All Quiet Roads v5.14 introduces a major overhaul to the inventory and item exchange systems, a brand-new control scheme for placing items, and a suite of under-the-hood stability improvements to ensure game saves are robust and reliable.
Click-to-Place Interaction: Draggable items no longer require holding and dragging from the inventory. Items can now be selected with a single click in the menu and placed onto the map with a second click, drastically improving precision and ease of use.
Fresh Inventory Iconography: The entire inventory system features newly designed, high-fidelity vector icons for instant readability.
Redesigned Item Exchange: The item exchange menu has received a complete visual overhaul, making conversions cleaner and easier to read at a glance.
Bulk Action Polish: Bulk erasure of roads and bulk tow truck deployments have been visually cleaned up and now integrate beautifully into the inventory panel.
Reward Presentation: The way rewards are presented to the player has been updated for better clarity and visual satisfaction.
Pattern Mode Exchange Controls: New [+] and [-] buttons have been added next to inventory items in Pattern mode, providing extra clarity when exchanging remaining turns for inventory.
Passive Inventory Demolition Migration: The traditional bulldozer tool has been replaced by a clean demolish icon situated alongside bridges and tunnels in the passive inventory. To demolish a neighborhood, simply pin its local panel and interact directly with its dedicated demolish button.
Save Robustness: Hardened the interaction between autosaves and exit-saves. The game now handles transient save snapshot failures smoothly, preventing the "jump back in time" issue when restarting or loading a save.
Error-Storm Mitigation: Reduced repeated save/exit exception loops that could previously crush the framerate during game transitions.
Menu Responsiveness: Resolved an issue where finishing a level and returning to the main menu would cause buttons to stop working. Transition stability across menu paths is now fully secured.
