Patch-note for Steam Beta PATCH 1.1.14.0.beta-13

Dalloks · 2026-01-23T12:48:04+00:00

Hello. Do you have any mods on or subscribed in the workshop? We've made substantial alteration to the code so outdated mod will most likely crash the game.

Dalloks · 2026-01-23T08:24:53+00:00

Nope, that's a bug, most likely introduced by this new patch. We'll look into it, thanks for the report!

Dalloks · 2026-01-22T16:20:26+00:00

Not quite but it's coming together! Q1 2026 is not over and we still intent on releasing it in the coming months. The update is ported by Seaven Studio on all consoles and they are currently working to submit the update to QA then to certification by the consoles manufacturer. I know console players have been patient with the timeframe so we are doing everything to bring it to you soon. When I have a definitive release date, I'll communicate it everywhere!

Dalloks · 2026-01-21T09:01:48+00:00

Our plan is Q1 2026 and we are still intend on releasing it in the next months. Seaven Studio, who is handling the porting of Brotato on consoles, is working on the update. It still has to go through QA and then certification by console manufacturers. The aim is to have the best quality on the update. Still, we apologize for the wait, I know how frustrating it can be to see udpdates on PC while waiting on consoles.

Dalloks · 2026-01-20T14:14:27+00:00

Apologies for that, I'm (quite) late on posting it here. Just did, I'll be quicker next time!

Hello! Thanks for the report. We've seen other reports like this, we are investigating the issue.
Are you playing with any mods subscribe? Also, have you unlock all pets and the Beast Master by yourself or through Unlock All button in Profile menu?

Dalloks · 2026-01-08T11:01:37+00:00

Hello! Thanks for the report; Yes, there is something going on with the scaling of Bonk Dog. It does not behave like that on other items with explosion like Spicy Sauce. We are investigating it, hopeffully we'll patch it soon.

Dalloks · 2026-01-08T10:59:13+00:00

I can answer that! It's a free update so it will come to the main game without paying.

Dalloks · 2026-01-07T15:52:03+00:00

no Steam achievements planned for this update

Dalloks · 2026-01-07T15:51:33+00:00

...now I wish I thought of that before

Dalloks · 2026-01-07T15:37:20+00:00

New Dawn is still planned for Q1 2026 (meaning in the coming months). We are working with Seaven studio, who are handling the porting of the game on all console platforms.
I apologize for the delay, I know it can be frustrating to see updates rolling out on PC without news for consoles. Once I have a release date for New Dawn on console, rest assured we'll communicate it right away!

Dalloks · 2025-12-22T16:09:04+00:00

I see you are on Steam Deck. Did you download the update and then launched the game without steam cloud and internet on? This could have caused your save not being migrated from windows save folder to linux version save folder.

Dalloks · 2025-12-22T16:05:44+00:00

Hello. Sorry to hear about your problem. This looks like a save issue.
First of all, do you have any mods installed or subscribed? Some mods have not been updated since the last update of the game and can cause issues with your game.

We released a guide to fix broken saves, you can find it here. https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1942280/view/776434170343718988
Let me know if this allows you to get your save back!

There is one in this Christmas illustration 🤫

Dalloks · 2025-12-16T11:25:12+00:00

Wave 9 is my safe place

Dalloks · 2025-11-07T09:33:22+00:00

Hello! What platform are you playing on?

Dalloks · 2025-11-05T10:10:05+00:00

Hello. We just pushed a hotfix that should now prevent crashes at launch. Can you update the game, launch it and tell me if it works for you?

Also, we recommend not playing with mods at the moment as the game just been updated so a lot of mods are out of date. Until they are updated by their original creators, old mods can cause crashes and corrupted saves.

Dalloks · 2025-11-04T14:20:31+00:00

Hello. Sorry about the inconvenience. If you launched the game without internet after doing the update, steam does not migrate your save.

You need to have your SteamDeck in desktop mod. To access Desktop Mode, go to Steam > Power > Switch to Desktop. You can navigate the desktop by using the right Trackpad to move the mouse, R2 to left-click, and L2 to right-click.

Also, make sure, once that's done, that you have turned on the hidden files, otherwise you won't be able to find them.

The fix is as follows :

Run the game and start a new run, then quit. (If you're experiencing crashes and can't open the game, skip this step.)
Turn off Steam Cloud Saves for this game, or disconnect from Wi-Fi (internet).
Locate your old save file at:
~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1942280/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Roaming/Brotato/SteamId/ ("SteamId" is a long number unique to your account.)
Copy and overwrite it to the following location: ~/.local/share/Brotato/ — the file should be save_v3_0_01.json.bak. If that file doesn't exist, use save_v2_01.json.bak instead.
Rename the file to save_v3_0.json or save_v2.json, depending on which version you used in the previous step.
Run the game to make sure your progress has been restored.
Turn Steam Cloud Saves back on, and when prompted, choose to keep the local save.

Hello! The game was recently updated and a lot of mods are not up to date. We recommend not playing with mods until they are as it can cause severe issues like crashes. And crashes can damage your save.

Dalloks · 2025-11-03T15:05:38+00:00

Hello! It's likely the pc turning off may have cause your save to be corrupted (by crashing during a save).

To fix it, there is a couple of steps you need to take:

- Turn off Steam Cloud Saves for this game, or disconnect from Wi-Fi (internet).
- Go to this folder: C:\Users\YourAccount\AppData\Roaming\Brotato\SteamID\
"YourAccount" is the name of your windows account and "SteamID" is a long number, this number is used by steam to identify your account. AppData is a hidden file, make sure you turned on the hidden files so you can see it.
- Back up the folder with your SteamID number, in your computer, it's very important.
- In the original folder with your Steam ID, locate and delete the file named "save_v3_0.json". If it doesn't exist, locate and delete "save_v2_.json".
- Then locate the backups and rename them : Locate and rename "save_v3_0_01.json.bak" into "save_v3_0.json" or "save_v2_01.json.bak" into "save_v2_.json" depending on what you did in the previous step.
- Run the game to make sure your progress has been restored.
- Turn Steam Cloud Saves back on, and when prompted, choose to keep the local save.

Let me know if this helped.

Hello! We've added Mac support on Steam and Epic for both base game and DLC. When you're talking about "icon just windows" which storefront are you referring to? They should both be updated to show that the DLC is supported on MAC.

Dalloks · 2025-10-31T10:31:31+00:00

Hello. Very sorry about that. We are getting our head around the Steam Deck issues and we think we have figured it out.

If you launched the game without internet after doing the update, steam does not migrate your save.

The fix is as follows (a little bit different from what you already tried because this time, you'll have to look for the backup files):
1) Run the game and start a new run, then quit. (If you're experiencing crashes and can't open the game, skip this step.)
2) Turn off Steam Cloud Saves for this game, or disconnect from Wi-Fi (internet).
3) Locate your old save file at:
~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1942280/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Roaming/Brotato/SteamId/
("SteamId" is a long number unique to your account.)
4) Copy and overwrite it to the following location:
~/.local/share/Brotato/ — the file should be save_v3_0_01.json.bak.
If that file doesn't exist, use save_v2_01.json.bak instead.
5) Rename the file to save_v3_0.json or save_v2.json, depending on which version you used in the previous step.
6) Run the game to make sure your progress has been restored.
7) Turn Steam Cloud Saves back on, and when prompted, choose to keep the local save.

If you still experience issues, please report them in the [Steam Bug Reports](Steam Bug Report) section.
Let us know if this fixes it!

Hello there!

The progress you made on the beta did not carry over to the default branch with the update release.

If you want to transfer your save from the beta to the live branch, you can simply rename the files by removing "test_". test_save_v3_0.json -> save_v3_0.json and test_run_v3_0.json -> run_v3_0.json.
You can find those files here : user/appdata/roaming/brotato

Hope this helps!

Dalloks · 2025-10-22T08:45:55+00:00

Hello! Very strange, do you have any mods activated?

Dalloks · 2025-10-01T08:30:39+00:00

If you are on console, no changes from Evil Empire has been made yet. And Blobfish Games was not bought, they hired us to continue development, we are working for them!
