If you are returning to Fields of Mistria after the 1.0 launch, the current official patch is v1.0.6. NPC Studio published v1.0.5 on September 18 with performance, quality-of-life, localization, and bug fixes, then followed it with v1.0.6 on October 2, 2026 to address a memory leak introduced in v1.0.5 plus additional capture, display, gameplay, and crash issues.
This page is designed as the site's living update tracker. For a feature-by-feature explanation of the full release itself, use our Fields of Mistria 1.0 guide. This page instead answers a different question: what is the latest version, what changed in each post-launch patch, and which fixes matter to your current save?
What is the latest Fields of Mistria version?
Current official patch: v1.0.6
Release date: October 2, 2026
Patch type: stability, capture, display, gameplay, localization, and crash fixes
Version 1.0.6 is primarily a stability follow-up to v1.0.5. NPC Studio says it believes the memory leak introduced in v1.0.5 has been solved. The patch also restores OBS Game Capture/Window Capture support, fixes a black screen when returning to the main menu, corrects Fullscreen/Borderless mode behavior, applies delayed Russian and Simplified Chinese localization updates, and fixes several crash paths.
If you installed v1.0.5 and then saw rising memory or VRAM use, update to v1.0.6 before troubleshooting the issue further.

v1.0.6 patch notes
Version 1.0.6 is a stability-focused follow-up to 1.0.5.
Key fixes include:
- NPC Studio says the memory leak introduced in v1.0.5 is believed to be resolved.
- OBS Game Capture and Window Capture work again; NPC Studio notes a separate OBS cursor-display limitation and suggests disabling Native Cursor as a workaround.
- Returning to the main menu no longer produces a black screen.
- Fullscreen and Borderless Display modes are no longer swapped.
- Several visual, UI, audio, gameplay, and crash issues were corrected.
- Russian and Simplified Chinese text updates intended for 1.0.5 were properly applied.
If your issue began specifically after installing v1.0.5, test v1.0.6 before relying on a workaround from September.
v1.0.5 patch notes
Version 1.0.5, released September 18, was a larger performance and quality-of-life patch.
Its highlights include substantially reduced stuttering and improved frame pacing, better high-refresh-rate monitor support, additional furniture and character customization items, more French/Spanish/Russian translations, achievement fixes, and several crash fixes. It also fixed spouse schedule crashes around festival days and other edge cases.
Because v1.0.6 specifically addresses a memory leak introduced by v1.0.5, players should treat v1.0.6 as the current baseline rather than intentionally staying on v1.0.5.
v1.0.4 patch notes
Version 1.0.4 focuses on high-priority issues rather than new content.
The most important fixes are:
- Stillwell Mission Quests now correctly track defeated monsters.
- Stillwell objectives no longer display missing monster names.
- Missing character portraits in the final Mines cutscene were restored.
These are especially important for players pushing late-game Renown or finishing the Mines after 1.0.
v1.0.3 patch notes
Version 1.0.3, released August 14, fixed several issues that directly affect current guides.
One of the most important changes concerns marriage scheduling. Spring 14, Fall 7, and Winter 7 can no longer be chosen as wedding dates because they are preparation days for major festivals. If an older guide says every ordinary-looking calendar day is available, use the current restriction instead.
The patch also corrected a Museum completion issue where the reward letter could fail to provide its intended reward. This matters for completion-focused saves because the Museum is now fully completable in 1.0.
For current marriage rules, use the Marriage Guide. For Museum completion, see the Museum Guide.
v1.0.2 patch notes
Version 1.0.2, released August 7, continued the early post-launch bug-fix cycle. It arrived only two days after 1.0, so players who returned immediately after launch may have played on a version that changed several times during the first week.
The practical advice is simple: if a 1.0 quest, event, or interaction behaves differently from an August 5 video or launch-day guide, first confirm that your game is updated through v1.0.6.
v1.0.1 patch notes
Version 1.0.1 was published on launch day, August 5. It was the first hotfix after the full release.
Because v1.0.1, v1.0.2, v1.0.3, and v1.0.4 all arrived within two weeks, launch-day screenshots and walkthroughs can easily describe behavior that was already corrected later in August.
What changed in the full 1.0 release?
The patch timeline only makes sense in context. Version 1.0 itself added or completed several major systems:
- NPC relationship cap increased to 10 Hearts.
- 10-heart proposal events were added for all romance candidates.
- Marriage and weddings became available.
- The optional children system was added.
- Town Renown cap increased to 100 / Mistril.
- The Town Repair Questline became completable.
- The Museum became completable.
- Steam achievements were added.
- The Saturday Market and late-game vendor content expanded.
- New perks and late-game progression were added.
For the full feature breakdown rather than the patch-by-patch timeline, see the Fields of Mistria 1.0 Guide.
Should returning players start a new save?
No. Existing Early Access saves carry into 1.0, so you do not need to restart just to access the full-release content.
That means the most efficient returning-player route is usually:
- Update the game to the newest Steam build.
- Load your existing save.
- Check Town Renown rewards and new quests.
- Review relationship hearts and new 10-heart progression.
- Continue Town Repair and Museum completion.
- Return to the Mines if you have unfinished late-game seals or Stillwell missions.
Achievements can also be awarded retroactively when an eligible existing save is loaded.
Why old Fields of Mistria guides can now be wrong
A large amount of Fields of Mistria information online was written during Early Access. Several common statements are now obsolete, including claims that:
- marriage is unavailable;
- Caldarus cannot be married;
- Seridia is not a romance candidate;
- Town Renown stops below 100;
- the Museum cannot be completed;
- the Mines end before the current Ancient Ruins progression;
- Town Repair is unfinished.
When comparing guides, check both the publication date and the game version the author was using.
Latest update troubleshooting
My Stillwell mission is not counting kills
Update to v1.0.4 or newer. That patch specifically fixed defeated-monster tracking for Stillwell Mission Quests.
My Stillwell mission shows a missing monster name
Version 1.0.4 also fixed missing names in those objectives.
I am missing portraits in the final Mines scene
That was another v1.0.4 fix.
I cannot choose a specific wedding day
If you are trying Spring 14, Fall 7, or Winter 7, those days were explicitly blocked as wedding dates in v1.0.3 because they are festival preparation days.
I completed the Museum but had a reward problem
Make sure you are on at least v1.0.3, which fixed an issue with the Museum completion reward letter.
How this page is maintained
This tracker follows NPC Studio's official patch-note posts rather than treating storefront timestamps, old guides, or social posts as the authoritative current version.
When a newer patch is officially published, the most important fields to update are:
- current version number;
- release date;
- top player-facing fixes;
- patch timeline;
- any affected guide pages elsewhere on the site.
That makes this page a central freshness signal for the rest of the wiki.
