Hey everyone!
Update 1.1.1 is now live! This update brings Interest balancing, fresh Endless leaderboards, performance improvements, and fixes for saves, gear, UI, and achievements. Thank you for all your reports and feedback!
Balance & Endless Mode
- Interest is now capped at 200 pickles per completed wave in all modes to curb runaway income in longer runs. Interest percentage upgrades still apply.
- Endless now uses fresh leaderboards and personal bests for the updated economy, keeping new results separate from previous records.
- Improved Interest payout handling and ensured earned Bandit Interest is preserved when resuming a Story run.
- Fixed the pickle counter jumping backward during the Interest payout animation.
- Improved mouse-wheel scrolling in the Endless Top 100 leaderboard, reducing large jumps and overscrolling.
- Fixed Pickle Plants failing to return after Endless boss waves.
Performance
- Reduced periodic stutters when groups of enemies spawn by spreading their activation across multiple frames.
- Reduced enemy setup work between waves on the same map to improve spawning performance.
Save Reliability
- Missing or corrupted save files can now recover from a valid backup. Improved safeguards prevent damaged save data from replacing a good backup.
- Failed saves now remain queued for another attempt at the next safe save point.
Gear, Talents & UI
- Fixed gear sometimes being sold by a normal click after using the Steam overlay or switching windows. Mouse quick-sell now requires Shift + left-click, and keyboard/controller confirmation cannot trigger it.
- Controller quick-sell now targets the selected gear slot correctly, even when the mouse is hovering over another item.
- Attack Speed stats now refresh immediately after upgrades, and weapon cooldown displays correctly account for Attack Speed bonuses and rarity.
- Fixed Talent tiles shrinking when buying upgrades quickly. Purchased Talent stats now refresh immediately.
- Added a purchase sound when upgrading Talents in the lobby.
Achievements & Localization
- Clarified High Roller's requirements and progress display: spend 200 pickles on rerolls, then buy a Rare or better item during the same shop visit.
- Clarified Roadrunner's requirements and progress display: travel 500 units and roll 8 times without taking damage, all within one Story wave.
- Corrected Steam descriptions for Minimalist and Moonwalk to make their full-level requirements clearer.
- Added Polish names and descriptions for all active Steam achievements and updated the affected achievement descriptions across supported languages.
- Removed the obsolete Slippery Customer achievement from Steam.
Thank you for your continued support! Please keep sharing your bug reports and constructive feedback as we continue improving Pickle Pete.
