On SteamNotes only · this build shipped before we watched the app

Today’s update focuses on reducing lag and improving the overall gameplay experience !

Changes :

  • The settings menu and its sub-menus are no longer preloaded; they now load when opened and unload once closed.

  • The R&D menu is no longer preloaded; it now loads when opened and unloads once closed.
    (Other menus are not affected, at least for now.)

  • The crafting info menu is now aligned to the right.

  • The Tab menu no longer has priority over active objectives, so it will now be the one that moves.

  • Locked banner buttons are no longer preloaded until the corresponding upgrade is unlocked.

Optimization :

  • The number of cameras has been reduced thanks to the merging of settings sub-menus.

Added :

  • It is now possible to press Escape to close the sub-menus in the settings menu.

Bug Fix :

  • Employees are now immediately removed from the Tab as soon as you click “Fire”, allowing you to recruit as quickly as you dismiss someone.

Most of you should see a noticeable FPS boost, especially on lower-end setups. You might experience minor micro-lags when loading menus, but high-end configurations shouldn’t notice any difference.
