What changed in version 0.10.57598?
Paper Cult lists the following areas in the official announcement:
- selected texture resolutions were adjusted;
- Acts 1 and 2 received performance and stability work;
- Drift Correction should no longer lock controls when set to 1;
- army units should dismiss correctly;
- a specific close-and-reopen condition should no longer make Level 6 or MAX commanders disappear;

- several typos were fixed.
These are developer patch-note claims, not independent performance benchmarks. The announcement does not provide FPS, frame-time, memory or hardware results, so hardware-specific conclusions require separate testing.

How this latest-patch page is maintained
This URL targets the current-patch question and moves forward when Paper Cult publishes a newer verified version. Version-specific URLs remain unchanged so old links and search results continue to explain the game state at that time.
When a new update appears, we check the official version number, publication date, compatibility warning and complete change list before updating the answer above. Gameplay or performance claims are labeled separately unless they have repeatable, patch-specific test evidence.
