A quick Hotfix here to get on top of the most common issues we've seen after the release of Update 1.2. We know we have a great game concept here and, with your help, we can make as smooth and enjoyable experince as possible. Today we've fixed:
Saved Game
- >
- Fixed some instances whereby save game files wouldn't load. Next week we will have an update that fixes the remaining cases of this issue.
Fixed issues
- Optimization of refreshing resources UI which improves the game performance
- Partially fixed instances whereby auto-collecting and visualization of leftover heaps after deconstruction resulted in empty spaces with missing key information. The remaining instance of this will be fixed next week.
- Fix of a few elements located on the Airport Island, allowing to build on them and collect the resources.
- Fixed problem with crashes experienced during pathfinder camp relocation
This relates to build number: 1.2.22346
Remember we also have a "low performance/stability guide" for you:
- We'll be constantly optimizing the game in the following updates of which this is the 2nd.
- The risk of corrupted saves should be far lower now. Plus autosaves were too frequent in earlier builds. We suggest saving frequently and make backups of the saves from time to time
- In fairness, please don't expect miracles - if you have a low-end machine, play at lower resolution and reduce visual effects. Please check the suggested specs below.
- Our "Painterly" art style doesn't automatically mean it's "cheaper" performance-wise. There's plenty of detail, lighting and effects that will keep the GPU busy.
- The game's complexity also naturally means that the more buildings/people you have, the more power it demands, which is especially visible on fast forward (more calculations in a time frame).
