Amber Isle - Festive Update is Out Now! - Update 4
Hey Folks! We've just released our fourth update for Amber Isle! 🧡
Patch v1.9.2 brings new decor items to the isle in an Amber Isle free update! This includes the Snow Dino, Winter Presents, GameDino console, Christmas Tree, and so many more new items to get you in the festive mood! 🎁
The Plaza has had a snowy makeover for the holiday season! The snow in the Plaza is automatically added and is a timed event, resetting in early January ❄️
This update also contains new festive winter boarders for photo mode and constructable house island decor items, including walls, doorways, windows and roofs!
Along with new decor items, we've been squashing bugs for Amber Isle! Our fourth update contains fixes to several bugs reported by the community. This includes the issues players have been experiencing where Bosco and Clover would destroy the shop. We hope you enjoy Update 4 and Amber Isle during the festive months! 🎄
NOTE: The sled inside the Tundra can currently create a softlock when used. However returning to the menu or fast travelling can unblock the game.

Hey Folks! We've just released our third patch for Amber Isle! 🧡
Patch v1.8.17 fixes numerous issues across the game, including soft locks in the shop & quests, issues with quest rewards, and flow issues. It also includes improvements to the UI, camera, and performance, and adds the ability to save customised presets.
NOTE: If you have been experiencing softlock issues when interacting with Bosco, Clover or any other Paleofolk in the shop, please clear your Steam cache. To clear your Steam cache from your Steam client, select 'Steam' in the top left of your client menu and then select 'Settings'. In the Settings panel, select the Downloads tab. Then select the 'Clear Download Cache' button at the bottom of this menu.

Fix: Issues where the game allowed you to enter the meadow or open the shop during the tutorial at an incorrect time causing the player to become trapped during various quests.
Fix: Adi disappearing and not sleeping during "Where is Adi?"
Fix: Mayor grants the player additional amber during the Ambience tutorial, allowing the player to purchase the required item.

⚠️ New save files can be overridden by previously deleted save files, causing a soft-lock
Please Note: If you return to main menu, delete your save file, and create a new one in it's slot, your deleted save will override the new one, causing a number of issues.
To avoid this issue, after deleting a save, restart the game before creating a new save - this will not cause the issue to appear.
