Every ReStory: Chill Electronics Repairs update — launch-day known issues (firmware bug, achievement unlocks), the first patch timeline and developer promises.
ReStory Update Patch Notes — Launch Fixes So Far
ReStory: Chill Electronics Repairs launched August 6, 2026 and the developer was already talking about its first patch within 24 hours — the launch-week announcement doubled as a known-issues list. This guide tracks every update, the bug list, and what the developer has said about what's next. For how the game itself works in the meantime, see the main guide.
Here's what you'll learn:
- The launch-day known-issues list (official)
- The first patch timeline
- The developer's communication and roadmap status
The Launch-Day Known Issues (Official)
From the developer's Steam announcement, posted within the first day:
- "How Did I Do It" and "Frugal" achievements unlocking early
- Updating firmware bug for the Guitar Legend and MyPod (see the firmware guide for the workaround)
- Unable to use inventory in competition mode (see the walkthrough for competitions)
- Error with the 'IDM device' disassembling
- Error with the mail tab button not indicating new emails
- Some bugs with UltraWide screens when disassembling
- Some gadgets getting stuck in the sonic bath
The developer said they were "already working on the first update to address feedback and bugs" within the first day, with most fixes slated for that first patch.
The Patch Timeline
| Version | Status | Contents |
|---|---|---|
| v1.0.005r | Launched | Day-one build |
| First patch | Was in progress at launch | Firmware bug, achievement unlocks, competition inventory, IDM device, mail indicator, UltraWide, sonic bath |
The first patch had not shipped as of this page's last update — check the Steam news hub for the latest announcement.
With a first patch pending, it's a good moment to back up your save — see the save file guide. Indie launch patches occasionally touch save-adjacent systems.
Roadmap Status
The developer's roadmap message at launch was about stability first: fix the known issues, then "continue working toward" Steam Deck Verified (see the Deck guide). There's no published content roadmap for post-launch features — post-1.0 content plans haven't been announced. Any roadmap news will be reflected here when it lands.
What to Watch in the First Patch
The launch-day list gives a clear picture of what the first patch is expected to touch, and a few are worth watching specifically:
- The firmware bug (Guitar Legend / MyPod) — the most player-facing item; the firmware guide has the workaround until it lands.
- Achievement unlock timing — "How Did I Do It" and "Frugal" triggering early is cosmetic for most players, but if you're chasing the 100% list (achievements guide) it can quietly inflate your counts.
- Competition-mode inventory — matters for the assembly competitions; using items mid-competition was broken at launch.
- UltraWide disassembly — a niche but annoying one for ultrawide users; the fix is likely a UI-scale change.
tinyBuild/Mandragora moved from "first patch within 24 hours" to a working build within the first week; for indie launches that's fast. If you're deciding whether to start now or wait, the game is fully playable — these are fixes to launch bugs, not blockers.
