House Flipper Remastered Collection Ā· published Ā· build 23643537
Our team isn't slowing down! Even though yesterday brought a massive wave of fixes, optimizations, and deep visual upgrades, we are already back today with another update. We are continuously tracking your feedback, watching your streams, and hunting down bugs around the clock. We might be a compact crew, but we are giving it our absolute all to ensure your flipping experience is as smooth and satisfying as possible. Today's hotfix focuses heavily on mechanical responsiveness, workflow speed, and crucial memory optimization.
We know that speed and precision are everything when youāre in the zone, redesigning a massive property. Thatās why we have completely overhauled the Duplicator Tool to make your workflow lightning-fast!
First, we stripped away unnecessary background animations, making item cloning incredibly snappy and responsive. No more awkward pauses - just pure, instantaneous duplication. Furthermore, duplicated items will now perfectly inherit the exact rotation of the original object, saving you from constant realignment.
But thatās not all! Weāve added a brand-new secondary mode to the Duplicator Tool. By simply aiming at an item and scrolling your mouse wheel, you can switch modes to instantly open that exact object directly inside your tablet's shop. If you run out of an item or need to look up its alternative variants, you are now just a scroll and a click away!
Below is the complete breakdown of the fixes, mechanical balances, and stability overhauls included in today's deployment:
Duplicator Speedup: Optimized duplication logic by removing redundant sell animations, resulting in highly responsive and instantaneous cloning.
Shop Integration: Added a secondary mode to the Duplicator tool (accessible via mouse scroll) allowing players to instantly open the targeted item's catalog page in the tablet shop.
Rotation Preservation: Duplicated items now spawn with the exact same rotation alignment as the original object.
Duplication Softlock Fix: Resolved an issue where holding down the Left Mouse Button immediately after duplicating caused a broken duplication loop that rendered the item non-interactable.
Variant Switcher Interaction: Fixed a bug where objects cloned via the Duplicator tool could not be picked up after using the Variant Switcher on them.
Pie Menu Safety Check: Disabled item pickup interactions while the Pie Menu is actively open to eliminate a major source of placement and UI glitches.
Shovel Conflict Resolution: Fixed a bug preventing players from using the Regular Shovel if they had equipped the Snow Shovel in a previous scene, and vice-versa.
Grappling Hook Recovery: Fixed an issue where putting away the Grappling Hook mid-pull broke the tool's mechanics until the game was completely reloaded.
Tool-Swap Refinement: Restructured the item-pickup safety lock so it now strictly applies when swapping between the Duplicator and an Empty Hand (and vice-versa), preventing unintended interaction freezes.
Universal Light Adjustments: Extended the ability to modify light beam intensity to items that do not feature material variations (such as specific halogen lamps, TV screens, etc.).
Smart UI Verification: The Light Source modification popup now actively verifies if a change to the lighting setup has been made before unlocking the confirmation button.
Halogen Mini Fix: Fixed targeted behavioral and rendering bugs tied specifically to the Halogen Mini lighting fixture.
Steam Workshop Protection: Temporarily blocked the Variant Selector tool from interacting with custom Steam Workshop items to prevent layout data corruption.
Z-Fighting Resolution: Fixed an issue on the Luxury Printing House Studio (For Sale) property where specific decals overlapped incorrectly, creating a flickering texture glitch.
Turtle Aquarium: Fixed a visual bug causing the Turtle Aquarium asset to randomly flicker white.
Holographic Trees: Applied an additional targeted stabilization fix to the rendering behavior of holographic tree variants.
Wallpaper Stacking Fix: Resolved a bug that permitted players to incorrectly place Zazos wallpaper directly on top of an identical, already existing wallpaper layout.
Major Memory Leak Cleanup: Implemented comprehensive memory optimizations within the Texture2dCacheSystem, SummaryCamera, CameraCapture, BeforeAfterSummaryView, and TextureData systems.
LOH Bypass: Re-engineered internal camera capturing and summary views to utilize NativeArray structures, safely bypassing the Large Object Heap (LOH) and eliminating large, unnecessary memory allocations.
Perk Graphics: Deployed an additional fix to resolve missing skill/perk graphics on the tablet layout for affected systems.
Backend Build Deployment: Optimized internal Steamworks account integration protocols to ensure quicker, smoother automated updates moving forward.
Progression & Balancing:
Fixed progression tracking for grass and gravel tasks.
Slightly reduced completion requirements for better game balance.
āGraphics & Rendering:
āFixed rendering issues with gravel edges.
Improved water visuals in the fountain.
āFixed a bug where surrounding objects would remain transparent after finishing an assembly task.
āArchitect Tool & Building:
Fixed an issue where roofs on the "Many Generations House" (and similar structures) blocked building with the Architect Tool.
āUI:
āFixed input/placement issues with the minimap and grass rolls.
