Patch Notes 2024-07-01 (U0.2.3)


We’ve just published a new update containing various performance improvements and balancing changes.


Performance

The performance within Cameras in the Nightclub should be a lot better now. From our testing on a Steam Deck the average FPS went up from ~34FPS to 60FPS+ on Medium Settings. The Security Office Cameras didn’t seem to be affected by this issue.

We’ve also adjusted some things regarding what is being rendered and when it is being rendered which should slightly bring down the GPU Usage across the entire game.

We’ll keep looking into performance issues in the future!

Was able to get through all the content fine without these changes, but the turn speed increase is very much welcomed. Alternatively, if you used actual tank controls (treads and camera move independent) it would also make it easier, but most people would probably have trouble with that... (I play a lot of a simulator game that uses tank controls...)

I get stuck in a loop on the final night of the Nightclub Mode on the Steam version. The new update made the whole mode actually playable for me since it eliminated most of the lag, but once I lose after Poppy detonates the bomb and try to do anything else, I get stuck on a black screen with music playing and nothing else happening, forcing me to use Task Manager to close the game. Any idea what's causing this?

We’re aware of blackscreens happening if you win a Night and then have to reload the subsequent Night.

This should be fixed with the next update :)
