| In-game event | Build 162 - SubBuild 2026.7.1 Here's another regular update. Surprisingly, there were not too many bugs this time, just some tuning and a few new little features ! I hope you'll enjoy them. 🙂 New Features : - CPU : you can now fine-tune the CPU SubLevel if you feel a jump of 1 SubLevel is too big ; it's especially useful when playing against the Incredible level, where each SubLevel matters more than in other difficulty le… | 23997711 | |

| Game update | Build 160 - SubBuild 2026.5.8 Bug Fixes : - Animation : when moving forward (and possibly in some other cases), our player was very often anticipating that we were going to turn around our BH to do a FH, and turn around our FH to do a BH, and thus was preparing the wrong strike - Animation : the head could be slightly misoriented in some cases, especially with some waiting-for-the-opponent-to-serve animations | 23142329 | |
| Game update | Build 159 - SubBuild 2026.5.7 Bug Fixes : - Animation : the Sliding FH was played instead of Sliding BH - Animation : fixed some weird movement when we make our player turn around his backhand to play his forehand, but it'll still happen if we position our player incorrectly (ie: go too far and need to be brought back a bit by the AutoPos) | 23124052 | |
| In-game event | Build 158 - SubBuild 2026.5.6 Woh, a big update coming from all your reports, with 1 big change for the online modes ! I hope you'll enjoy it. 🙂 And here's the full changelog.

| Major update | Version 1.0a ! Here's the version 1.0a of Tennis Elbow 4 ! After nearly 9 years of development through TEM2+TE4, I'm finally on the edge of moving on to new projects ! 🥳 It's still not the end of the road for TE4, though, and I'll still improve the game here and there in the coming years, but once this new version is stabilized, I won't work full-time on TE4 anymore.

| Community | Steam Cloud fix for macOS : keep your local files ! Hello, I just fixed the Steam Cloud for macOS. So if you're on macOS, Steam should ask you if you want to use the Cloud save files or to keep your local files : choose to keep the local files, or else you're going to lose all your saved games. before you launch the game, it's strongly recommended to back up your saved games !
