Tiny Glade News

Hey y'all! :3 Hope you're having a wonderful holiday break filled with the scent of pine tree and cinnamon 🌲🥧

If Tiny Glade runs well for you, keep enjoying it with your favorite pairing of pepparkaka / tomtegröt / glögg / julmust. If the game is giving you trouble however, read on!

We're having an influx of new players, so I'm also noticing a spike in crash reports. Most seem to be coming from external sources, so I've upgraded our crash reporter to detect those, and provide specific advice. Our nemesis, graphics crashes, have also appeared again. In order to help diagnose them, the patch now adds automatic logging of our internal rendering operations, and also links to a new troubleshooting section about those graphics issues. Hopefully this helps a few folks 🧡

Details:

• Add "rendering workarounds" to "Vulkan extension settings"
  
• Link to troubleshooting advice on "DEVICE_LOST" (GPU hang)
  
• Improve reliability of graphics driver crash detection
  
• Detect crashes due to a broken Vulkan subsystem (vulkan-1.dll)
  
• Detect crashes (potentially) due to ASUS GPU Tweak III
  
• Add logging of internal renderer operations
  

Stay awesome!

Love,
Tom & Ana

P.S. We always test our patches, but if you start having issues with the game, and you think it's due to our latest patch, we usually move the previous build to a Steam "beta". In this case, the previous build is available in the beta called "old-1_11_1a" (Right click Tiny Glade in your Steam Library → Properties → Betas → Beta Participation).

Oh my gosh, folks, you did it! Thanks to your nominations, Tiny Glade is one of the finalists in the "Sit Back and Relax" Steam Awards category 💖💖 We can hardly believe it, this is already beyond what we've ever expected :DD

if you'd like to vote for us in the finals too, you can do so in the box above.

Thanks again, you're all awesome!



Lots of love,
Ana & Tom

Oops! We accidentally gave fish and birds too many treats and they were being extremely hyperactive 😅😅😅 This is fixed now! Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks to everyone who reported the bug 💚

(You might need to restart your Steam client to prompt the update)

Hi, everyone! This is just a small patch with a few fixes:

Even though castle doodling simulator Tiny Glade has a lot of flexibility in letting your imagination run wild, the game still features a few restrictions that can affect your builds. A prime example of this is the limitation on how many lights you can adorn your buildings with. Usually, you're stuck with a measly 32, but thanks to a new winter update, now you can add enough lights to make your builds visible from space...
