Strange Jigsaws news & patch notes

-Fixed an issue in volcano where the circle could get stuck.

What's upcoming, in terms of patches/updates:

-Continuing to improve performance, gah.

-Fixing a bug with ultrawide, where the mouse doesn't work properly on startup

-Steam Deck update to try to get that coveted "Steam Deck Verified" badge

-Build for Mac

I'm working hard on the next games, which I should have something to say about before the end of the year. Updates are going to be slower, because I need to focus on making the new games.

Thank you all for playing!

Bugfixes:

-Changed an image in L5, so that it no longer uses the word "click" with controllers.

Puzzle tweaks:

-Sharpened the edge in Blue temple, so it's more clear that the piece fits there.

Other:

There have been some problems that a few users have had with running the game, and I have some custom builds available now to address those. To access these, you have to go to properties, then betas, and then there is a dropdown menu.

If the VRAM requirements are too steep, there is now a build that uses less than 400 MB of VRAM peak, which is called "vram-test".

If you have an AMD card which doesn't seem to run the game, I built the game with a more modern renderer that seems to help. This is the "gles3" branch. You can also use HDR monitors with this branch.

If you're playing on a version of Windows earlier than 10, the Steam client no longer supports those versions of Windows and the Steam API calls were failing, so I built a version without any API calls for achievements. This is "no_api".

I will maintain these and keep them up to date with the main branch. They should all have the latest bugfixes and changes as of 1.0.3.5.

Strange Jigsaws will release August 7th, 2025.

I hope you enjoy it.
