Patch 1.7.0 is now out on Nintendo Switch

Hi hello!! The 1.7.0 patch for Bear and Breakfast on the Nintendo Switch is now out and should be available to download! Thank you for being patient while we read through reports and did our best to identify and fix bugs that were affecting the Switch version of the game. The biggest number of reports were about crashes, which we identified as occurring due to Memory issues on the console. Over the last few months we’ve made a large number of improvements to how the game uses system memory and fixed a lot of leaks that caused the Switch’s memory to fill up too quickly and freeze the game, which could lead to a crash. After applying the update, we recommend restarting the console before jumping back into the game.

TL;DR Patch 1.7.0 for Bear and Breakfast on Nintendo Switch

Large amount of memory fixes to address crashes.
A good number of bug fixes.
All Fintastic Winter Update content added (Recycling, 30+ Deco Items, 3 new clothing items)
Added ability to Save the game from the Pause menu.
Added official support for Japanese.

A more detailed list of patch notes can be found at the end of this post.

08 FEB 2022 - 1.7.0 Patch Notes - Bear and Breakfast (Nintendo Switch)

Bugs and Fixes

Added a number of memory usage improvements. The game should make overall better use of system memory.
Made a number fixes for edge cases when discarding changes on a room edit.
Made a number fixes for edge cases causing loss of furniture items / museum exhibits.
Made a number of fixes regarding players getting stuck in map edges, nooks and crannies.
Fixed a severe bug caused by canceling furniture placement after previously splitting a stack.
Fixed “Rat Tat To It” granting multiple recipes for French Onion Soup when the quest would get back to “In Progress” if placing the soup somewhere else than the main inventory.
Fixed NPC sounds that would loop indefinitely if starting an NPC dialogue while they are performing an action.
Fixed Barbara’s Highlake Call cutscene focus point, which would leave her speech bubble outside the visible area on small resolutions.
Fixed Achievements never getting to steam if they are granted while offline. The achievements are updated when opening the achievement panel.
Fixed Guests unable to resolve navigation queries if the game gets saved while they are located in an unbuilt campsite.
Fixed Guests that never left if their room got deleted while they were scheduled to arrive the next day.
Fixed some edge cases causing objects to appear as unreachable, even though they were reachable.
Fixed the snap in Camera Transition occurring when repeatedly changing the focused house.
Fixed a bug that would sometimes allow players to use Triggers to move items from the Inventory to a full Stash, losing the items in the process.
Fixed Automation containers (Serving Tables & Boilers) not being locked right after loading a game.
Fixed Wall Attachments not checking collisions with other walls other than the one they were attached to. This caused edge cases where slotted surfaces (e.g. Wood Shelves) and the objects on them to land on different rooms, breaking the linkage. Note that old saves can contain furniture that was validly placed back then, but isn’t valid anymore.
Fixed Heating Status being reported as “Freezing” although it was quite Comfy.
Enabled further Zoom-Out
Added the option to Save the game from the Pause menu

Left/Right Trigger now automatically transfers the items between inventories while Looting, Stashing or Recycling.
The "Recipe Box" Cooking trinket now attempts to also fill ingredients automatically (instead of just cards).
Added option to turn the “Trail Mix” trinket off in order to reduce the movement speed.
Blocked the ability to completely remove a room’s tiles when editing an existing room.
Added a new quest to find Terry-Fin in A24, available after you've discovered the A24.
Added a new quest to unlock the Recycling feature, available at Anton after you've saved Wade.
Added a new Special Shop in all buildable areas (Timber Crossing, A24, Highlake, Winterberry and Pinefall)
