Hey everyone!
After a super exciting release day comes... lots of bug-fixing 😅
Huge thank you to all of you who’ve been playing, sharing kind words, and sending in bug reports - it means the world. I’ll be continuing to patch and improve the game as quickly as I can :)

Here’s the first official patch for Desktop Survivors 98!

🎮 Gameplay

• Gill Unlock Fixed: Gill’s achievement requirement "Survive 10 rooms in Dunes" no longer incorrectly requires 12 rooms to complete.
  
• Controller I-Frames: Increased invincibility frames when using a controller.
  
• Fire Trail Fix: Fire trails no longer deal damage while fully transparent.
  
• Level-Up Clarity: Added "Acquire" text to the level-up menu for items not yet in your inventory.
  

🛠️ Bug Fixes

• Boss Fight Crash Fixes: Boss encounters should no longer cause crashes. If you still experience any, please report it! (Wasn’t able to recreate it, so fingers crossed)
  
• Milo’s Mining Bug: Resolved an issue where Milo could break if you exited mid-level-up.
  
• Chest Soft-lock: Occasional soft-locks when opening chests should be resolved. Also added a "Take All" button as a fallback.
  
• Steam Achievements: Steam achievements should now be unlockable mid-run while in Desktop mode. If you missed any before, they should appear on the next launch.
  
• Cycler.dll Issue: Fixed a bug causing Cycler.dll to add weapons incorrectly.
  
• Desktop Scaling: Fixed a problem where desktop icons would shrink to original size after being re-enabled.
  

Minor Graphical Tweaks:

• Fixed a visual glitch with disabled dungeon borders.
  
• Removed weird gray line around in-game wallpaper edges
  

⚙️ New Settings

• Pass-Through Mode: New option allows you to click through the screen mid-run. The in-game cursor will hide unless hovering over game elements.
  
• Screen Shake Toggle: You can now disable screen shake effects in the settings.
  

🖥️ Overlay Performance

• Rendering Overhaul: Revamped the overlay rendering pipeline to help reduce frame stutters. If you're still experiencing major issues, please let me know so I can look into it further :)
