Dear koi farmers, I've had several messages of Steam deck owners experiencing problems with touch controls. Sometimes, a region to the right and bottom of the screen can't receive input. While I'm trying to fix the issue, a user on our discord has verified that this problem doesn't occur when running the game in desktop mode. I hope this helps Steam deck users until the game is patched!
Dear koi farmers, A small patch has been published today: · Some compatibility issues with Steam Deck and Linux were fixed. · When changing settings that require reboots, the game automatically reboots back into the previously loaded save. If you are playing koi farm on a Steam deck, please let me know how it runs in the comments! If anything else can be improved, I'll add it to future updates.
Dear koi farmers, The latest patch turns MSAA (soft edges) on by default, unless it is turned off in the menu. The patch also includes some compatibility fixes.
Dear koi farmers, The game now has a menu option for toggling MSAA (anti aliasing). This feature was on by default, but it can now be turned off. This makes edges rougher, but the game will run smoother on slower computers.
Dear koi farmers, Lightning flashes during thunderstorms can now be turned off by a menu setting, since they can be an issue for players with epilepsy. Thunderstorms still occur when flashes are turned off, but there will not be any flashes.
Dear koi farmers, A small patch has been published today: · A white or black screen crash has been fixed. Some users encountered crashes where the screen turned black or white, but the sounds kept playing. · Implemented new systems in preparation for future updates.

Dear koi farmers, It's time for another small patch, fixing the broken steam overlay among other things: · Steam overlay now works. · Fixed an issue where enter toggled full screen mode, this should have been alt + enter. · Fixed a bug where menu buttons could be clicked while they were fading out, causing strange bugs later in the game. · Fixed a few issues with Ukrainian translations.
