Deltarune Chapter 5 0.0.243 (Hotfix Patch) Notes (29th June 2026)
Deltarune gets another quick hotfix as Toby Fox tackles save file corruption, softlocks, and a few remaining crashes.
Toby Fox is back with version 0.0.243, the third hotfix for Deltarune Chapter 5 in four days. This one tackles some nasty edge cases that slipped through the last two patches, including a save file corruption bug that could brick your game if you lost to the final boss and then died elsewhere without saving in between.
The patch also squashes softlocks in a handful of specific scenarios: wind rooms where you don't dash properly, a giant yellow gun that could wander offscreen forever, and an invincible pair of glasses. There's a crash fix for the Pink Coin shop and an attempted fix for crashes when lyrics display onscreen. The scissor cutting ACT now has a failsafe timer so it won't hang if you're not moving fast enough.
Fox notes that with most common crashes and softlocks covered, the next patches will take more time. That's fair, at this point, you're hunting edge cases and specific room interactions rather than widespread stability issues.
Full Patch Notes
Hey guys, one more small patch here. As we seem to have covered many common crashes and softlocks, we'll be taking our time with the next patches.
- Fixed a bug where losing to the last boss of the chapter, leaving the area without saving, then getting a game over elsewhere would result in the file failed to load (dogcheck) screen.
- Fixed a crash in a room where you can spend Pink Coins.
- Attempted a fix for a crash when lyrics are displayed onscreen.
- Fixed a softlock when entering a room where you are blown upwards by wind, without dashing.
- Fixed a softlock where a large yellow gun could move offscreen forever.
- Fixed a softlock where a giant pair of glasses could become invincible forever.
- Fixed a softlock in a certain Festival after talking to the guy who regrets buying round things, saving, then reloading the game, then talking again.
- Added a failsafe to the scissor cutting ACT where the ACT will end automatically if enough time passes without initially moving.
- Sprites no longer disappear when trying to put your hands in the grape I mean eyeball bowl.
