Micropatch 1.5.3: Crashing Fixes

Hey Adventurers, it’s Tavielle here!

We just released another micropatch that is live now on Steam for Windows, Steam Deck, and Mac! This micropatch includes fixes and updates for bugs, issues, and feedback from the community, such as:

  • Attempted to fix an issue causing multiplayer games to crash
  • Attempted to fix an issue causing multiplayer characters to lose animals or items
  • Fixed an issue causing the Teleport spell to not work when used
  • Fixed an issue causing you to eat whatever item you were holding after Zaria’s date
  • Fixed an issue causing your resolution to reset in-game
  • Fixed some DLCs not filtering correctly in the in-game store
  • Fixed Rocky’s name not showing up correctly during the Hot Dog eating contest
  • Fixed Lucius’ location in his spouse room
  • NPCs will now walk to the edge of the scene before appearing on the next map
  • NPCs will now walk on one side of the road depending on the direction they are walking
  • Corrected some romanceable character walk paths on the player farm

We'll likely need to roll out another micropatch for some of these multiplayer issues, so we expect to micropatch again soon. Thank you for your patience, and we're very sorry for any inconvenience the crashing might have caused!

Farming sim Sun Haven adds teleportation and speeds up the early game

One of the biggest games like Stardew Valley on Steam, Sun Haven offers a vast fantasy world full of magic and monsters. It features four dramatically distinct biomes each playing host to their own unique items and recipes, 23 potential marriage candidates, and a colossal selection of farming and crafting options at your disposal. Now, developer Pixel Sprout Studios is responding to community feedback with another big quality-of-life feature and some additional improvements.

Micropatch 1.5.2 and Portrait Revision

Hi everyone, it’s Bruce!

We just released another micropatch that is live now on Steam for Windows, Steam Deck, and Mac! We’re still working on fixes and improvements behind the scenes, and this micropatch addresses some specific community-reported bugs and feedback from the last 24 hours.

First of all, we want to thank you for your feedback on the new portrait edits to some romanceable characters in Patch 1.5. As we’re getting closer to finalizing the last of the content for the Nintendo Switch release, we’re working on tying up any loose ends, and that includes any changes that have to be made that could impact Sun Haven’s intended game rating. Some players have also reported that they felt the portraits were not very family friendly, so we leaned on the safe side to ensure Sun Haven remains family friendly for all ages and players, on all platforms.

However, due to the community’s feedback, the previously adjusted portraits have now been reverted so our beloved characters are now back to looking exactly how you remember them! It’s always hard to find a balance of exactly what players want, but we’re doing our best to try and make everyone happy. We read everything in Discord and on all social platforms, and we hope you’ll continue to share your feedback and suggestions with us!

In addition to the portraits going back to their originals, we heard your feedback on the new WIP portraits, and we will no longer be moving forward with the new style, even with potential edits.

At the end of the day, we’re all people who love Sun Haven, and it’s heartwarming to see the passion this community has for the game we all love. Our next update will be full of community suggestions, quality of life changes, and tons of bug fixes.

Now, let’s take a look at the changes in this micropatch:

[h3]

  • Reverted prior bust changes to some romanceable character portraits

  • Fixed an issue causing lost items to show as a ruby
  • Fixed an issue with 1.5 DLC pack prices not reflecting properly in the in-game store menu

  • Fixed an issue causing the Pop Sensation Performance Gloves to appear in the Tea Temple Pack Vendor list
  • Fixed an issue causing the Jet Black Kimono and the Teal Kimono to be missing their sleeves


As always, make sure you log out of Steam and log back in so you get the update! If you run into any issues at all, please let us know in the #report-bugs channel in our Discord server and follow the pinned report template so we can help!
