Improvement
Patch 2.23.4
The complete notes for this update.
New features
- Apocalypse members can now gift Ultimate as part of their Shadow Clan, and the Shadow Clan gift options now display the correct tier names and gems.
Improvements
- Home, news, profile image, and image selection carousels now use browser-native snap scrolling for more reliable swiping and dragging. This should also prevent iPad users who are stuck in Desktop view from being unable to navigate sliding carousels.
- Gameplay scrolling and story editing should no longer create unnecessary lag, keeping adventure play and editing more stable.
- Credit tipping presets now start at 10 and offer 10/50/100/500, more in line with the value of Credits.
- Accessibility features like VoiceOver and TalkBack now announce plan names, prices, selected states, actions, and subscription terms more clearly.
- Checkout now better prevents starting a web subscription when an active app-store or PayPal subscription is already preserving access.
- Players should see fewer AI responses that copy the immediately-preceding story output verbatim. Learn more on our most recent Repetition post.
- Account deletion messaging now consistently explains that deletion is permanent.
- Improved the smoothness and performance of carousels on the mobile home screen.
Bug fixes
- The Scales retirement notice now links directly to our economy blog post, and certain Credit Purchase copies no longer suggest buying Scales.
- Fixed mobile gameplay input text being clipped at the left/right edges of the first and last visible lines.
- Fixed home carousel cards sometimes sticking to the pointer or drifting off-screen after dragging, paging, or browser focus changes.
- Fixed the “/reset” command, so retry counts now correctly stay cleared after refreshing an adventure.
- Fixed popup notification links being dropped in some mobile web flows.
- Fixed an issue where the Story Cards modals in Multiple Choice Scenarios were unconfigurable.
- Fixed the gameplay command bar jumping to the middle of the screen after erasing down to the starting prompt.
- Fixed an issue where the story text could overlap edited actions after erasing → editing longer → continuing.
- Fixed the Sticky Turn Input incorrectly closing after sending a turn. It now reopens after the turn completes, and restores typed text if the turn fails.
- On iOS and Android apps, getting a warning/error text while generating an image should no longer block the Retry Image or Close buttons.
- In the Android app, tapping the generated image ‘Download’ button should now respond instead of appearing inert.
- Model Settings should no longer snap back to older values while editing multiple settings back-to-back or rapidly.
- Editing Story Cards on a duplicated scenario no longer visually appears to change the original scenario’s cards.
- Non-USD native paywalls now keep the Google Play/App Store amount and currency together, rather than only displaying the USD dollar sign. Paid cards now also use the recurring price instead of the free-trial phase price.
- Profile bios now preserve saved line breaks and repeated spaces rather than clearing them.
- Various profile and content header fixes: Membership gems persist after hard refresh, profile actions update correctly when navigating between users, the ‘Friends’ option stays reachable even on narrow headers, and content-header controls no longer overlap with each other.
- Large-context Memory Bank adventures should now focus less on stale memories, avoid repeating memory text, and retain recent story context more reliably.
- New story responses no longer cause the story to jump back to the top during active play.
- Mobile announcement popups and notification prompts now keep their action buttons above the bottom navigation and device safe areas.
- Creator dashboard metrics now refresh when returning to a previously viewed time range, and all-time multiple-choice scenario totals now match canonical card counts.
