All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Howdy Pioneers,

first of all, thank you for playing, for reporting issues, and for your patience during these first hours after release.

We’ve been going through your reports since launch and have prepared our first hotfix. This update focuses on crashes, controls, UI issues, and a number of problems that could affect longer play sessions.

Content

  • Fixed several crashes related to residents movement.

  • Fixed several graphics-related crashes that could occur during longer play sessions.

  • Fixed memory usage increasing over time, especially after changing resolution, opening certain UI elements, or switching between applications.

  • Fixed possible crashes caused by particles casting shadows

  • Fixed FAQ and popup panels occasionally appearing blank after returning to the game.

  • Fixed controls no longer responding after returning to the main menu and starting a new session.

  • ESC, cutscene skipping, and other inputs sometimes stopping working.

  • Fixed mouse hover and click interactions triggering while the game was running in the background.

  • Fixed an issue that could cause the in-game clock to stop permanently.

  • Fixed missing fonts on the quest timer and FAQ buttons.

  • Fixed an error that could occur when changing resolution after character creation.

  • Fixed unusually large bird swarms appearing when placing many buildings while the game was paused.

  • Fixed an error that could occur when placing buildings in areas with very few or no trees.

  • Improved overall stability during longer sessions, resolution changes, and frequent switching between game and other applications.

Thank You!

This is our first hotfix shortly after release, and we’ll continue working through the reports and feedback you’re sending us.

Please keep reporting any crashes, bugs, or strange behavior you encounter. Even small details about what happened before an issue appeared can help us track it down.

Thank you for all your feedback, support, and patience. We really appreciate everyone helping us improve Wild West Pioneers during these first days after launch.
