Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
v1.4.14 is released
Hello all! Plenty of fixes were made in this update, including optimizing performance for end-game savefiles with many clownfishes, drones and other flying entities like parrots and kewi birds.
Previously, late game savefiles with very high quantities of clownfish could occasionally get stuck at 90% on the loading screen. This should be addressed, and the fix also improves performance on savefiles with many clownfish and flying entities, depending on the device.
Many other reported issues have been fixed, including improvements made to reduce confusion as well as improve consistency within the in-game text, dialogs and encyclopedia. Protip: The encyclopedia allows you to see an overview of items in the game when you need to find out how to get a specific item or how it's used!
