching the game, confirm that v1.1.27 is…

I’ve been thinking a lot ab…
