Patch Notes v0.144

We’ve been deep in the trenches fixing some of the more... creative ways you’ve been breaking the game. From gravity-defying pizzas to inter-dimensional item theft, here’s what’s changed:

New Features & Improvements

• Quick Delivery: Added a new Delivery Window for fast access to the courier.

• Movement Polish: Removed collisions from handheld items. You should no longer get stuck on the environment while carrying objects.

• Lobby Security: Strengthened lobby protection to prevent unauthorized players from joining your sessions.

Co-op & Networking

• The "Accidental Thief" Glitch: Fixed a major bug where pressing 'B' (Build Mode) as a host would "steal" whatever item your friend was currently holding, even if they were in a completely different room.

• Miner Duplication & Phantoms: Resolved a complex issue involving Bitcoin Miners on the roof where players could end up with "phantom" miners or duplicated items in their hotbar.

• Inventory Desync: Fixed instances where two players building/replacing items simultaneously would lock the non-host's inventory.

• Photo Mode Sync: Taking a photo as a client will no longer cause the host's screen to get stuck in photo mode.

• Achievements: Fixed a bug where non-host players weren't receiving the achievement for beating the game.

Gameplay & Physics

• Camera: Patched a glitch where spamming the camera allowed players to clip through walls, enter locked buildings, or climb out of the map. No more noclip photography!

• Photography: Fixed an issue where players could still enter "Photo Mode" and take pictures even after dropping their camera.

• Hitboxes: Adjusted the Enforcer NPC's hitboxes. They can no longer punch you from superhuman distances.

• Pizzas: Fixed several issues where pizzas and boxes would float into the air, lose gravity, or allow players to "double-sell" empty boxes.

• Mechanics: Updated the robbery logic; keeping the "Shady Window" open while you sleep can now trigger a robbery regardless of whether the front shop is open.

Performance & UI

• Optimization: Fixed significant FPS drops caused by high numbers of Pizza Racks. We’ve adjusted shadow rendering for pizza ingredients to keep your GPU from sweating.

• Input Lag: Addressed reports of input lag during low FPS situations, especially when moving the camera rapidly.

• Infinite Scrolling: Fixed a frustrating bug where menus would scroll infinitely (even with controllers unplugged).

• Debt UI Correction: Fixed the text in the Debt Collector menu. It will now correctly state "Final Installment" instead of "First Installment" when you are about to clear your debt.

• Debt Progression: Resolved a bug where players were getting stuck on the 6th installment with the 7th failing to trigger.

Miscellaneous

• Police Chase: Fixed an animation bug where the policewoman would stand still while her "running" animation played if you entered the pizzeria.

• Double Trouble: Fixed a rare bug where starting a new game could result in two "Source Machines" being spawned.

Peace,
