Update 4.4.4
2026-08-25Features of Update 4.4.4 1. Fixed — desktop display scaling. Setting User OS display above 100% could make the game unplayable oversized: the window opened larger than the screen and could not be dragged small enough to fit. The game now renders at its own size regardless of the desktop's accessibility zoom, and the window is always clamped to the available screen area. • Includes VR corrections, and though VR mode is implemented it is as yet unsupported officially (Launch Options, add a second entry with --vr as the argument).

2. Fixed — Certain UI elements persistently too small on large displays. The Quit / Save / New Game confirmation dialog was pinned to a 400px card with 1rem buttons, and the top control bar's labels stayed 14px however large the display got. Both now scale with the screen, along with the Size and Canvas/Theme buttons, the zoom and volume readouts, and the Canvas sub-labels (which rendered at 8.8px on a 4K panel). Anything at 1080p or below is unchanged. 3. Fixed — Canvas mode text sat off its ruled lines. The paper rules were drawn at a fixed 28px spacing while a line of text is 35.2px tall, so the text drifted further off with every line and was a full line clear of its rule by the fourth. Rules are now derived from the actual line height, and hold across paragraph breaks and any theme or zoom. Caption cards fixed the same way. 4. Changed — Chapter 1. Two scenes reworked, one promoted from a still image to video. 5. Changed — Opposing Princesses history and intro scenes both adjusted on aspect ratios to 1920×1020 to match companion scenes. 6. Changed — title screen. Original Ascension Video intro re-introduced within the slideshow/background reel.
