Patch 4 highlights
Patch 4 added IJKL movement rebinding, improved macOS crash reporting, and attempted fixes for a small-window snap-resolution crash, occasional black palette color, and getting stuck after leaving the apartment bathtub. It also corrected Fiona sitting on the simulation bench and music pacing near the fishing area.
Patch 3 highlights
Patch 3 updated graphics libraries in response to DirectX 12 boot crashes. The developers published Vulkan and D3D11 Steam launch options and noted Windows 11 Smart App Control as another possible blocker. It also fixed item duplication, email dates, mouse confinement, enemy respawning, and localization strings.
