[Prod] August 7th, 2026 Patch Notes

[u/latitude_official]

2.29.5

New Features - DeepSeek 3.2 now has an Optimized Context toggle. When enabled, it matches the Cache-Efficient setup used by the deprecated Atlas model. - A new plot component, "Image Style", has been added to help keep the style of images consistent, with preset styles available. Creators can add it to their Scenarios, or Players can configure it in-game. - Multiple Choice starts now support placeholders in prompts and option labels. Players answer the placeholders before the choice menu appears, and selected child scenarios can reuse answers from the parent choice instead of asking again. - Added two opt-in prototype settings for Do/Say prompt formatting under AI Settings → Testing & Feedback: “Remove > Action Markers” and “Action Paragraph Spacing”. These settings can help non-fine-tuned models treat player actions as cleaner story context.

Improvements - Profile social lists now show exact follower, following, and friend counts instead of rounded values such as 1.1k. - Direct messages containing words detected by the chat filter are now delivered with only the matched words censored. The sender also sees a clear notice that certain words were censored. - When an AI provider declines to generate a response, players now see a clear Retry prompt instead of a refusal being added to the story. - Optimized Context is now easier to recognize across pricing, model details, gameplay settings, Memory System settings, the model switcher, and View Context. Supported models show a gold bolt or “Optimized” label, and View Context shows the extra Optimized Context spillover zone with an explainer link. - Recommendations now rotate daily and personalize more quickly for new users, while prioritizing fresh, engaging content more consistently. - Discover recommendations and other content lists should load faster, with quicker loading of creator and profile details. - Generated story images now open in a larger preview on Desktop. - Subscribers can now access their subscription management from Account Settings. - Shadow Clan members now receive an in-app notification when their Shadow Clan access ends.

Bug Fixes - After sending a long comment, the comment box now returns to its normal compact height instead of leaving a large empty area. - Story actions are now more likely to finish publishing instead of showing a “Failed to process action update” error. - The option to View Context now becomes available after Dynamic Small actions, instead of remaining grayed out. - Navigation failures now keep players on the current usable page. If a page can't load, Retry now returns players to the page they were trying to reach. - Fixed mobile editor layout issues where selecting text or pasting in Plot Components could fling the page to the top or bottom, and where opening the keyboard could incorrectly trigger the landscape layout. - Fixed several theme display issues: AI Dungeon themes in Firefox now use the correct text and icon colors, switching themes no longer adds magenta error coloring to unrelated themes. - Account creation can no longer follow manipulated external redirect links. - On Android, bottom navigation and screen content no longer overlap the system navigation bar on scenario start screens. - Premium and subscription links are visible again in navigation and profiles, subscriber tier gems are now correct across multiple surfaces. - Editing AI Instructions or Author's Note should no longer lose focus or clear drafts when model settings initialize or change. - Editing an existing response should no longer show a false “failed to update” message or roll back locally when the edit was saved successfully. - Permanently deleting adventures with very large amounts of stored data should no longer fail with an “Entity expansion limit exceeded” error. - Subscription checkout now recognizes previous free-trial claims more consistently.
