Three weeks post-launch, we're excited to roll out a scheduled patch packed with essential fixes and enhancements for Nerd Survivors. This update focuses on performance improvements, especially on advanced maps and high refresh rate screens, restoring stuck achievements, and significant balancing tweaks for character perks and overall difficulty.

Patch Highlights

  • Achievements Restoration: If the trubblings ate your Steam Achievements, fear not! A new 'Restore Progress' button in the game options lets you restore them.
  • Update System Overhaul: We've switched to a new, more stable update system, addressing the game timer lag issue and optimizing for various frame rates.
  • Visual and Gameplay Improvements:
    • Reduced Fartomancy effects to declutter the screen.
    • Enhanced pickup icon readability on the 'Survived' screen.
    • Improved font spacing and added special glyphs for better localization support.
    • Slight rework on the weapon type frame for better recognition (ongoing effort).
    • Performance boosts during weather effects like rain and snow.

  • Gameplay Tweaks and Balances:

    • Adjusted damage, drop rates, and difficulty settings across several elements of the game to provide a smoother and more engaging experience.
    • Specific challenges and enemy behaviors have been rebalanced for a fair challenge.

  • Quality of Life Updates:

    • Numerous fixes for bugs affecting collection challenges, class unlocks, and screen effects.
    • Enhanced stats summary visibility, fixed scrolling issues, and improved forge navigation.
    • Adjustments to screen effects, sheep follower behaviors, and weapon selection in the forge for an improved gameplay experience.

  • Localization and Aspect Ratio Fixes:

    • Completed translations for class descriptions and enemy wave announcements.
    • Addressed display issues on uncommon screen aspect ratios, including the Steam Deck.

Special Notes


- The DEMO version sees localized wishlist screens and corrected usage limitations for Prototype Alpha.
