The awards season is in full swing and fans, we have another one we'd love to get your votes for!
Sable is nominated in the Best Debut Indie category in The Game Awards.
It would mean the world to us at Raw Fury, Greg and Dan if you'd consider gliding in and give Sable your vote. ♥
Sable Patch 3.5.12 is now live!
Hi everyone,
We're here with a new patch for Sable that'll fix some of those pesky bugs and introduce performance updates.
Performance
Added a custom culling system to improve performance and frame rate across the game.
Settings
Slightly increased colour contrast for higher visibility by default. You can make further colour adjustments in the Display tab in the Settings menu.
Gameplay
Restored the Shade of Eccria symbol hints in Eccria. You should now find it easier to locate the item Maz told Sable about…
Bugfixes
Fixed an issue that causes Sable's masks to unequip when the player reloads the save.
Fixed several issues where certain sound effects would get stuck in an infinite loop.
Fixed an issue that could cause the Dunboyne puzzle to softlock after reloading a save game.
Fixed an issue that would cause Sable to get stuck inside the Palm Forest shipwreck after reloading a save game.
Fixed an issue that allowed the player to multiply objects through the merchant screen.
Fixed an issue that would cause the money tracker to remain on screen indefinitely.
Reduced the area where the lightning effects from the Crystal Plateau can be seen.
Improved the physics of the pistons that launch Sable into the air in the puzzle ships.
Additional fixes to objects, collisions, and textures in the game world.
Thank you so much for your continued support. As always, feel free to report any bugs here: Raw Fury support
We've also heard on the winds that there may be some more patches incoming over the next couple of months. The breeze doesn't carry any specifics at this time, but we'll be sure to chat more about it when we can.
It's a busy holiday season, but please remember you're always welcome to unpack, relax and chill in these lands.
From all at Raw Fury & Shedworks, happy gliding!
Nominate Sable for the Sit Back and Relax Award!
The developers at Shedworks would love for you to nominate them for the Sit Back and Relax award. If anything, Sable embodies the spirit of this category: "This game is the antidote to a busy day. It's smooth, it's relaxing, it lets your worries melt away. This game is your moment of zen."
Sable is a non-violent game about discovery and exploration, all of our focus in development was around creating a warm, chill atmosphere for people to sit back and enjoy. Soft pastille colours transition between day and night as a stunning ambient soundtrack by Japanese Breakfast plays in the background. It's a game about riding the dunes, meeting new people and experiencing things at your own pace.
Park your bike, make your vote and then look to the horizon to continue on to your destination.
Keep on gliding and thank you.
The Stranger Update + Halloween Sale
A stranger’s rest near Redsee gates On metal steed, heir of the Shade The fullness of the mask awaits Seek the hidden for nocturnal trade
Greetings everyone,
Halloween is upon us and in time for this we’ve prepared a brand new update to fix some things in Sable, you’ll find the patch notes below. To further celebrate, Sable will also be available to buy at a 20% discount on Steam, limited to purchases made between October 28 and November 1, 2021.
In Midden, one entity in particular strikes fear into the hearts of wrong-doers. So in the spirit of the season, we have added a new set of clothes and cosmetic bike customization for you to find in the game. It takes a bit of consideration as well as searching, but we're sure that curious Gliders will find it before long! The set is a permanent addition to the game, so there’s no urgency involved.
Patch Notes
In this update, we have addressed the following:
New items: Spread fear as the Shade of Eccria!
Sable can now acquire a full set of clothing and bike parts to go with her Shade of Eccria Mask. Can you find the secret merchant?
Bugfixes
Improved cloth simulation, which should improve the performance across the game.
Fixed an issue where the merchant buy & sell screens would sometimes lose functionality, and another issue that made it possible for Sable to sell more items than she owns.
Fixed an issue where Simoon would fall through the world and disappear if the player tries to call for her from a very large distance. Simoon will no longer heed Sable’s call if she’s too far away, but at least she will stay put - better go back and get her! You can also reset Simoon's position at any time by fast traveling to another location using the Map.
Moved Simoon’s map marker below Sable’s map marker, so you can now see in which direction you’re heading.
Fixed an issue where the mouse would sometimes override controller input, rendering the player unable to make selections in the UI.
The player can now exit the Navigator with Esc as an option to Backspace.
Fixed an issue where the player could not select an unstarted quest with the mouse.
Fixed an issue where the wrong tab would be highlighted in the settings menu.
Fixed an issue where an autosave during the quest Sometimes a Well is just a Well would break Sable’s movement.
Fixed an issue where Sable couldn’t choose the Scrapper’s Mask at the end of the game.
Made adjustments to some areas where players reported Sable could get stuck.
Improved the SFX for when Sable is prompted to sprint repeatedly.
Additional fixes to objects, collision and textures in the game world.
Additional fixes to UI.
Settings
Added “Hold to Accelerate” accessibility option - this setting affects the acceleration of your hoverbike. When turned off, press acceleration once to start accelerating and second time to cancel.

Patch 3.3.6
Hi everyone,
We are happy to tell you that we have just released a fresh new patch that will take care of the following:
Improvements to stuttering and frame drops
Bugfixes
Fixed an issue where some players were unable to choose color palettes in the bike customization menu.
Fixed an issue where Sable could enter Atomic Heart and get stuck inside.
Fixed an issue where players could break the sequence of the quest ‘Heartbreak in the City’, resulting in Sable losing movement.
Fixed an issue where the skybox would flicker at dusk and dawn.
Fixes to NPC AI. Players should no longer encounter flying beetles and goats while traveling.
Players using mouse and keyboard can now press Ctrl to make Sable walk.
We are incredibly grateful to those of you submitting bug reports and again if you find any, please submit them here: Raw Fury support
The developers are continuing to work through the reports, and we will release more patches in due course and we appreciate your patience while we put the fixes in place.

FAQ of Known Issues
Hi everyone!
We are delighted to finally let you play the full version of Sable. We really hope you enjoy the game and can't wait to hear your thoughts. Please remember that Sable is best played with a controller!
You may encounter issues in the release version of Sable. Some of them have easy workarounds you can try if you come across one of them - fast traveling to another location or restarting the game usually does the trick.
Some of our known issues: - Performance issues and frame drops may be encountered, especially in areas such as the Palm Forest and the Petrified Forest. - Hoverbike not responding to call, or disappearing. This can be solved by fast traveling through the map menu. - Occasional crashes and freezes. Please see the section below on how to report these. - Graphic model clipping, flickering shadows, collision issues
If you experience crashes or freezes, or find any additional issues that break the game or hinder you from progressing in the game, please report them to the Raw Fury support portal. The devs would really appreciate if you attach a video or a screenshot of the issue, and a copy of your save file. That will help us a lot in our investigation!
You can find the support portal here: https://rawfury.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/1
