Version 1.0 and the 8 November hotfix

• Chapter 4 story ending.
• New rewards and customisation tied to reputation. If you were already past a level, the notes say the reward is waiting at the reward table.
• A performance note of about +30% on GPU and VRAM. That is the post’s figure, not a benchmark I ran.
• About 500 fixes.
• A catch-up path for old saves.

The same post names fixes that change how the saloon behaves day to day: missing T3, T4, and T5 pot models; random items landing in the inventory; overlapping staff skill names; the Act 4 barn door; Steady Hammer truck wheels; untranslated skill, window, and texture strings; customers lingering after close; duplicated trash bags; stutter while holding a table; room renovation counts; Act 3 unlock progress; rush-hour music; the donation box ignoring Casey’s body-delivery pay and customer tips; the job board locked during “In the Land of Yeast” and “The Scarlet Lady”; a mail icon that would not clear; moonshine ingredient buy caps; and overlapping piano and ambience.

The hotfix post says delivery crates were not teleporting or spawning, trains could arrive empty, and reputation was not activating. It also says players could not tell how to reach a new chapter. The method it describes is: serve drinks and food, sleep, let reputation update, and move on when the condition is met.

That sentence is the closest thing to an official walkthrough of chapter flow. The chapter table and the workaround list both point back here.

I am not writing “52% of players are angry about X.” The recent score is a store statistic. The complaints I will name are the ones that also show up in discussion titles and in the patch notes themselves.
