Do not mistake platform rules for bugs
Steam and Nintendo multiplayer remain separate. Cross-save has been discussed as a future plan, but no release date is confirmed.
Clients running a different game version cannot connect to the host. Update every device before troubleshooting a lobby.
Deeds and core island progress belong to the host island. Visitors keep their character-side skills, licences and inventory progress.
Default controls work and performance is supported, but some in-game text may still be small on the handheld display.
!
Back up before experimenting with fixes or mods.
Do not overwrite a healthy local save with an older cloud copy. Close the game fully before copying files, and keep a dated backup outside the active save folder.
Status policy: Last checked July 16, 2026. The current version number is based on the published 1.0.8 update record and subsequent official hotfix posts. A Steam depot change alone is not treated as a new public gameplay version.
