A new patch is live!

Hey Rangers 🌲

we’re back with another update!

First of all, a huge thank you to everyone who continues exploring the park, sharing feedback, reporting issues and leaving reviews. Your support really helps us shape Ranger’s Path: National Park Simulator during Early Access 💚

Today we’re releasing Patch V1.0.4, which focuses on gameplay flow improvements, stability, performance optimizations and a number of bug fixes reported by the community. We’ve also started to implement some balancing changes that should make daily routines in the park feel more natural and less repetitive.

Patch V1.0.4

Improvements & Adjustments

• Added FSR support to provide more performance options across a wider range of hardware

• Adjusted Time of Day speed and overall day length. Daytime is now longer after completing the onboarding missions

• Improved litter spawning balance across the map to reduce overly frequent respawns in maintained areas

• Improved NPC navigation behavior and reduced cases where characters avoided invisible spots

• General performance improvements and memory optimizations

• Additional gameplay flow adjustments and overall polish

Bug Fixes

Gameplay & Interaction

• Fixed an issue where the Litter Picker auto targeting could cause incorrect pickup behavior

• Fixed excessive litter spawning after completing all main missions

• Fixed an issue where some interactable objects could become stuck, including vehicles in rare cases

• Fixed excessive collision on fallen trees blocking trails

• Fixed animal behavior not being detected correctly by the camera in certain situations

• Fixed various mission spawned objects not saving their state correctly, such as footsteps

Environment & World

• Fixed an issue where the Violet Trail could not be properly opened after repair

• Fixed edge cases where NPCs could appear floating above the ground

• Fixed material artifacts visible on the bear in some LOD levels

• Improved navigation consistency for NPC movement across the park

UI & Localization

• Fixed localization overflow in Spanish and Latin American Spanish tablet UI

• Fixed a keybind collision between Hat toggle and Unstuck on gamepad. Tapping now switches the hat while holding the button unstucks the player

What’s Next

We are already working on further patches and improvements based on your feedback.

This includes continued balancing of gameplay pacing, additional quality of life improvements, performance work and of course new content updates during Early Access.
