🚀 Major Update – Optimization, Network Improvements & More

I Know a Guy: Shady Life Simulator · published 6 months ago

All eventsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

We’ve just released a new update.

🌐 Network System Reworked

The network system has been renewed.

If you encounter issues like getting stuck on a black screen, the game will now provide you with a problem code. This means:

  • You’ll be able to understand what went wrong

  • Or share the exact error code with us on Discord

No more guessing. We’ll have something concrete to work with.

⚙️ Deep Optimization Pass

The game went through a serious optimization sweep across all systems.

You should see performance improvements up to 100 FPS depending on your setup.

If things used to struggle, this update should feel noticeably smoother.

🎛️ New Visual Settings Added

We’ve expanded the graphics options so you can better tune performance:

  • Shadow Quality

  • Anti-Aliasing

  • FPS Cap

  • V-Sync

You can now adjust these settings to better support lower-end systems or push higher stability on your machine.

🛠️ Bug Fixes

Several visual and movement-related bugs have been fixed.

🖥️ Dark Web Computer…

As a thank you for your support, we’ve added some hidden new features to the Dark Web computer.

Good luck finding them.
