Patch 1.0.2: current fixes and known issues

Direct answer

Patch 1.0.2 is a quality-of-life, bug-fix, and crash-fix update. The official notes add new hairstyles, improve performance when AMD or Nvidia overlays share the game window, add beach-pier collisions, and add translations in French, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.

The notes also fix several progression and stability problems: the Shooting Star Festival softlock, unremovable Animal Toys, home-exterior letter timing, invalid Mimic feed rewards, duplicate Big Eggs, an Animal Festival birthday edge case, pre-unlock Bell Tower access, mistaken tool stacking, and the “Time Flies” achievement. They also list fixes for crashes involving file access, mana use, mounts, ladders, wedding cutscenes, animal sounds, and other interactions.

Known boundary

The official page says additional performance and graphical optimizations are still in progress and recommends updating graphics drivers when performance issues occur. Localization improvements are also ongoing. This summary does not promise a specific frame rate, a complete translation, or a save-specific unlock state.

Next step

Update to the current game version, reproduce any issue without mods when possible, record the platform and version, and use the official bug-report form for a reproducible problem. Keep a local save backup before troubleshooting.
