Patch Notes
⚠️ Important
This only applies to players who owned the game before the July 10 major update.
If you're experiencing strange bugs after the update (especially with campfires, quests, or other systems), you're most likely using an old save.
Old saves are not fully compatible with this update.
Delete your old save folder and start a new game:
%USERPROFILE%/AppData/Local/ForestDoesntCare/Saved
If you don't want to lose your progress, you can also wait until we release a save compatibility fix.
