Hello everyone,

Patch 1.10.3.12 is here, and with it comes a significant performance boost in path-finding across different game speeds. Farms and gathering jobs (Stone, Wood, Boar, etc.) should all feel much smoother now. And yes, that means the infamous Wheat harvesting x3 bug is no more!

This has been one of the most noticeable issues, and since the fix was ready ahead of schedule, we wanted to get it into your hands right away, rather than wait for the upcoming QOL update.

We have also widened the scope of the RX500 crash fix to include additional AMD Polaris GPUs. Let us know if you are still having persistent crashes on an AMD Polaris (architecture) GPU.

Changelog

Fix

• Performance issues affecting farms and gathering jobs (x3 bug)

• Frequent crashes on AMD Polaris GPUs

Localisation

• Updated Thai community translation

• Updated Czech community translation

Hi everyone,

We’ve just rolled out Patch 1.10.3.11, and it’s available to download right now.

The primary goal of this update is to fix a major issue that was causing frequent (and often game-breaking) crashes on AMD RX 500 series graphics cards. With this patch, players using those cards should finally be able to enjoy Foundation 1.0 without constant interruptions.

Due to limited driver support for these older GPUs, resolving the crash has been complicated, however, after internal and community testing, this fix is looking stable. That being said, we recommend playing on medium graphics settings if you're using an RX 500 series card. In community testing, higher settings occasionally still led to instability, whereas medium settings consistently ran without issues.

Changelog

• Fix frequent crash on AMD Radeon RX 500 series

• Some fixes for other rare crash scenarios

• Minor additions to the modding API

• Update Turkish community translations

If you want to dive deeper into the modding updates, you’ll find more details on our modding wiki. 

Looking ahead, we’re working on a larger Quality of Life update. This upcoming patch will introduce a number of much-requested features, along with performance improvements (including the notorious wheat production 3x bug). More details will be shared in a future post.

Thanks for your continued support, and happy building!
