Start with three checks
Confirm the game is updated, identify whether you are playing the full Steam release or prototype, and write down the exact prompt currently shown. These checks prevent an old workaround from creating a new problem.
Tutorial or next customer stuck
Build 403 requires ringing the bell for the next customer. Build 410 fixed a softlock caused by opening the sketchbook before the bell instruction. Follow the current prompt order after updating.
Cutting-room inventory behaves strangely
Build 410 stopped mouse-wheel input from rotating panels when the pointer is over the cutting-room inventory. If an old recording shows different behaviour, compare its date with the patch.
Lace requirement does not register
Build 403 fixed a lace-trim tagging issue. Update, confirm that the selected item is the intended type and then re-check the commission panel.
Shop or fabric table appears unavailable
The official notes do not assign one universal cause to every red or locked state. Close unrelated panels, follow the active tutorial step and verify customer progression before reporting a reproducible bug.
Reporting a useful problem
Include the build, platform, exact prompt, steps immediately before the problem and a screenshot. Avoid reporting prototype behaviour as a full-release defect.
