| DUNE RANCHER FIXES: Linux Support, Field of view, Saving Bug & Achievement Fix | 2026-03-20 | Greetings Ranchers! I just delivered an update where I'm addressing the following issues: - I've still been unable to replicate the bug of save games not saving properly: I delivered an update to test if the issue would be resolved by changing how we save the game. I hope this resolves the issue! - Field of view increased to 70 from 60. (Unfortunately, there is currently no support for changing the field of view on runtime on the game engine I'm using) - Factory achievements were only retrieved when repairing the factory, now they should unlock when building it for the first time - The game is now available for linux as well! |

| HOTFIX: Camera Acceleration issues | 2026-02-07 | Some of the users who had mouse acceleration related systems, had issues with camera movement.
