This update fixes a problem with save files and achievements that were introduced in the last patch. The last patch introduced a bug where save files were being saved to and read from a wrong location. This meant that users who played before the patch, couldn't load their saves. This has now been fixed, and your saves should be back.

Sorry to everyone who experienced the bug. If you have any problems or need further assi

Dear Elk Tourist 💌 We've just released a patch that brings Welcome to Elk to Linux! Until February 17, Welcome to Elk is 20% off to celebrate. (That's not the only platform it's launching on but we won't talk about that here... 🤫) Please note: Welcome to Elk is not automatically able to use Proton, so you must enable it manually to play the game. Instructions on how to do that can be found here. Please let us know if you have any questions. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34958233/b47c06dac48c7ceb2b1ffd67337192e90c1e927a.gif Share a Story with Us If you haven't already, you can join us for a chat on Disc
