Dear Players,
Thank you so much for playing our demo and for providing detailed bug reports. We would like to express our deepest and most sincere apologies for the critical issues some players have experienced. We are fully aware that a fatal bug has left the game in an unplayable state for many of you, and we deeply regret the major frustration this has caused.
We have been investigating this critical issue thoroughly since June 16th, 20:00 (JST). It took some time to pinpoint the exact root causes, and we are incredibly sorry for making you wait.
Thanks to your invaluable feedback, we have successfully identified and fixed the following critical issues:
🚨 Critical Fixes
1. Control Disabling / Menu Double-Click Bug
Issue: A severe conflict (mismatch) between how certain mouse hardware executes input and our internal mouse detection system was completely disabling input/controls upon launch for some players.
Fix: We have overhauled the mouse detection system to ensure it captures focus instantly and registers all inputs properly.
2. Audio Volume Reset Bug
Issue: On some high-performance PCs, the game was processing data too fast, causing it to initialize default settings before properly loading the saved configuration data.
Fix: Adjusted the initialization order so that your saved audio preferences are correctly loaded every time.
"To prevent save data corruption and ensure system stability, the game is designed not to save your progress until the tutorial is fully completed."
💡 Note for Players (Data Initialization)
The save/config data is located in the following directory: AppData\\Local\\SilverSteps
If you need to completely reset or initialize your system data due to these bugs, please manually delete this folder.
