A brand-new, highly asked-for feature has been added to Lake — you can now pet the cats that are lounging around Mildred’s home! Just like in real life, each cat is different and has their own unique response, so it’s up to you to determine how to earn their trust so you can give

Changes

Updated localization
Fixed missing collider diner
Update farm missing chairs
Prevent mail truck from blocking conversations
Fixed font missing characters in Chinese and Japanese localization
Fixed credits in menu not matching end game credits.
Fixed not being able to walk when loading a save while sitting on a bench or delivering a letter
Updated Vsync and Window mode settings. Fullscreen should now be exclusive fullscreen. Vsync and refresh rate should be applied correctly again.
Fixed car horn only usable once.
Lots of smaller audio related fixes. Hopefully the problem is solved, if not a lot less frequent.
If you do still encounter any audio issues, please let us know. Here are some things you can try that might help:

Changing the priority and affinity of the executable through the Task Manager might help resolve audio issues in some cases.
Enable or disable Vsync and try limiting your framerate. Several players have reported the problem occurs (more often) on higher frame rates. This might help reduce the issue.
Please try to enable or disable exclusive mode via the properties of your audio device through Windows ("Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device"). This has been reported to solve the issue in some rare cases.

We are working hard to solve any remaining issues.
It would help us a lot if you could provide us with some more info. If possible, please share at least some of the following info when encountering issues:

Player logs. These can be found at C:\Users\< your username here > \AppData\LocalLow\Gamious\Lake\Player.log You can also use Windows Key + R and enter %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Gamious\Lake\ Easiest way to share is via either pastebin , filebin or a similar website. Alternatively you can upload the file somewhere and provide us with a link to download. Third option is to email us via [email protected]
DxDiag info (especially the Audio section). You can get this info by using Windows Key + R and enter "DxDiag" in the box that appears. We're most interested in the audio tab(s). You can export all information as a text file or send us screenshots. Any additional info you can provide about your audio setup would also help.
Do you have any other (relevant) software running at the same time? Any info you can think of would help us narrow down and reproduce the issue.
Again, thank you all for playing and reporting issues!

Lake DLC 'Season's Greetings' coming this holiday season!
We're super happy to announce ' Season's Greetings ', in which we return to our cozy little laketown Providence Oaks! You might wonder how Lake's story could continue with all the different endings it offered. Well, we were wondering the same, and that's why Season's Greetings is

You might wonder how Lake's story could continue with all the different endings it offered. Well, we were wondering the same, and that's why Season's Greetings is not a sequel, but a prequel!
It's December 23, 1985, eight months before Meredith returns to Providence Oaks. You take on the role of her father, Thomas, and will be delivering the mail like he's been doing for years. We don't want to spoil too much, but what we can say is:

It's the final days of the year, so expect Holiday Season happenings!
P.O. will be covered in a blanket of snow, and cheered up with lots of Christmas lighting.
Meet new characters, but you'll of course also see lots of familiar faces.
Nancy will be complaining.
Frank might be betting on sports.
Mildred could need your help.
Maureen will definitely yell to the kitchen.
And Jack's playlist will also have Christmas tunes! But it might still be a bit short. ;)
We hope you share our excitement, and make sure to check back here for updates. We will share more details about the game in the coming months, so stay tuned and wishlist Season's Greetings here!

This is a small patch that includes a few minor changes. After this update we will nog longer support Windows 8, as Microsoft has also ended support for it on January 10, 2023
Changes:

Credits update. Added missing entries and fixed scrolling issue.
Crash in main menu fixed. This was an issue that happened on most Windows 8 and 8.1 devices. A few clever users have solved this on their own by removing or renaming the file. We have now implemented a fix for this so you no longer have to tinker with the files to get the game running.
Windows 8 no longer supported. The game will still be playable on Windows 8, but we will no longer offer support for Windows 8 specific issues.
Fixed a localisation issue where English text would be displayed when another language is selected.
We're still looking for a solution to the pesky audio bug.
As always, if you encounter any bugs or issues, please create a post in the Bugs/Known Issues section of the forums. For more info, please see this post.
Thank you for playing Lake!

Changes:

Skip dialogue line: if you're replaying the game and don't want to listen to every single spoken sentence again, switch on this option in the Settings -> Language menu. Off by default.
Robert: is referred to as 'Robert' after meeting him in all cases now instead of 'Lumberjack'. Sorry about that, Mr. Harris.
Ghostblasters: Lori now reliably responds correctly when you get a highscore.
Jack: fixed a few face animations that kept him from blinking.
Angie: a conversation with her in week 2 no longer breaks when your friendship level with her is low.
Maureen: no longer pops off screen suddenly in a diner scene with Meredith and Robert.
Parcel models: various larger packages have been rotated a little to better fit into Meredith's hands.
Motel: moved a certain parked car to prevent Auto Pilot from crashing the mail truck into said car.
Motel: removed a certain floating easter egg.
Autopilot: fixed a few cases where the autopilot would not move. If you still experience issues using the autopilot, please let us know! If possible, include a start/end location to help us narrow down the issue.
