Hey everybody, here's the newest patch for CSD! This one includes a new high rendering option that improves the quality of fonts and other graphical effects for high resolution monitors. While 1080p and above is recommended for this option, any display over 720p will see a difference when going fullscreen.You will need to select it in the Options menu (default is off).

Also included are brand new Steam Challenges! The participation bonuses are raised and you'll have a few weeks to get to the top of these boards, so good luck! Thanks once again to everyone for making the game such a big success!

2.22 HOTFIX

A small fix was issued for Hash Browns being ordered during Rush Hour, as well as not being able to upgrade Stacked Enchiladas to the maximum 3 stars. The following was also included/fixed for 2.21-


NEW FEATURES

• Added High Rendering in the Options menu. This will improve clarity of text and other graphical elements for resolutions at 1080p and above. You will need to restart the game once selected.
  
• Three new Steam Challenges are now available, with participation bonuses ranging from $300-500! Try the Drunken Potato, the Tour of Italy and the Tour of Asia!

BUG FIXES

• Removed developer hotkey to change Space/Enter mapping for cooking foods during a work day. This caused some users to have those keys flipped at different times of the day.
  
• Fixed some Leaderboard display errors and recording scores.
  
• Fixed a menu error when coming back from practicing a food when your Active Menu was set for a Steam Leaderboard Challenge.
  
• Adjusted mis-aligned picture in Snap/Thumbs Up minigame.
  
• Fixed a few minor display errors.

NOTE: KNOWN ISSUES- NEED FEEDBACK

There are a few users who have the following problems with the game:

• Some Mac users (MacBook Pro 2012?) unable to run the game at all.
  
• Some users experiencing progressive slowdown.

I need feedback so I can try and solve these problems, as they exist within the engine we're using and not the game, so I'll have to report it to the GM Studio people and see what can be done. Please post in this thread: http://steamcommunity.com/app/247020/discussions/0/648814843520704173/

Thanks again everyone!

The next big update for Cook, Serve, Delicious is now available as a beta! Steam Leaderboards have been built into the game- three leaderboards tracking daily stats, and three special challenges that will rotate with new ones in the coming weeks. The Steam Leaderboard Challenges will unlock once you receive the CookBet App (around the 11th day of gameplay).

This beta is for PC only but will also be available for Mac and Linux when it's officially released next week. This is a test just to make sure all the call backs and functions are working correctly once the leaderboards are populated a bit. Unless something completely malfunctions, the leaderboards will NOT be wiped once the update is officially out, so get a head start on rankings!

To access this beta, right click on Cook, Serve, Delicious! in your Library via Steam, and select Properties. Click the Betas tab and select from the drop down menu "steamleaderboards" to opt in. Your game save will carry over to this beta and will carry back into the normal release as well, so no need to worry about messed up saves/corrupt data, it's safe.

To access the Steam Leaderboard Challenges, click on the Steam button just below the CookBet App button in the mail/main menu screen.

Good luck and here's to the best chef on Steam!

Hey everybody, here's the latest patch for Cook, Serve, Delicious! that fixes some major issues with Mavericks OSX and a few smaller bugs:


NEW FEATURES

• (MAC) Mavericks OSX support added. (NOTE: if you are running an older OS such as Snow Leopard, you will need to either upgrade to Mavericks for free or access a new, separate build of CSD. You can read how to do that here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/247020/discussions/0/810938082171118397/ )
  
• Platinum Star restaurants will now have a permanent 40% buzz boost.
  
• You can no longer serve wine until the cork is popped open, preventing accidental bad orders. In addition the cork pop sound has been changed to greater signify that it's ready to serve.

BUG FIXES

• Fixed a glitch with the Hungry Fest not being checked as complete for Platinum Star restaurants.
  
• Pancakes can no longer be served as an empty plate.
  
• Crazy Dave would sometimes bug the CookBets option, displaying a message that foods were not correct in the Active Menu.
  
• 20k Achievement removed. Now the full set of achievements are actually achieveable!
  
• Fixed a few typos.

That takes care of the bug list, but I am looking into the possibility of a few new updates before the end of the year that ties into Steam Leaderboards. Nothing concrete right now, but I definitely am considering it!

Thanks everyone for the support and enjoy the game!

Hey folks! I've got another fresh hot patch ready to go today for Cook, Serve, Delicious! that adds some fan requests and fixes a variety of bugs. Here's what you'll find:


NEW FEATURES

• Control options added for cooking/serving. You can now bind Cook/Serve to either enter (default) or the space bar. You can find this option in the Key Binding menu.
  
• You can now view your achievement progress for Food Pins in the Checklist menu. (Click on the stars on the bottom left of the Management menu, then when you see the Checklist you can toggle the achivement progress on the top right.)
  
• You will now get more detailed info when hovering over food icons when Boosters/Detractors icon views are toggled.
  
• Dates will now wait three seconds longer to have their text answered before their patience expires. This should slightly help to get your restaurant in order before answering a text.

BUG FIXES

• (LINUX) Cloud saves and Achievements for Linux now function correctly. If your current save file is overwritten by a save in the cloud, use the Restore Saves option in the Save menu.
  
• Fixed a bug that would sometimes cause a fatal error when re-enabling music during the day through the pause menu.
  
• Fixed a problem that would sometimes cause accidental entries into Crazy Dave bets when accepting a CookBet, causing UI errors.
  
• Fixed a Pizza order that was a bit confusing as it referred to still-locked ingredients.
  
• Added a fix with the Hungry Festivities not completing correctly. If you have completed all the events but still have not progressed to the next star level, load up your game, go into the Hungry Fest main menu, then exit out to the main menu.
  
• Fixed a bug with Coffee pouring.
  
• A minor bug with the Three Star Foods achievement has been fixed.
  
• Minor typos addressed.

KNOWN ISSUES/REQUESTS

• (MAC OSX MAVERICKS) The game does not currently run on the private/developer build of Mac OS Mavericks. The people at GM Studio are aware of the problem and looking into fixing it, so I will definitely pass along info as soon as I get it.
  
• Keyboard support for menus. This is actually a ton of work to implement and will require major debugging, so as of right now I don't have it in the cards for the next update, but I'll put it on the wishlist.
  
  
  Thanks everyone and hope you're enjoying the game!
