Here's what we've got for the 1.04 update:
I added an option that will appear when you launch the game on windows . It will allow you to use OpenGL instead of vulcan and your rendering driver. If you've been experiencing those weird missing background arts, try the OpenGL option. Otherwise, proceed with the default.
The OpenGL mode messed up one of the shaders in the game, but I added a thing that should disable that shader if you're using OpenGL. If anyone sees anything they suspect is a visual glitches on OpenGL mode, lemme know.

We also have some other simpler changes:

• Slight update to the background art in the hover cafe.
• Drink-making guide added the the hover cafe, appears After cafe tutorial is completed.
• Fixed invisible back button in Sal's room.
• Heather 13 is no longer flagged as explicit.
• Heather 6 no longer displays incorrect background at the end of the scene.
• and finally:
• I think I may have improved load times when entering Skipnoise Ave, but I'm not completely sure.
