[Released - 4/25 Patch Notes]
Greetings, Divers! 🦑
We're excited to announce the latest update for Dave the Diver, bringing in some cool new features, important improvements (including key binding, which we know many of our divers have been asking for), and bug fixes to enhance your overall experience in the Blue Hole! Let's dive into the details!
◈ Updated Version
Windows: v0.6.1.795
Mac: v0.6.1.93.mac
◈ Update Details
⚠️Notice: Discontinuation of 32-bit OS support⚠️
While we initially allowed users to play the game on a 32-bit OS even though the minimum requirement for the game is a 64-bit system. However, we've experienced several issues while trying to simultaneously support both 32-bit and 64-bit systems. With this update, we will only support 64-bit OS moving forward. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.
[NEW FEATURES]
1) Key Binding System
For keyboard + mouse players, you can now freely change your key bindings.
Access the Keybind menu from the Title Page, Phone App, or the Pause menu settings page.
* Please note that this function is currently only available for keyboard + mouse players. (Gamepad and Trackpad updates may be available in a future update.)
2) In-game Settings Access
You can now adjust settings while diving! Access Settings through the button on the top right of the Pause menu.
[IMPROVEMENTS]
1) UV Light Recharge
The UV light now recharges over time, making it easier to navigate deep-sea areas with just one UV light.
If you already own a UV light, normal items will appear more frequently in boxes.
*Please note that this doesn’t mean that another UV light will not appear, it just means that if you have one, the chances of getting another one are lower.
Unchangeable options in Steam Deck's graphic mode settings are no longer displayed.
[BUG FIXES]
1) Underwater Exploration
Fixed an issue where Dave’s movements would appear abnormal when attacking pufferfish repeatedly.
Fixed an issue where some sections could be skipped during 'Protect the Baby Whale' mission
Fixed an issue where area entry pop-ups would sometimes not appear when entering a new area.
2) Sushi Restaurant / Farm
Fixed an issue where Dave would sometimes get stuck when going up the incline in the back row of the restaurant.
Fixed an issue where you couldn't start selling sushi if the noisy customer mission and VIP mission overlapped.
Fixed an issue where transferred employees reappeared when you re-log into the game.
Fixed an issue where Dave was able to go into areas that should be unreachable on the farm.
3) Others
Fixed incorrect key display for zoom UI when taking photos at PhotoSpots.
Fixed an issue where the "New" mark on the phone app would go off-screen.
Fixed an issue where the incorrect speaker would display in some dialogues.
Fixed several text errors.
◈ Notes
* If there are any changes to the details, we will update you through this notice. * Please update Dave the Diver on Steam to the latest version for the changes to be applied.
