ReStory Known Issues: Current Bugs and Patch Status

The latest complete patch notes in ReStory’s official Steam news feed are for 1.0.013r. The August 21 patch adds five save slots and lists fixes for story blockers, items lost in the sonic bath, memory leaks, older Intel Macs, Asian fonts, gamepad tooltips and dialogue selection, Firmware on gamepad, IDB Thinkerdad and XI-Box competitions, inventory sorting, soldering and several devices. The August 19 1.0.011r patch lists uncleanable parts, painting-palette UI, a Brick Game quest item, inventory QoL and several smaller fixes.

On August 22, a Steam discussion quoted developer Eugene Kisterev confirming a later hotfix, version 1.0.015. The discussion title displays 1.0.015r; this page preserves that naming difference instead of treating it as a separate release. The hotfix targets a specific story-progression failure after repairing the rock musician’s guitar. Recovery on every previously affected order or save has not been independently reproduced.

This page is an independent evidence tracker, not an official support page. “Official fix listed” means the developer named the issue in the patch notes; it does not guarantee that every old save automatically recovers.

Current patch and hotfix status

The same patch announcement also names Eggotchi, Goman and Brick Game fixes without detailing each original symptom. Keep those device claims at the official-summary level until a reproducible sequence or more detailed note is available.

Story stops after repairing the rock musician’s guitar

Update ReStory if the main story stops after the rock musician’s guitar repair. In the August 22 developer reply, Eugene Kisterev says hotfix 1.0.015 addresses this common progression failure and that receiving a 3-star rating at that specific story point is another indicator of the issue.

This is not the same claim as the launch Guitar Legend Firmware bug fixed in 1.0.009r. One concerns a story order after a musician’s guitar repair; the other concerns the Firmware service on Guitar Legend and MyPod devices.

The developer also warns that, in a rare case, a save started before 1.0.013 and already blocked may not recover after the hotfix. Keep the affected save and report a post-update failure rather than assuming a restart, reinstall, or repeated repair will restore it.

Community-reported problems still being tracked

The following reports are relevant, but they do not all appear in the official August 7 list.

Cleaning stays at 0% or does not react

Players have reported cases where the cleaning sound plays but dirt does not disappear, or progress appears not to move. Some older discussion history comes from the Demo or Playtest, while newer replies appear around the full-release window. That mixed history prevents us from assigning one root cause to every report.

Before treating the save as bugged, use the verified normal checks: select the correct loose component, inspect both sides, look for another dirty panel, and confirm that the work order still asks for cleaning. If the selected part remains at 0% despite the correct interaction, classify it as Community reported / Needs reproduction. There is no verified universal recovery yet.

See the dedicated Cleaning Not Working guide for the normal checklist and the evidence limits around 0% progress.

A part disappears or cannot be retrieved

Launch-window Steam reports describe small components disappearing or becoming unreachable around the sonic cleaner. The official August 7 post independently acknowledges that some gadgets can become stuck in the sonic bath, so the general problem is no longer based only on community posts.

Normal footage shows parts being placed in the cleaner, the timed cycle running, and the cleaned parts being removed afterward. A part that cannot be selected after the cycle is outside that verified normal path. Save/reload has not been established as a safe recovery; one report says a restart did not restore the missing component.

One player reported recovering a missing top cover by clicking and dragging the bath itself, causing the part to appear on the cursor. Treat that only as a launch-build community attempt: it is a single success and has not been reproduced across other components. After 1.0.009r, update first and use this older workaround only when documenting a persisting affected save.

Save or progression trouble after Day 1

There are launch-window reports of a crash or freeze around saving after the first day and of customer progression appearing to stop. Update 1.0.010r now officially lists a long save issue and possible crash on saving as fixed. That supports the save symptom at a general level, but the note does not identify Day 1, customer progression or every affected old save. Those narrower claims have not been reproduced in the current evidence set.

The verified normal end-of-day flow is to close the shop, use the bicycle/end-day interaction, select Save and end the day, review the summary, and continue into Day 2. If that sequence fails, record exactly where it stopped and report the save through the official bug channel. Do not assume reinstalling the game or starting over is a guaranteed fix.

The shop is still described as dirty

Players have questioned why dialogue or evaluation still refers to dust, insects, or an unclean shop after visible cleaning. It is not yet clear whether this is a hidden cleanliness mechanic, fixed story dialogue, or a bug. No official explanation or reproducible completion rule has been found.

Treat this as Community reported, not as proof that a particular decoration, broom interaction, or upgrade is required.

Achievement inconsistencies beyond the official list

The current WIP Steam achievement guide reports additional inconsistencies, including the wrong achievement appearing during early cleaning and trouble with some license-related or completion achievements. These are useful leads, but most are secondary community evidence.

The official August 7 list confirms that How Did I Do It and Frugal could unlock early. Patch 1.0.009r lists both plus Platinum Partner among its achievement fixes. A separate developer reply acknowledges an early Solder-related trigger; because that wording is not separately detailed in the new patch note, retain it as a launch report pending current-build retest.

What to do if you hit a known issue

There is no single reset procedure that safely fixes every launch bug. Use this evidence-preserving approach:

1. Note the exact device, order type, requested services, and day.
2. Capture the full message or screen state, not only the final symptom.
3. If the problem involves Firmware, record the Unlock-Toolkit version and the last connection message.
4. If it involves the sonic bath, record the missing component and whether the cycle completed.
5. Keep the affected save available for reporting.
6. Install the newest build Steam offers. For the musician-guitar story blocker, use 1.0.015 or later; for older listed issues, use at least the version named in the table.
7. Report a reproducible post-patch failure through the pinned Steam bug-reporting thread or the official Discord.

This list intentionally does not tell you to delete a save, repeatedly reinstall, sell a customer device, or abandon an order. None of those actions is verified as a safe universal recovery.

Patch status

August 7, 2026 — launch Known Issues published

The developers published the official launch Known Issues list and said the first update was being prepared. The post named the affected systems but did not yet provide a released build number or finished patch notes.

August 12, 2026 — first update 1.0.009r live

The official Steam news feed says 1.0.009r is live and lists Firmware, sonic bath, achievements, competition inventory, IDM disassembly, mail indicator, UltraWide, Eggotchi, Goman and Brick Game fixes. The developers also say the next update is already being prepared.

Each row still needs independent current-build review. A patch note verifies the developer’s fix claim; it does not prove every old save or every affected order has recovered.

August 14, 2026 — Update #2 1.0.010r live

The official Steam news feed says 1.0.010r is live and lists three fixes: a long-save issue and possible crash while saving, a blocker with missing screws in a device, and a minor Robby wire bug. The note does not name the affected missing-screw device or describe the exact Robby wire symptom, so those details remain unexpanded here.

August 19, 2026 — patch 1.0.011r live

The official notes add a one-click action that places gadget items into inventory, make sonic-bath cleaning count toward the related achievement, and list fixes for parts that could not be cleaned, painting-palette UI, a Brick Game quest item, store availability, Jack of all trades, Atari Lynx competitions and smaller visual/audio issues. The note also says the marketplace was rebalanced in the later 1.0.013r patch, so older price observations should remain dated snapshots.

August 21, 2026 — patch 1.0.013r live

This full patch announcement adds five save slots and lists fixes for license/main-quest story blockers, lost sonic-bath items, serious memory leaks, older Intel Macs, Asian fonts, gamepad tooltips and dialogue selection, Firmware on gamepad, IDB Thinkerdad and XI-Box competitions, inventory sorting, soldering and several device-specific bugs. The official post does not provide reproduction steps or promise that every old save migrates cleanly.

August 22, 2026 — story hotfix 1.0.015 confirmed by developer

A Steam discussion quotes developer Eugene Kisterev saying hotfix 1.0.015 addresses a common progression failure after repairing the rock musician’s guitar. A 3-star rating at that story point is an indicator. The discussion title uses 1.0.015r; the developer’s quoted version is 1.0.015. The same reply warns that a rare save started before 1.0.013 and already blocked may not recover.

September 14, 2026 — first free content update announced

The developers announced a free update with more story, a new character and a new gadget for September 14, with a longer-term roadmap planned for the same date. This is a future official plan, not live content; the page will not describe the new gadget or story before details are published.
