Sunkenland Hotfix v0.8.21 Patch Notes (14th July 2026)
A quick hotfix addresses ship handling and legacy save file problems in Sunkenland.
Hotfix v0.8.21 landed today, tackling two issues that were clearly causing friction for players: wonky ship movement and save file compatibility.
The ship speed fix is the one that'll matter most in practice. If your vessel was behaving oddly during navigation, that's now sorted. The second fix targets an older problem that's been lingering since earlier game versions: save files weren't displaying properly, which is exactly the kind of blocker that makes returning players abandon a run. Getting those legacy saves working again removes a genuine barrier to picking the game back up.
Neither change is flashy, but both are necessary. The dev team's also asking players to report any remaining issues through Discord or Steam Community, with specific details about hardware, game version, save files, and reproduction steps. That level of detail in bug reports does help identify problems faster.
The full list, including the ship movement speed adjustment, is below.
