More updates are on the way — enjoy the new patch!

Hello everyone! You might have noticed that we initially released this patch last week. One of the fixes was to address the low FPS issues people were having, but that fix caused some secondary issues! We rolled that fix back for now, but wanted to get the rest of the improvements out to you!

Many of you have been enjoying the new 0.9 progression challenges, but many of you also requested that some of the new features be customizable!

In custom games, you can now:

• Disable import limits

• Allow all items to be imported

  • Expensive Clothing, Expensive Jewelry, Smartphones and Smartwatches can be imported from the import docks

• Urgent Order Fees can be customized

  • Both Wholesaler and Importer Urgent Order fees can be customized.

Additionally, the Urgent Order fees are now based on game difficulty, making the Import penalty much less painful in easy and normal game modes! You should see this change reflected in your current story-mode games!

Here are a few fixes for when you don't exactly follow Uncle Fred's guidance, so the game doesn't get stuck!

• If you buy out a store and then change the type of store, it will progress through the quest after you set up inventory deliveries

  • If you previously had this issue, you will have to buy a new business, but it will now allow you to buy a cheap business and change it!

• Assign Purchasing Agent task now works, even if you have multiple headquarters

• The quest to inspect inventory in your warehouse now works even with multiple warehouses

• "Train Employee to 50%" was specifically looking for a customer service employee in your first business. It's now more flexible and should count any employee type and should work even if you've made more than one store!

• The Scorpio Gaming System now satisfies the "Play Video Games" quest

• Fixed some cases where the rival side quest wouldn't update properly

• Fixed issue causing blueprints to load/save forever in some cases

• Fixed issue causing blueprints to not load if you unsubscribed to the blueprint on the workshop while it was in your library

• Resolved issues with rival businesses shutting down strangely

  • Rivals were shutting down too many businesses without opening new stores

  • The shutdowns were all happening in a few concentrated areas

  • No business was shutting down prior to 40 days into the game.

• Fixed Hairdresser income wasn't being counted if you are in the business or fast-forwarding while working.

• Fixed a few spots in Industry City that were marked as illegal

• Fixed can't drive into warehouses due to boxes

  • 6 22nd St

  • 5 25th St

• Fixed getting locked in placement mode if you grabbed a paper bag from a table/fridge with a hand truck and then tried to grab the table/fridge to move it

• Fixed Purchasing Agent limits being exceeded in specific situations

• Removed the "phantom" rival buildings such as 153 7th Ave

  • If you had bought this from a rival, you should be refunded for the equipment inside

• Water Fountain now also satisfies the Water Cooler employee demand

• Fixed random floating flag around the park area

• Fixed trampoline animation

• Fixed some issues with Christmas decorations in the blueprint creator

• Fixed issue with players getting stuck on the security panels near doors

• Fixed a couple issues that caused customers and employees to get stuck

• Fixed issue with scooters getting stuck on the front of their mount after renting them

• Fixed issue with hairdresser shelves after purchasing

• Fixed Mr. Scott's Office Supply register queue going the wrong direction

• Fixed can't work out in gym with headgear on

• Fixed some issues at Ika

• Fixed Mersaidi Dash turn signal was bleeding over to the other side

BONK THE BOYKISSER is a first-person survivors-like game where you’ll have to fend off endless waves of Boykissers armed with a baseball bat.

The game will be released in Early Access soon, and I encourage you to add BONK THE BOYKISSER to your wishlist - it's the best way to support me!

Thanks, see you!

• A New Tier 2 Celetial Wrath Weapon.

• The Tier 1 Celetial Wrath Weapons have been comprehensively strengthened, with their power level adjusted to match the Tier 2. As a result, the only differences between Tier 1 and Tier 2 Celetial Wrath Equipment are their positioning and rarity.

• The issue where pressing the spacebar would not reset the game speed.

• The problem of weapon locking acceleration when holding down the lock button.

Changes:
- Fixed incorrect behavior of the flag mechanics.
- Fixed a number of mistakes in the Russian localization.

Уважаемые игроки!

К сожалению, на нашем запуске не обошлось без серьезных технических проблем. Самые частые из них - зависание игры без возможности двигаться и завершить ход, вылет при загрузке миссии или при выгрузке с нее, черный экран на некоторых катсценах, а также невозможность запустить игру для тех игроков, у кого на компьютере сохранились настройки со старых версий игры (демо и раннего доступа).

Благодаря вам и вашему активному обращению в саппорт, своевременному предоставлению логов и сохранений, нам удалось обнаружить причины этих проблем. В настоящее время команда разработки готовит сразу несколько патчей, чтобы полностью устранить критические проблемы, мешающие нормальной игре.

Мы также слышим ваш критику по определенным аспектам игрового баланса.

В ближайших обновлениях в игре будут поправлены некоторые негативные моменты:

• Появится возможность отключить таймеры в настройках сложности игры. Игроки смогут сами решить, оставить или убрать таймеры на миссиях "Зачистка" и "Сопровождение".

• Будет проведена ребалансировка - количество врагов на миссиях, особенно в первые месяцы игры, будет сокращено, и общий уровень сложности на старте игры понизится. Для тех же игроков, кто успешно справляется с текущей сложностью и категорически против ее снижения (мы вас тоже слышим и любим!) можно будет увеличить количество врагов, включив соответствующую настройку сложности.

• Миссии против других фракций (Фронт, Цай Шень, Щит) на начальном этапе игры будут значительно облегчены по количеству врагов в отрядах.

• Будет проведена ребалансировка экономики в сторону повышения доходности миссий, а также увеличится стартовая сумма на счету.

О выходе патчей будет объявлено в новостях на странице игры - следите за обновлениями.
