What’s new
Version 1.2.8 · Updated October 20, 2026
FIXED: "Couldn't open your saved data" is resolved for the most common cause — stores last used on app version 1.1 (spring 2026). If you've seen this message, open Mud Portal again: your profiles, triggers, aliases, scripts, and map should be back. NEW: If a store ever fails to open again, it's diagnosable instead of a dead end. A Copy Details button on the failure screen, a Copy Diagnostics row in Settings > Support, and a pre-filled Email Support link all carry the real detail — never your MUD names, hosts, characters, or logs. FIXED: A rare background-wake notice that could wrongly look like data loss now says plainly what happened and to fully close and reopen the app. IMPROVED: The Discover health dot's amber label now shows when a listing last responded, instead of implying it was never checked. NEW: A Help topic, "If Something Goes Wrong," covers what to do if your data doesn't load. Thanks for playing — and keep the feedback coming!
