Checked 2026-09-05 · Applies to PATCH 1.0.12
Quick Answer
Patch 1.0.12 adds Steam Cloud saves, rebalances Piranha, slightly nerfs Tuna, limits item velocity, updates MetaVoice for voice chat, stops FishNet from overriding maximum FPS, preloads Radio music, and fixes Final Boss tail explosive damage. It does not publish numerical balance values or guarantee every reported bug is resolved.
Official Patch 1.0.12 changes
- Steam Cloud saves were added; launch and exit once on the PC holding the save you want to upload.
- Piranha was rebalanced and Tuna was slightly nerfed; no numerical values were published.
- Item velocity was limited to reduce the chance of items flying away or disappearing.
- MetaVoice was updated to 4.3 in an attempted voice-chat fix.
- FishNet no longer overrides the maximum FPS setting when joining a lobby, and music now preloads before the first Radio purchase.
- The Final Boss should now take explosive damage when landing on its tail.
Practical impact and evidence boundary
| Change | What players can act on | What remains unknown |
|---|---|---|
| Steam Cloud saves | Launch and exit once on the original PC before changing devices. | Recovery of already-lost, corrupt or overwritten saves. |
| Piranha rebalance / Tuna nerf | Retest old combat advice on the current build. | Health, damage, timing, reward and weapon values. |
| Item velocity limit | Keep important items safe and preserve a backup before troubleshooting. | A complete fix for every lost-item or missing-boat report. |
| MetaVoice 4.3 | Separate voice-chat symptoms from whole-game audio stacking when reporting. | A universal repair for voice or headset audio problems. |
| FishNet maximum-FPS change | Recheck the maximum-FPS setting after joining a lobby. | Performance outcomes on every system. |
| Final Boss tail explosive damage | Retest route advice carefully and leave room from your own explosives. | Damage count, placement, safe distance and speedrun impact. |
