| Patch 1.0.12 | 2025-07-08 | Hey all, so sorry this happened but a bug slipped thru the last build which caused load issues. These load issues would roll back town levels and crops most notably, and sometimes some other stuff too. This has been fixed and will no longer happen, but if you loaded the game over the past 12 hours and got some rollbacks, all we can do is manually fix them ourselves. If you lost any progress from this bug, please submit a bug report and share your save files and email https://noteforms.com/forms/lens-island-bug-report-form?notionforms=1. In the report, tell us what you're missing and how you would like it returned. I will then manually add bac |

| Patch 1.0.10 | 2025-07-04 | More bug fixes and some new quests for you all. It slipped under our radar that the Act V quests we made had an issue and were not in the game at all. You now have proper quest tracking right up until the end of the game, and for all cursed dungeons too. ~ Julian + New Additions:Added new Act V quests and new cursed dungeon quests.~ Balancing Changes:Harvest Moons will now spawn more enemies due to a bug being fixed that altered their spawning to be lower. More info below. This does not affect the enemies spawned at resource outposts, only the ones spawned on islands/around your home. ! Bugs fixed and changes made:Fixed enemy spawning bug tha |
| Patch 1.0.9 | 2025-07-03 | ! Bugs fixed:Fixed characters missing in the Traditional Chinese translations |

We fixed this so it doesn't happen in the future if we ever need to balance Xp rates. |
| Patch 1.0.6 | 2025-07-02 | Just a tiny patch, will have some bigger ones in the coming days :) ! Bugs fixed:Updated a lot of untranslated words and broken characters. More notable changes include all location names now translating, level-up titles, resource names and descriptions, and various others.Made ability icon cooldowns display correctly (as always available) when the player has 100% ability cooldown reduction.Clamped elemental defense at 100%.Fix for boat markers not moving with boat when driven away by someone else.Fix boat markers sometimes jittering when moving. |
