Windrose has released version 0.10.0.5.120-073042fb, a patch focused on fixing corrupted save files through a new Steam Cloud Saves update.
Save File Improvements
The update introduces a new storage and backup system for save files. Key changes include:
- Automatic backups every 10 minutes of gameplay and upon exiting
- Updated save file structure for cloud synchronization to minimize syncing issues
- Broken save files no longer block the game from loading
Data Recovery and Migration
A Data Recovery UI now appears if the latest save file for a world or character is broken at startup. Players can either quit the game (e.g., to attempt a cloud resync) or recover data from a backup, with the game automatically offering the latest available one.
A Save Migration System converts old save files (pre-version 0.10.0.5.120-073042fb) to the new format, typically seamless and invisible. If old, corrupted files cannot be migrated, a notification window will appear with details and a prompt to delete them.
Other Updates and Known Issue
Additional fixes include correcting D-pad Left mapping in the crafting station UI and updating the Wolf Head item icon.
Characters created before version 0.10.0.4 cannot be deleted due to Steam Cloud synchronization. This is a known issue and will be fixed in a future update.
Players should note that game settings will reset after this patch and should back them up manually if needed. This update provides a much-needed safety net for save file integrity.
