Moonlight Peaks Patch 1.1.44: Stability & Save Fixes
Build 1.1.44 landed July 16, 2026 between the major 1.1.41 QoL wave and the 1.1.45 recovery pass — focused on corrupted saves, crop growth, and post-upgrade load failures.
Marvelous shipped patch 1.1.44 on July 16, 2026 as a stability bridge between the 1.1.41 QoL update and the larger 1.1.45 recovery pass. If your save stopped loading after a house upgrade or crops stalled on rainy nights, this build is the first official fix.
Official highlights (1.1.44)
- House upgrades — fixed saves that refused to load after expanding the farmhouse.
- Rainy nights — crops grow correctly when weather is wet instead of freezing overnight.
- Decorations — placed decor no longer eats inventory slots it should not occupy.
- Save corruption — reduced cases where force-quitting during an active save write damaged the file (see cloud save notes for remaining risk).
- Embroidery table — crafting station visibility fix for players who unlocked embroidery early via 1.1.41.
Where this sits in the patch timeline
Think of July 2026 PC patches as a ladder: 1.1.38 cleared launch freezes, 1.1.41 added House Storage and Quick Transfer, 1.1.44 stabilized saves and crops, and 1.1.45 fixed Recover the Moon plus farm-helper performance. Nintendo Switch / Switch 2 players typically see these stacked as 1.1.46.
Should you update?
Update on PC before any house expansion or long rainy stretch. If you still hit progression blockers after patching, read the known issues tracker and confirm you are on 1.1.45 or newer for quest recovery fixes.
