V1.004 Patch Notes

major update

Hold'em Fold'em Poker · published · build 24556513

New Languages — now 16

  • 5 new languages: Português (Brasil), Português (Portugal), Italiano, Tiếng Việt, and Traditional Chinese (繁體中文).

  • All Steam achievements localised into every supported language.

  • A translated README now ships alongside the game for each language.

  • Fixed the "waiting for more players" message not switching language until a restart.

New House Rules & Game Setup

  • Max re-buys — cap how many times a busted player can buy back into a cash game, from Unlimited down to "None (bust = out)". (Beta)

  • Cash game over — when a capped game plays down to one survivor, the winner gets a proper spotlight-and-confetti celebration, then the table restarts automatically with the original line-up.

  • Bots top up between hands — short-stacked bots refill to the starting stack between hands, keeping the action deep. (Beta)

  • Blinds pre-sets — cash games can now run at 1/2, 5/10 or 25/50, with starting stacks scaling to match.

  • New bot style: "Bully" — a relentless post-flop aggressor, available from the bot-style dropdown.

  • Bot styles now survive host migration and saved-game resumes — your table keeps its personality.

  • Every re-buy now shows a toast with the amount, and hosting a public lobby with a re-buy cap shows a heads-up about mid-game joiners.

  • Bots no longer fold to re-raises that cost them nothing to call.

Controller & Steam Deck (Beta)

  • Bigger, clearer text everywhere — the whole UI now clears Valve's Steam Deck legibility bar, with special attention to Russian, Ukrainian and German.

  • Button prompts now match your controller — PlayStation shapes, Nintendo layout, Steam Deck and Xbox all show their own glyphs.

  • Typing with a controller — chat, your display name, lobby codes, bet amounts and Workshop titles now open Steam's on-screen keyboard. The chat box no longer vanishes when a controller is active.

  • Navigation overhaul — the D-pad now moves logically through the sidebar, lobby menus and modals: one row per press, left/right within a row, wrap-around from top to bottom, and the sidebar's settings / hand-helper / pin buttons are all reachable. Numeric fields are no longer skipped.

  • Your turn no longer yanks the controller away while you're browsing the sidebar or chatting — press B to jump back to the action bar in one press.

  • Fixed a crash when ending a game, and made the Leave Table / End Game confirmations fully navigable on a pad.

A Bigger, Bolder Lobby

  • The whole lobby flow — single player, multiplayer, and the waiting rooms — has been rebuilt at console scale: a much larger panel, chunkier buttons and controls, and clearer labels, with the animated background still showing through.

First-Run Setup

  • The welcome screen now double-checks your language, with a live preview as you change it.

  • Finishing the tutorial no longer re-deals the table repeatedly behind the final messages — play begins cleanly when you dismiss the last one.

  • Every tutorial message can now be dismissed with a controller.

Show My Hand

  • Revealing your hand now also flashes your two cards on your seat panel for a few extra seconds — so a last-moment reveal doesn't vanish with the next deal. New, more readable mini-card art to go with it.

Fixes

  • The poker-hands helper chart no longer runs off-screen in longer languages (and no longer grows absurdly tall).

  • The buy-back window no longer overflows its border in Ukrainian/Russian.

  • Empty seats in the Manage panel got their own row, so their controls no longer crowd the seat list.

  • Fixed a bug that would cause a soft lock and/or a crash when multiplayer invites were received during the tutorial and sometimes by having certain menu panels open.
