v1.0.5 targets workers, crop genes, rewards and a Blackjack freeze. It does not explicitly report a fix for the prolonged startup black screen; the last specific official status for that symptom is from v1.0.3.
What v1.0.5 changes, and what it does not establish
The newest verified announcement in this review is v1.0.5, published September 28. Its fix list targets gameplay and display issues. It does not explicitly confirm a startup black-screen fix. Silence in a patch note proves neither that a problem is repaired nor that every current installation still has it.
For the newly covered problems, use Humanwood troubleshooting, crop-gene checks and missing friendship rewards.
Black screen: preserve the historical scope
v1.0.1 addressed one launch issue. v1.0.3 still listed a separate prolonged startup black screen and said a fix was being prepared. That earlier note supplied neither a guaranteed wait time nor a date. v1.0.5 does not explicitly close that report.
Record whether the menu eventually appears, whether audio is present and which version launched. Do not delete saves or repeatedly reinstall merely because a guide declares every black screen fixed.
An explicit il2cpp error needs different checks
A Failed to load il2cpp dialog is not the same symptom as a long black screen. Keep using the installation, quarantine and runtime checklist. Do not download replacement DLLs from an unknown source.
Golden Cage: entrance versus an in-match freeze
The older notes covered entrance/re-entry. v1.0.5 separately reports the Queen of Diamonds freeze inside Blackjack. See the card-game guide and record the exact trigger instead of grouping all Golden Cage problems together.
Save a reproduction, not a destructive guess
Make a separate save backup with the game closed. A useful report names the version, exact symptom, affected character or worker, and the shortest action sequence that reproduces it. Share private files only through an appropriate official support channel.
