Patch #6: Bug Fixes and Save & Resume System
Version 1.0 (1663), released August 22, 2026, adds saving on mission exit and continuing a mission from a save. It fixes the Iron Road two-shell train soft lock, Steam gold-medal achievements not unlocking, missing motion blur during screen-shake events, the impossible Iron Road consecutive-kills medal, a cat obscuring the station view while held, and missing Patreon Operator-tier, credits, and barrel names.
Checked pages: Settings (save/resume and motion-blur behavior), Run Progression (save-state boundary), Medals (gold and Iron Road medal fixes), Station Glossary (station interaction context), and Field Reports (player-facing names and credits context).
Patch #5: Minor Fixes and Improvements
Version 1.0 (1622), released August 15, 2026, fixes the desktop cursor appearing on the main menu and colour-blind modes not applying. It also reduces ghosting effects on the clock. The developer notes that a mid-mission save system is still in development; this patch does not announce that feature as released.
Checked pages: Controls (main-menu cursor context), Settings (colour-blind modes), and Audio Cues (clock cue reference).
Patch #4: Bug Fixes and Gameplay Improvements
Version 1.0 released on August 6, 2026. The August 12 patch fixed the Fire On Call early-clear failure and the final two Rock of Gibraltar medals, corrected newspaper dates and the main-menu cursor lock, reduced RAM pressure, adjusted Phantom Battery balance, and added color-blind modes plus camera tilt, world-space hints, and camera-shake controls.
Checked pages: Fire & Light, Counter Battery Challenge, Field Reports, Controls, and Settings.
Patch #3: Version 1.0 (1577)
Released August 10, 2026. The patch fixed missing cursors after tabbing out, mission and turret reset failures, localization errors, and off-centre Blindfire spotters. It reduced RAM and VRAM use, improved crash and error reporting, updated crater visuals, added an ultrawide stopwatch offset, and removed Chromatic Aberration from the pause menu.
Checked pages: Controls, Settings, Missions, and Firing Protocol.
Patch #2: Version 1.0 (1558)
Released August 8, 2026. The patch fixed save corruption and mission-entry failures after crashes, several station and cat-state resets, patron-name duplication, and engine-control lights. It improved mouse recovery and Discord account linking, and added a Motion Blur toggle for screen-shake events.
Checked pages: Settings, Controls, Run Progression, and Missions.
Patch #1: Version 1.0 (1547)
Released August 7, 2026. The first launch patch corrected Czech and French mission-intel text, the cat-drop tooltip, coffee-machine and pause-menu interactions, and the duplicate or incorrect newspaper and record at the end of High Tide.
Checked pages: Controls, Field Reports, and Missions.

Demo build 23834207
The first GameDB version of this wiki is based on Steam demo build 23834207. It includes demo missions, shells, requisition cards, maps, targets, medals, controls, challenge scoring, audio cues, and station mechanics. The full game is now available, but these records are not presented as confirmed full-release values until current full-game extraction is completed.
Scope
The wiki separates confirmed full-release announcements from the structured demo data. Prototype or unavailable entries remain held back until current full-game extraction confirms their release state.
Earlier compatibility coverage: the 2026-07-10 IRON NEST playable on Steam Deck announcement covers the demo and 1.0 and asks players to report bugs, crashes, or performance issues through the dedicated report form; it does not claim Valve Verified.
