Rent Due 0.3.3 A fixes patch. Doorways, the ranch furniture, a crash on smaller graphics cards, and a calmer wrecking rate. Fixes · The game now runs on DirectX 11, which fixes a crash on lower-end and integrated cards. · Doorways stop catching you. The player is a touch narrower, so trailer and house doors no longer need a sprint to get through. The Bare Minimum front door, the one that snagge…
Rent Due 0.3.1 A quick hotfix for something the White Horse Ranch Update broke on launch night. · Fixed custom character bodies stretching across the map in the districts. A part of your outfit was getting pinned to a point far away the moment you left your bedroom. It stays on you now. Thanks to everyone who hit the bug button in the first ten minutes.
Rent Due 0.3.0. The White Horse Ranch Update Three big things in this one. A whole new map, a new way to move through the world, and the game in three new languages. White Horse Ranch, a whole new map A third neighborhood on the county map, out past Harrison. Nine retro ranch homes on big lots, from fixer-upper singles to two-storey estates behind their own fences. · Eight new listings, two of…
Bug Fixes · Fixed the crash on entering the office or a neighborhood, and the seconds long stutter that went with it. Both came from the game compiling shaders mid frame the first time it drew something new. Shaders now compile up front while you are in the menu, quietly finish in the background, and stay loaded. · Fixed a trash bag being able to spawn in a doorway and lock you in a room. · Fix…
Bug Fixes · The case file conversations have their voices back. Every line was recorded, but the game was asking for them by the wrong name, so the talks played silent. · You can knock on a tenant's door to question them now, even when you walked there yourself instead of pressing Question tenant on the computer. · Fixed inspection findings placed too high to photograph, like damage above a por…
Bug Fixes · Fixed the freeze every couple of minutes. It was the Discord Rich Presence check running when Discord was closed. It runs in the background now. · Fixed falling through the map after filing an inspection. · Fixed getting locked inside a tenant's home while collecting rent. · Fixed the Adjust Rent screen for tenants who pay every 2 or 3 days. Prices there now match what they actually…
Bug Fixes · Fixed inspections giving strikes way too often. Normal inspections were counting as strikes, so tenants hit eviction grounds after just three visits. Now only truly filthy homes get a strike. Existing saves are fixed automatically, extra strikes and wrong eviction grounds are removed. · Fixed getting stuck after filing an inspection. The walk out could put you in a locked room or dr…
Bug Fixes · Auction homes now show the furniture they came with. Winning a lot you had walked past earlier could leave it looking empty while the furnishing tablet said every set was owned. The furniture was always yours, it just refused to appear until a reload. · Furniture wrecked by a bad tenant or a disaster now disappears from the home right away, instead of standing there looking fine unt…
A small performance patch. · Fixed stuttering caused by too many shadow casting lights sharing one budget across the county. · The office no longer runs a hidden lighting recalculation that could stutter or even crash the game. · Crashes now report themselves on the next launch, and bug reports carry the details we need to fix what you found. All anonymous, usernames stripped, with an opt out i…
A follow up patch built almost entirely from your reports since the last update. Thank you for the fast reporting, nearly every line below came from one of you. BUG FIXES · Fixed the frozen employee card. Checking on a hired worker, at the office or out on the street, locked the mouse so you could not click out of it. The mouse behaves now. · Spotless inspections file properly. A home with noth…
A small bug fix patch, mostly from your reports. · Inspection mess no longer spawns in unreachable places. No more evidence under floors, inside counters, on roofs, behind fences, or outside the property. Spawn spots across the county were reviewed and cleaned up by hand. · If an inspection report files while you are still inside the house, the tenant now walks you out instead of the door locki…
Landlords, this is the biggest update Rent Due has ever gotten. Two whole systems land at once, the county gets involved, and the sun finally learns how to set. Here is the tour. HIRE A STAFF HireME is open on your laptop. Post a job, candidates ride the bus to your office, and you read their application across the desk and stamp it, the same way you screen a tenant. Three jobs. Rent collectors…
Rent Due v0.1.6 The day is yours now. This patch reworks how time flows based on your reports, adds a notification history so nothing gets missed, and fixes a long list of bugs you sent in. Time Rework · The clock only runs while you are actually in the world. Loading screens, the laptop, the travel map, doorstep conversations and popups no longer burn daylight. A loading screen used to eat 14…
Rent Due v0.1.5 A quick follow up to The County Update, focused on the bank and a handful of bugs you reported. Bank Rework · The bank now lends against your equity: what you own MINUS what you owe. Buying property with borrowed money no longer inflates your own credit line. · Rental income only counts toward your credit line once a tenant has actually paid you at least once, and the bank count…
Rent Due v0.1.4, The County Update This is the biggest update Rent Due has ever had. The world opens up, your tenants become real people with voices and opinions, and being a landlord finally means walking your own streets. The County Opens Up · A real travel map: head out any door, pick your stop, ride the bus. Press M anywhere in a neighborhood to pull it back up (rebindable in Settings). · T…
Quick fix round based on your reports. • If a call caught you while traveling, your cursor could get stuck and you couldn't hang up. Calls now work fully with the keyboard: Y or N to answer or decline, 1 to 3 for options, N or E to end the call. • Some older saves had a hidden level 0 and couldn't buy any property at all. Those saves fix themselves when you load them. • The office computer woul…
Two game modes New saves now ask how fast life should move before you start: · NORMAL is the classic pace. A full day runs close to four minutes, sleep skips up to 8 hours, and there is room to breathe between rent days. · FAST is for landlords who never sit still. Two minute days, 12 hour sleep skips, rent and tenant calls coming in thick and fast. The choice is per save, so you can keep a cal…
Less sleeping, more landlording We heard you loud and clear. The game asked you to sleep way too much, and that made it feel like a nap simulator instead of a landlord sim. This update reworks the core loop so the world moves while you do. The game loop · Days now pass in real time while you play. A full day takes about two minutes, so rent, tenant calls, and calendar events happen while you ar…
Today is the day. Rent Due is officially out in Early Access. To the seven thousand of you who wishlisted this game before it ever launched: thank you. A solo developer could not ask for a better welcome to town. This game got built in the open, one update at a time, and today you finally get the keys. WHAT YOU ARE WALKING INTO Rent Due is a first person landlord sim where nothing runs itself.…
Hey landlords, Rent Due is built by one person, and every patch so far has been shaped by players telling me what's broken, what's boring, and what would make the game better. That conversation deserves a proper home, so we now have an official Discord. What you'll find inside: Bug reports that actually get fixed. When you find something weird (a tenant in a wall, a cheque that won't cash), pos…
