Player-visible changes
The issue guides below connect each official change to a specific symptom and safe checks. A patch announcement records what the developer addressed; it is not a guarantee that every old save is recoverable.
- Performance: An apartment or player-house transition crashes the game.
- Startup: Shader compilation prevents the game from launching.
Before retesting
Let Steam finish updating and preserve the save that reproduces the issue. Compare one action at a time and report a new regression with the installed build and exact objective.
