Safe update workflow

Use 1.0.015 as the troubleshooting baseline. Protect the save before changing anything, retest the symptom once, and record the platform, device and action order. Apply a workaround from 1.0.013r or an older patch only when the same symptom still reproduces.

  • Confirm build 1.0.015
  • Protect the save
  • Retest the symptom once
  • Record platform, device and action order
  • Use a historical workaround only if it is still relevant

What 1.0.013r changed

Use the official wording as the status boundary. A listed fix means retest on 1.0.013r before applying an old workaround; it does not mean every similar-looking symptom has the same cause.

06

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.

07

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.

08

FAQ: Is 1.0.011r still current?

No. It is useful patch history. Hotfix 1.0.015 is the current playable build, while 1.0.013r remains the latest full patch-note reference.

09

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.

10

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.

Official information, observable release behavior, and community reports are deliberately separated. A community report is not presented as a universal fix until it can be reproduced or supported by current patch notes.
