The Plants Update is Available Now

[p]Hello,[/p][p]The Plants Update has arrived - a meaningful step toward making your retreats feel even more alive, softer, and more “yours”.[/p][p][/p][h3]New décor items[/h3][p]This update adds a fresh batch of cozy items to play with, focused on warmth, comfort, and atmosphere:[/p]
  • [p]Plants - bring a little life indoors (and out).[/p]
  • [p]Teddy bears - because every retreat deserves a quiet companion.[/p]
  • [p]Carpets - instantly warmer floors, instantly cozier vibes.[/p]
  • [p]Tablecloths - small detail, big mood.[/p]
  • [p]Deck chairs - slow mornings, long sunsets.[/p]
  • [p]Pillows - the universal symbol of “you can rest here”.[/p]
[p][/p][h3]New launch option: DirectX 11 (DX11)[/h3][p]This update also introduces a DirectX 11 launch option. If you’re not familiar with DirectX: it’s basically the graphics “mode” the game uses to talk to your PC.[/p][p]Up until now, Log Away launched in DirectX 12 (DX12) by default. DX12 can run great on many systems, but for some players it can also mean lower performance or crashes.[/p][p]With the new DX11 option:[/p]
  • [p]You should see much better performance if DX12 wasn’t playing nicely with your setup.[/p]
  • [p]If you experienced crashes, DX11 should be the stable fix with no crashes at all.[/p]
[p]How to use DX11:[/p]
  • [p]Go to your Steam Library → right‑click Log Away → Properties → General → Launch Options → select Play DirectX 11 (Compatibility).[/p]
  • [p]And if DX12 already runs perfectly for you, feel free to keep using it.[/p]
[p][/p][h3]Fixes, optimization & polish[/h3][p]Alongside the new items, we also tackled minor bug fixes, optimization, and general polish to keep everything running smoother and feeling better.[/p][p][/p][h3]Coming in January[/h3][p]We’re not stopping here. In January, we’re bringing:[/p]
  • [p]Kitchen furnishings & items (highly requested).[/p]
  • [p]Full compatibility with Steam Deck.[/p]
  • [p]Probably more surprises.[/p]
[p][/p][h3]Holiday wishes[/h3][p]Wherever you are, and however your year has been: Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.[/p][p]May 2026 treat you gently - with fewer rushed days, more quiet evenings, and at least a little time to slow down… even if it’s just for one cozy hour in your retreat.[/p][p]— The Log Away team[/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p]
