v1.2.3 — Linux launch fixes for Wayland and NVIDIA
Linux players : this build fixes two issues that prevented TideWane from launching on modern Linux desktops. · On native Wayland sessions (Hyprland, GNOME Wayland, KDE Plasma Wayland, Sway, etc.), the game would crash on startup with a GTK initialization error from the in-game WebView. · On NVIDIA GPUs, the game window would render fully black even though audio played — the WebView's GPU compos…
What you'll be able to play · The Shallows — all 5 milestone bosses, full fish roster · The full PSI Tree — 108 nodes, 8 branches · One Ascension prestige layer · Artifact Forge, Zone Shop, Bestiary A complete first-zone arc Roughly 30-45 minutes of play. Demo saves stay independent of the full game by design — the early-game economy curves differ enough that mixing them would break pacing. Whe…

Anonymous progression telemetry — opt-out, with a Delete My Data button that wipes everything tied to your install. Collected · Which milestones you reach (first dive, first boss kill, first zone clear) and when · Session start/end timestamps · Game version + OS family NOT collected · No S…
This update bundles a polish pass you've been asking for — you can now see every multiplier that built your drill damage — with four bug fixes from playtester feedback. No new zones yet, but a lot of things that were broken or opaque are now fixed and visible. NEW — Combat Stats panel Settings → STATS now opens a live readout of every stat feeding your damage: base, drill-tree multiplier, flat…
What's New Combat Stats panel — Settings → STATS now shows every multiplier feeding your damage, with a live worked-example in monospace. The damage formula was restructured; drill-tree nodes stack multiplicatively, artifact/zone-shop/Void "Power" bonuses stack additively. Bug Fixes · Event achievements count now — Event Horizon / Event Hunter / Storm Chaser / Tempest Rider are reachable. · Asc…
macOS & Linux now launch properly If you were on macOS or Linux and saw a blank page or what looked like a GitHub repo instead of the game — sorry! Your game will download this update and launch correctly now. Stat tracking fixes · Best Combo on the Stats screen now actually tracks your peak. Previously it only recorded the combo value at the moment you surfaced — which was usually 0 after comb…
v1.1.1 — Achievement Sync Fix Achievements have been silently failing to register with Steam since launch. The game was sending the wrong API names, so every unlock was dropped on Steam's side. Fixed. What this means for you · Any achievement you earn from now on will pop on Steam normally. · Achievements you've already earned in-game will sync retroactively the next time you launch TideWane —…
