Hello, folks! In this update we're deploying a whole rainbow of changes, primarily focusing on startup crashes due to other apps interfering with Tiny Glade's rendering. See [url=https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2198150/view/4172101902788149125?l=english]here for some background[/url]. There's also a few fixes of our own bugs, and a handful of improvements too β¨
[h2]A gentle cleanse of "implicit Vulkan layers"[/h2]

* Automatically prevent graphical overlays, FPS counters, ReShade-likes, etc. from injecting themselves into Tiny Glade. This should fix a bunch of startup crashes.
* Added a "Vulkan extension settings" launch option in Steam, so you can re-enable anything you need. OBS and Valve stuff are allowlisted by default.
* Added a "Graphics card selector" launch option in Steam, which causes the graphics card/driver screen to pop up.
Please let us know if you encounter any new graphical issues, or whether this fixed the startup crashes for you π Just in case, the previous version is available under the "1_3_1" beta in Steam.
[h2]Misc[/h2]
* We'd heard reports that ivy was still levitating inside arches, so we've done some additional gardening π©βπΎπ¨βπΎ
* Added a time of day speed setting ππ You can now have very long or short day cycles! (You can find it in Settings -> Game)
* Doubled firefly count at night because who doesn't want more fireflies!
* Making a new glade will now load the starting glade instantly (instead of showing a super quick creation process which can look noisy)
* (Windows) Enanced our crash reporter to also catch heap corruption errors
[h2]Fixes[/h2]
* (Windows) Fixed the game window not showing on old graphics cards/drivers. Tiny Glade still won't work on those, but at least now you'll get an information screen.
* (Windows) Fixed a crash when a monitor's ICC profile path contained invalid Unicode characters.
* Fixed a crash when loading odd font files from the system. We now bundle our own fonts, and only use those.
* (Linux) Fixed a bug where the graphics card selection screen would be black until you moved your mouse.
Thank you for sending us crash reports! π They've been very helpful in identifying these issues.
PS: aaaand we're also preparing a small feature update for the upcoming Steam Next Fest ππ£ Stay tuned!
Love,
Ana & Tom
