Sources & verification ledger
Revision checked: 29 October 2026 (UTC); earlier source checks retain their original dates. The store, original patch pages and Microsoft Windows LocalLow reference were checked directly. Patch observations below come from the original announcements in a cloud browser; they are official-source evidence, not gameplay tests.

The store supports the cleanup loop, Windows requirements, solo play, 16-player co-op and Cloud feature listing. The 1.0.3 notes support the host upgrade matrix and dated same-version requirement. The 1.0.4 notes support the historical backup policy, save compatibility boundary, JOONAS changes and capsule fix scope. The 1.0.5 notes add construction/refund changes, catcher-group routing, completion fixes, capsule limits, large-base packing and loading/performance statements. The researcher read the complete original announcement; none of those fixes were independently play-tested.
One important unresolved detail
The 1.0.4 page visibly renders the Windows backup path without normal separators. We preserve that malformed text in the backup guide and do not turn it into an asserted copy-ready path. Directory names are identifiable. The backup guide also provides a clearly labeled normalization using Microsoft’s documented LocalLow default; the actual game folder and recovery behavior remain untested. No manual restore procedure is supplied.
Evidence labels
- Official store or patch statement: a first-party statement read from the original page and attributed. A developer fix statement is not a guaranteed result for every player.
- Hands-on verification: no game, multiplayer, JOONAS or recovery tests performed.
- User report: none used as evidence in this candidate.
- Editorial guidance: non-destructive observation and preservation precautions, not tested mechanics or fixes.
