1.22 Patch

This update fixes a problem with save files and achievements that were introduced in the last patch.

The last patch introduced a bug where save files were being saved to and read from a wrong location. This meant that users who played before the patch, couldn't load their saves. This has now been fixed, and your saves should be back.

In case you've played the game while between the last patch and this patch, the two saves will be merged together, picking the file from each save, that is the furthest along.

Sorry to everyone who experienced the bug. If you have any problems or need further assistance, feel free to contact us on our Discord server or mail [email protected]

Hope you have fun!

(Thanks to Jeanette and Bigfoot for reporting the problem)

1.21 Patch

This patch fixes a couple of issues introduced in the latest release.

Fixed:
  • Problem where some sprites in mini games were invisible.
  • Missing audio on videos.


Have fun! 😁

(Thanks Cristina!)

Welcome to Elk Comes to Linux!

[h3]Dear Elk Tourist 💌[/h3]

We've just released a patch that brings Welcome to Elk to Linux! Until February 17, Welcome to Elk is 20% off to celebrate. (That's not the only platform it's launching on but we won't talk about that here... 🤫)

Please note: Welcome to Elk is not automatically able to use Proton, so you must enable it manually to play the game. Instructions on how to do that can be found here. Please let us know if you have any questions.
