MarginCall Updates Hub
What changed around the 19 August 2026 Steam launch.
Functionally Human shipped MarginCall on Steam on 19 August 2026 and immediately kept patching. This hub points at two pages on purpose. Patch notes summarise official Steam News: the launch hotfix, Digital Frontier, Sound Money, and the charting / global-markets rebuild. Known issues records player-facing friction from discussions without pretending we are the developer support desk.
If you are returning after a week away, read patch notes first. Leverage behaviour, nested subsidiaries, era-accurate crypto, and statement maths all moved. Guides on this wiki assume those patches. If a store mirror still says 5x leverage, ignore it; Sound Money describes 20x working as intended.
If you are stuck on a UI ghost (missing holding, sliding pins, mystery P/L), jump to known issues, then back to Controls or How to Trade. Do not add risk until you can see the position.
Official text always lives on Steam News for app 4961460. We abridge. We do not replace. When a note says existing saves are compatible, believe it until your save says otherwise, and keep a backup anyway.
For a first-time player, this hub is optional. Getting Started matters more. For anyone comparing versions or wondering why mining feels like a building now, start here, then return to the Guides Hub.
How we treat dates
Steam News is the clock. This hub does not invent patch IDs. If a third-party site still describes 5x leverage or empty data centers, it is stale. If a discussion describes a missing holding, it might be a bug or a misunderstood product type; we park that on known issues rather than rewriting the trading guide around a ghost. When you finish a note, follow the deep link into a guide so the change becomes a habit, not trivia. The Tools Hub is the other follow-up: 20x existing is a calculator problem, not a victory lap. Read patch notes after every Steam update before you raise size. A save-compatible flag is not a playstyle-compatible flag. Treat each note as a reason to reopen one guide, not as trivia to skim and forget on the next 20x ticket.
