Hello! V1.9 is now live. Thank you for the reports about resolution, desktop layout, research pacing, and saves. This update focuses on safer legacy saves, clearer interfaces, and a smoother early game.

Highlights

• Safer saves: the game now completes a safe local commit before Steam Cloud sync. Rolling backups, corrupted-save recovery, and an explicit local/cloud conflict choice help prevent silent overwrites.

• Legacy save support: V1 saves can migrate to the current format. If a conflict occurs, both local and cloud candidates are retained.

• UI and resolution: improved layouts for Settings, Store, Guide, Research Records, Statistics, Pomodoro, chicken details, and the right toolbar on small displays, 16:10 screens, and widescreen displays.

• Desktop layout: improved monitor selection, fallback when a display changes, UI recovery, and the right-side safe area. Press Ctrl+Shift+U to recover the interface, or Ctrl+Shift+M to switch displays.

• Research pacing: on a zero-progress save, the first chicken is guaranteed one normal Q4 within 30–45 seconds. One limited second-stage protection across the first two chickens guarantees a normal Q4 within 10–15 minutes, with at most 30 bonus funds. Normal probabilities resume afterward.

• Clearer feedback: added cycle duration, success chance, next attempt, pending-result, and next-step information.

• Bilingual UI: instant Simplified Chinese / English switching is available across the main gameplay and settings interfaces.

• Retired AI feature: player-facing AI chat, API Key settings, and related instructions have been fully removed.

• Chicken and HUD polish: fixed movement facing, titles, buttons, store cards, ground coverage, and several transparent-desktop stability details.

If the interface becomes unusable, press Ctrl+Shift+U first. If the issue remains, please include your resolution, Windows scaling percentage, monitor arrangement, and a screenshot in your report.

Thank you for your support!
