Hi everyone,
we've just released another hotfix addressing several key issues, especially performance problems with intense projectile builds.
Performance Improvements
Intense Projectile Builds: Late-game builds with many projectiles were causing significant lag. The game should now run much smoother with these types of builds.
VFX/Audio Culling: We've optimized performance by preventing certain visual effects (VFX) and audio cues from triggering when they are out of sight.
Bug Fixes
Mega-Freeze Fix: Corrected a bug that caused a severe freeze when shooting many projectiles per frame while enemies were nearly stacked on the player.
Armor Value Persistence:Unequipping armor items no longer leaves your armor amount intact. The displayed armor is now correctly capped to your actual maximum armor value.Copyshop Scrap Deduction: Fixed an issue where the Copyshop was not correctly deducting the shown price from your scrap resources.
New Apple Press Save: The new apple press will now save properly under all circumstances.
Blob Boss Sub-Diversions: Resolved a bug where the Blob Boss sub-diversions sometimes flung out of the map boundaries.
Multi-Phase Boss Kill: Fixed an issue where bosses with multiple phases could sometimes become unkillable.
Addendum: 0.15.3
We reverted the fix for the persistence of armour values. This caused other issues, so we will need to completely refactor it in a future update.
