Quick summary

- Performance: selected texture resolutions were changed and Acts 1–2 received optimization and stability work.
- Controls: fixed Drift Correction locking controls when set to 1.
- Army: fixed units not dismissing correctly and commanders disappearing after Level 6 or MAX under a specific close-and-reopen condition.
- Crossplay: Paper Cult still directs players who need crossplay to the Crossplay Beta branch.
Optimization changes
Paper Cult lists two optimization areas in version 0.10.57598:
- some texture resolutions were changed;
- Act 1 and Act 2 received changes intended to improve general performance and stability.
The announcement says more performance work is coming. It does not provide FPS, frame-time, memory or hardware measurements, so this page does not translate the official optimization note into a benchmark claim.
Bug fixes in version 0.10.57598
| Area | Official change |
|---|---|
| Controls | Fixed Drift Correction locking player controls when set to 1 |
| Army | Fixed army units not being dismissed correctly |
| Commanders | Fixed commanders disappearing after reaching Level 6 or MAX when the game was closed before another level |
| Castle Records | Fixed unlocked Charms displaying incorrectly after the previous patch |
| Text | Fixed various typos |
These are developer patch-note claims. We have not independently reproduced every before-and-after condition, so the page distinguishes the official change log from player-tested performance guidance.
What changed after version 0.9.57408?
Version 0.9.57408 focused on Castle Records, save recovery, health bars, Charm stack displays, enemy spawning, boss issues and level changes. The July 31 hotfix follows it with additional performance work and fixes for regressions or remaining problems, including the Castle Records Charm display.
The hotfix does not announce a new Hero, Emblem family or other large content drop. Paper Cult's current public development direction still puts stability, balance and bug fixing ahead of the next major content additions. See the Tears of Metal roadmap for the confirmed planned-content list.
