The word puzzle in Chapter 4 of The Plucky Squire also received an update that fixed words getting stuck behind a frog, alongside issues with the bridge scaling up and some text being unreadable. Chapter 7 also got a few adjustments added that fixed some NPC behavior and an unintended puzzle solution.
Chapter 6 of The Plucky Squire received the biggest update out of all the chapters. Fixes were made that prevent the game from potentially crashing during a mini-game. Alongside this, several objects such as crates and words received updates to prevent them from reaching inaccessible locations. Finally, issues such as Zip not following Jot properly, players getting stuck in certain areas, and mini-game objectives not being shown have also been fixed.
These updates are currently live on the Nintendo Switch version of The Plucky Squire. While future patches and updates to the game on other platforms are not live yet, the developers stated that those changes are currently in the works.
