Small Patch: Search Improvements & Quick Fix for Crashes

Dear players,

This is a small patch focused on polishing several recently added features.

Following the release of Thorough Scavenging, we've continued refining its controls and interaction feedback based on actual gameplay experience.

At the same time, a small number of players have reported severe stuttering, high performance usage, or even crashes. We have investigated these reports and identified a quick solution that can significantly improve the situation on affected PCs.

Search & Interaction Improvements

• Further improved the controls and overall feel of Thorough Scavenging, making the slot-machine sequence smoother and more responsive.

• Fixed an issue where repeatedly pressing Space while lacking enough Mentality could cause the Thorough Search button to become progressively smaller.

• Improved the notification shown when the player's position marker on the map is disabled.

• Improved the timing of certain control prompts to reduce unnecessary UI clutter.

• Improved the behavior of several NPCs to make their daily activities feel more natural.

Quick Fix for Stuttering, High CPU Usage & Crashes

Recently, a small number of players have reported severe stuttering, high CPU usage, or crashes during gameplay.

After investigation, we found that hardware configurations and runtime environments can vary significantly between players. Enabling Dynamic Cloth can place additional real-time processing load on the CPU, which may cause performance issues on some low- and mid-range systems.

If you are experiencing stuttering, unusually high performance usage, or crashes, please open the game settings and disable:

• Character Dynamic Cloth

• Environment Dynamic Cloth

Disabling these two options can significantly reduce the related CPU workload and may greatly improve stuttering and crash issues on affected systems.

These settings only affect the dynamic cloth simulation on character clothing and certain environmental objects. Disabling them will not affect gameplay, story progression, or game content.

If the game is already running smoothly on your PC, there is no need to disable them.

We will continue monitoring performance across different hardware configurations and further improving optimization and compatibility.

English Localization Is Underway

For our English-speaking players: English localization for the Enhanced Edition is currently in development.

We are working on the translation, proofreading, and in-game implementation of the new and rewritten story, system, and UI text introduced with the Enhanced Edition.

The English version will be released as a free update once it is ready.

Thank you for your continued support and feedback!
