Officially acknowledged

Publisher warning for Intel 13th/14th-generation CPU stability

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

The October 6 notes identify known Intel 13th/14th-generation BIOS stability problems among the game’s crash causes and add a menu warning. This is a publisher warning for that hardware family, not proof that every Timberborn crash is a CPU fault. [2]

Officially acknowledged

Statistics do not show time before 1.1

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

Goods and population history is not retroactive. Tracking starts after the save is opened on 1.1 and play begins, so a missing pre-update graph is the documented behaviour rather than lost old statistics. [1]

Documented workaround

Old Sluices become Fill Valves on a 1.1 save

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

Loading a pre-existing Sluice on 1.1 replaces it with a Fill Valve. This is a documented save migration, so check the replacement’s configuration before assuming the old water automation was preserved exactly. [1]

Documented steps

  1. Review and adjust the replacement Fill Valve settings; the developer says some setups may also need Contamination Sensors. [1]
Resolved

Some consumption totals counted incorrectly

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

The patch corrects consumption counting for some buildings, explicitly naming Steam Engine and Mud Bath. Compare the affected building with the recorded fix before diagnosing an apparent statistics mismatch. [1]

Resolved

Random crash when loading

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

The 1.1 notes record loading-crash fixes. Keep a current failing save and the client’s version with a report, because the brief patch entry does not identify every future loading failure as already resolved. [1]

Platform and version details belong to the individual issue or guide section. A documented workaround may not resolve every case.
