Hey y'all! :3 Hope you're having a wonderful holiday break filled with the scent of pine tree and cinnamon 🌲🥧

If Tiny Glade runs well for you, keep enjoying it with your favorite pairing of pepparkaka / tomtegröt / glögg / julmust. If the game is giving you trouble however, read on!

We're having an influx of new players, so I'm also noticing a spike in crash reports. Most seem to be coming from external sources, so I've upgraded our crash reporter to detect those, and provide specific advice. Our nemesis, graphics crashes, have also appeared again. In order to help diagnose them, the patch now adds automatic logging of our internal rendering operations, and also links to a new troubleshooting section[pouncelight.games] about those graphics issues. Hopefully this helps a few folks 🧡

Details:

• Add "rendering workarounds" to "Vulkan extension settings"
  
• Link to troubleshooting advice on "DEVICE_LOST" (GPU hang)
  
• Improve reliability of graphics driver crash detection
  
• Detect crashes due to a broken Vulkan subsystem (vulkan-1.dll)
  
• Detect crashes (potentially) due to ASUS GPU Tweak III
  
• Add logging of internal renderer operations

Stay awesome!

Love,
Tom & Ana

P.S. We always test our patches, but if you start having issues with the game, and you think it's due to our latest patch, we usually move the previous build to a Steam "beta". In this case, the previous build is available in the beta called "old-1_11_1a" (Right click Tiny Glade in your Steam Library → Properties → Betas → Beta Participation).
