[h3]What's next?[/h3]
Look forward to a major update coming next week!
Details to be revealed soon.

[h2]Launching the game[/h2]
If your game doesn't start up (and it closes immediately again), you can try to using a different Proton version: 6.3-8

1. Open your game settings from the Steam launcher
   
2. Go to compatibility
   
3. Check the Checkbox "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool"
   
4. Select Proton 6.3-8 from the list

[h2]My saves from the demo are gone![/h2]
Unfortunately this is due to the folder structure on Proton being different than Windows, but your saves aren't lost. We are working on a solution to automatically copy these files over, but for now you have to do it manually:

First, here is how to get to your files on Steam Deck:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqYgPf4u2yc

1. Close the game.
   
2. Go to:
   /home/[yourusername]/.local/share/steam/steamapps/compatdata/3247140/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/appdata/Roaming/
3. Copy the whole frameland folder
   (this is the folder holding your demo saves)
4. Go to:
   /home/[yourusername]/.local/share/steam/steamapps/compatdata/2137750/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/appdata/Roaming/
   (the difference here is just the end of the number: 2137750 instead of 3247140)
   
5. Careful!
   If there already exists a frameland folder here, it means you already saved settings or have a savegame from the full version. Instead of deleting it, rename it to frameland2 or something, just in case.
   
6. Paste the folder in here
   If there already exists a frameland folder, overwrite it (see above point to not lose data)
   
7. Restart the game.
   Your savefiles and settings should all be restored from the demo.
   

[hr][/hr]
[h3]If this doesn't work for you, here are a few more options:[/h3]

• Here is a save file that is at the end of the demo: Savefile
  (there will hardly be any differences unless you spent hours grinding).
  Just copy it to the same location from above (step 4):
  /home/[yourusername]/.local/share/steam/steamapps/compatdata/2137750/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/appdata/Roaming/frameland

[h3]We Fixed a critical bug, that would lead to characters
gaining more HP than usual on a level-up![/h3]

If you are below level 10, you are unaffected by this change.

If you are above level 10, some of you characters might have a bit lower HP now.
If your HP was lowered, we put one Vigor Source item into your inventory as a small compensation.

Why did you lower my HP?
If left as is, this would have seriously impacted game balance.
The game, especially later on, would then be no challenge at all.

Dear friends,

We’re excited to launch version 1.1 of Frameland today!

[h2]German Translation[/h2]

As promised, we're releasing the German translation today. Since our team is German-speaking, we handled the translation ourselves, so we're confident that both the English and German experiences are equal in quality.

For now, you’ll need to switch the language in Settings on the Title Screen. Automatic language detection based on Steam settings is not supported.



[h2]Reviews & Feedback[/h2]

If you’re enjoying the game, leaving a review here on Steam would be awesome! Every single review makes a big difference in our visibility, helping more players discover the game.

We also love reading your honest feedback—what you like and what could be improved—whether in Steam discussions, on Discord, or on our social media, so we can continue refining the game.

[h2]Patch Notes[/h2]
We've fixed a few minor bugs:
- Resolved an issue with the castle minigame that could cause players to be placed out of bounds
- Fixed screen flickering that occasionally occurred after battles
- Corrected an issue where an ability wouldn’t KO an enemy even when their HP reached 0 😭
- Fixed item descriptions to prevent them from breaking out of the screen during battles
- Minor script and wording improvements

Thanks for the amazing feedback so far! Next stop: side content — we've got some exciting stuff that we will announce soon!

Cheers,
Markus, Sebastian & Mario

Fixed an issue that would prevent further progress after running into one of the guards.
Thanks for reporting the issue Ryol!
