Complete an in-game Firmware Update order
Check that the Notebook lists Firmware Update for the device in this order. Use the installed Unlock-ToolKit on the workshop computer.
In Zhain Gaming’s recorded IDM ThinkerDad order, Unlock-ToolKit shows that the device is ready, prompts for keyboard input and fills a progress bar. At completion the app displays SUCCESS and Finish, while the Notebook crosses out UPDATE FIRMWARE for that same order. Check both indicators before going back to the bench. The footage does not show the executable build.

- If Unlock-ToolKit is missing, obtain and install it first.
- Inspect the device and connect it as the order or software requests.
- Follow the prompt shown by Unlock-ToolKit for that device.
- Confirm the Firmware Update line in the Notebook before returning the order.
Historical notice: September 10 update delay
The September 10 notice said the update needed more time and named September 14 as a news event, not a release date. This is the earlier announcement, not the latest status. Follow Free update status for the later September 18 notice and the delay beyond September 21.
Troubleshoot a client update or recurring bug
Use the current public Steam release for troubleshooting. Protect the save, retest the symptom once, and record the platform, device and action order. The older version numbers below identify historical fixes; they are not instructions to downgrade.
- Check the installed Steam release
- Protect the save
- Retest the symptom once
- Record platform, device and action order
- Use a historical workaround only if the same symptom remains
Historical patch record — Patch history
These are earlier patch records. The historical full-patch notes and later hotfix remain separate entries; current release news is linked above.
- 1.0.015 — historical hotfix
- 1.0.013r — historical full patch notes
- 1.0.011r
- 1.0.010r
- 1.0.009r
Historical patch record — Hotfix 1.0.015: update before troubleshooting story progress
Hotfix 1.0.015 followed the 1.0.013r full patch notes. These entries describe that earlier release sequence. For a current problem, update through Steam before trying a workaround from this history.
Historical patch record — What 1.0.013r changed
This record describes what was fixed in 1.0.013r. To investigate the same symptom today, back up your save, record your installed build and branch, and retest on the applicable current release.
| Area | Official 1.0.013r status | What to do now |
|---|---|---|
| Saves | Five save slots added | Create a separate slot before a major route choice |
| Story | License and main-order blockers fixed | Update, then continue the progression checklist if still stuck |
| Sonic Bath | Lost-item bug fixed | Retest on current build before restoring an old save |
| Mac | Old Intel Mac support fixed | Update first; report remaining launch details |
| Marketplace | Rebalanced; details not itemized | Treat old prices as historical until rechecked |
| Soldering | Bugs fixed | Update first; keep old reset steps as historical fallback |
Competition, device, and controller fixes
The patch also names IDB Thinkerdad and XI-Box competitions, Atari Lynx, Blueberry Curl, Nony GoMan, gamepad tooltips and dialogue selection, firmware mechanics on gamepad, and inventory sorting. These are official fix categories, but the announcement does not publish per-device screw counts or new marketplace prices.
Historical patch record — Reports after 1.0.013r
A post-patch player report says some graphics can look softer or less distinct between settings. That is a community report, not a confirmed universal regression. Marketplace players are also asking what the rebalance changed; the official notes do not yet specify price, stock, rating, or condition formulas. Keep both under observation instead of creating certainty the notes do not provide.
Historical patch record — FAQ: Is 1.0.011r still current?
No. These version numbers belong to the historical patch sequence. Use the current official Steam announcements for release status, and keep the in-game Firmware Update job separate from updating ReStory itself.
FAQ: Does a listed fix guarantee every save recovers?
No. Update and retest first. A damaged or unusual save can still need a reproducible report.
FAQ: Where should I verify the version?
Use the official ReStory Steam announcements. Community threads are useful for new symptoms, not for establishing the current release number.
Cross-check this step with Unlock-ToolKit & hacking, then use Internet speed to choose the next action without changing several variables at once.
