Quick start
Check the official patch announcement first, then reproduce the problem on a fresh save or after a reload. This page separates confirmed fixes from community reports so you can choose a safe next step without treating an unverified workaround as a guarantee.

Confirmed recent fixes
The official Patch #3 notes list several gameplay crash fixes, UI and audio corrections, event-card fixes, and improvements to shipbuilding information. Patch #4 fixed a tutorial progression blocker caused by building multiple Small Gun Towers and also corrected missing waterfall visuals in the Microsoft Store version.1
Still-worth-checking symptoms
| Symptom | First check | Evidence status |
|---|---|---|
| Tutorial objective will not advance | Confirm the game is updated; avoid duplicate towers on older builds | Officially addressed in Patch #4 |
| Crash at launch or new game | GPU driver, Intel-specific guidance, and official pinned thread | Official support thread; verify current build |
| Fetcher path stays slow | Save/reload, then inspect connection and warehouse inputs | Developer response plus player reports |
| Linux or Proton startup failure | Proton version, DirectX/Vulkan requirements, and distro-specific notes | Community reports; no universal fix |
| Achievement counter is stuck | Reload and compare the live Steam tracker | Community report; verify before retrying |
How to report a new issue
Record the build number, platform/store, map, save state, exact steps, and whether a reload changes the symptom. The official community hub points players to the save-file and bug-report process; include that information when contacting support.2
What this page does not claim
Community threads are signals, not proof that every player has the same bug. A workaround that helped one Proton setup, save, or patch may not generalize. We will update this page when an official announcement confirms or closes an issue.
