Percorso Patch Trims File Size and Fixes Arcade Save Loss
A focused optimization update addresses storage bloat, RAM overhead, and several mode-specific bugs that could disrupt progress.
The August 19 update for Percorso – The Retraced Steps is a quiet but practical release from developer KAoS 2.8™, prioritizing stability over new content.
What changed
Optimization & Performance
- Game file size reduced from 380 MB to 339 MB — a roughly 11% decrease
- Faster loading times and reduced RAM usage reported across the board
Bug Fixes
- Pet Shop Backdrop: A visual issue with the Pet Shop background has been resolved
- Retro Mode Pets: A bug affecting pets specifically during Retro mode gameplay is fixed
- Arcade Saves: A local storage fault that caused Arcade mode progress to fail to save correctly has been corrected
- Controller Navigation: Focus and navigation behavior improved in both the Pet Shop and the Editor when using a controller
The Arcade save fix is arguably the most consequential change here — lost progress in a dedicated mode is the kind of friction that quietly kills engagement. The file size and RAM reductions are modest but meaningful on lower-end hardware. Players who use controllers or spend time in Retro mode will also find the experience meaningfully tidier after this patch.
