A small technical update, version 1.08, has been released.
Some of the game's core system files have been reworked to improve build stability.
Shader memory retention has been disabled, which could previously lead to cache overflow issues. Shader loading speed should remain unchanged overall.
Added an FPS limit setting. VSync does not always work correctly, so on lower-end systems a manual FPS cap can sometimes provide smoother gameplay.
Slightly improved optimization for Steam Deck on Ultra settings.

Hi everyone! Update 1.04
Main changes:
Fixed some minor bugs, including an issue with activating the assembly mode at the workbench.
Fixed the book collection counter in the village. The bug allowed players to receive points multiple times for the same books.
Added a button to Photo Mode for capturing a frame. The frame is saved to a separate folder (the path will be shown during the process). With Full HD resolution you can now take 4K screenshots. A button to quickly open the folder is also added (PC only).
Added another capacitor energy counter on the left side of the SII, so you no longer need to open the item list to check it.
Steam Deck should now automatically display the correct button icons. I’ve sent it to Valve for approval to get the green compatibility badge.
