Birdwatching Notebook – A Quiet Weekend Update

Birdwatching Notebook · published 1 Jun 2026, 02:58 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

✨ New Feature

1. Photo Save Location Can Now Be Customized

You can now change where your photos are stored.

Go to:
Settings → Photo Settings to view and modify the save path.


🔥 Improvements

1. Performance Optimization

Improved stuttering and lag issues on some devices, especially when taking photos.

If you still experience lag after updating, we highly recommend installing the game on an SSD. This resolves the vast majority of performance issues. We will continue optimizing performance for users running the game on HDDs as well.

2. Earlier Multiplayer Access

The "Visit Others" multiplayer feature is now unlocked earlier—once you enter the Pond or Harbor area.

Connect with your friends sooner!

3. Added Birding Site Unlock Explanations

You can now hover your mouse over map icons to see unlock requirements for each birding location.

No more guessing where to go next!

4. Added Fruit Food-Type Icons

The Common Blackbird and Oriental Magpie-Robin now display fruit as part of their diet indicators.

5. Stranger Visit Optimization

Improved the random matchmaking logic for Multiplayer → Visit Strangers, making it less likely to match you with the same players repeatedly.

6. Bird Trait Panel Improvement

Bird trait descriptions now appear on hover instead of requiring a click for each entry.


🪄 Bug Fixes

  1. Fixed a bug where certain Blueprint Codes could cause the game to crash.

  2. Fixed an issue on some machines where saving a photo could cause the game to become unresponsive.

  3. Removed stray pixels from the Forest birding location.

  4. Fixed a bug where some food items displayed white squares when dragged.

  5. Fixed an issue where the Food Cart could not be opened. If you are currently experiencing this problem, simply update the game and restart it.

  6. Fixed a bug where cancelling a selected building with right-click while the Food menu was open would not return the building count to your inventory.


Happy birdwatching, everyone! 🐦💛
