Current status board

Hangout map text may display in English

Missing console saves addressed by Hotfix 1.3-1248

The hotfix announcement specifically says it addresses a missing-save issue affecting some console players. Do not delete local or cloud data while diagnosing save visibility.

Merfolk autosave black screen fixed

Hotfix 1.3-1248 documents a fix for a black screen during an autosave inside Merfolk buildings.

Hangout dialogue choices fixed

The hotfix also documents disappearing dialogue choices during hangout event cutscenes.

Player-reported problems

Community reports may be useful for reproducing a bug, but they remain unconfirmed until Stairway Games documents them. This site does not label Reddit or Discord reports as official defects.

Do not delete saves first

Preserve copies and check cloud synchronization before changing local files. Deletion is not a diagnostic step.

Document the problem

Record platform, version, save slot, location, in-game date and steps that reproduce the issue.

Check the hotfix notes

A problem visible in an older guide may already be fixed in 1.3-1248.
