This update addresses the highest-priority bugs reported by players.
We want to apologize for the number of updates over the past week. After the last patch, we expected things to be stable for a while, but we discovered a critical issue affecting new players where XXX scenes would fail to function.
This issue was difficult to reproduce because it was tied to stored player preferences, which meant it primarily affected fresh installs rather than existing players. Once identified, we were able to resolve it fully.
Thank you all for your patience and understanding during this period. We’ll be taking a short breather from patch updates now that this has been addressed.
