The server migration addresses the core overload problem that has been degrading the game experience, but the indefinite delay on the Steam Market reopening signals that stability is still a work in progress.
Reporting from 1 sources: Game Spark.
Nugem Studio and Tesseract Studio released version 1.00.12 for 'Taskbar Hero' on June 16, implementing a server migration update as a first step to resolve overload issues. The update reduces the minimum time to obtain treasure chests and adds anti-cheat measures. Peak concurrent players exceeded 520,000 on SteamDB. The Steam Market reopening date remains undecided pending server stability.
Nugem Studio and Tesseract Studio rolled out version 1.00.12 of 'Taskbar Hero' on June 16, a day later than planned, after problems on June 15 delayed the deployment. The update shifts part of the game's data processing to the developer's own servers, reducing the minimum time required to obtain normal treasure chests and stage boss chests. The change is meant to restore the chest acquisition rate that had been affected by cheaters. The developers also added data collection to help identify users running cheat programs.
According to SteamDB, the idle RPG's peak concurrent player count has surpassed 520,000. The Steam Market, which was disabled due to the overload, will reopen only after server stability is confirmed. The developers said they will announce a schedule once preparations are complete. The update also includes bug fixes, UI changes, and a one-hour access restriction after account resets.
