Patch Notes v0.144

We’ve been deep in the trenches fixing some of the more... creative ways you’ve been breaking the game. From gravity-defying pizzas to inter-dimensional item theft, here’s what’s changed:

New Features & Improvements

  • Quick Delivery: Added a new Delivery Window for fast access to the courier.

  • Movement Polish: Removed collisions from handheld items. You should no longer get stuck on the environment while carrying objects.

  • Lobby Security: Strengthened lobby protection to prevent unauthorized players from joining your sessions.

Co-op & Networking

  • The "Accidental Thief" Glitch: Fixed a major bug where pressing 'B' (Build Mode) as a host would "steal" whatever item your friend was currently holding, even if they were in a completely different room.

  • Miner Duplication & Phantoms: Resolved a complex issue involving Bitcoin Miners on the roof where players could end up with "phantom" miners or duplicated items in their hotbar.

  • Inventory Desync: Fixed instances where two players building/replacing items simultaneously would lock the non-host's inventory.

  • Photo Mode Sync: Taking a photo as a client will no longer cause the host's screen to get stuck in photo mode.

  • Achievements: Fixed a bug where non-host players weren't receiving the achievement for beating the game.

Gameplay & Physics

  • Camera: Patched a glitch where spamming the camera allowed players to clip through walls, enter locked buildings, or climb out of the map. No more noclip photography!

  • Photography: Fixed an issue where players could still enter "Photo Mode" and take pictures even after dropping their camera.

  • Hitboxes: Adjusted the Enforcer NPC's hitboxes. They can no longer punch you from superhuman distances.

  • Pizzas: Fixed several issues where pizzas and boxes would float into the air, lose gravity, or allow players to "double-sell" empty boxes.

  • Mechanics: Updated the robbery logic; keeping the "Shady Window" open while you sleep can now trigger a robbery regardless of whether the front shop is open.

Performance & UI

  • Optimization: Fixed significant FPS drops caused by high numbers of Pizza Racks. We’ve adjusted shadow rendering for pizza ingredients to keep your GPU from sweating.

  • Input Lag: Addressed reports of input lag during low FPS situations, especially when moving the camera rapidly.

  • Infinite Scrolling: Fixed a frustrating bug where menus would scroll infinitely (even with controllers unplugged).

  • Debt UI Correction: Fixed the text in the Debt Collector menu. It will now correctly state "Final Installment" instead of "First Installment" when you are about to clear your debt.

  • Debt Progression: Resolved a bug where players were getting stuck on the 6th installment with the 7th failing to trigger.

Miscellaneous

  • Police Chase: Fixed an animation bug where the policewoman would stand still while her "running" animation played if you entered the pizzeria.

  • Double Trouble: Fixed a rare bug where starting a new game could result in two "Source Machines" being spawned.

Peace,
Bunch'o'Nerds Team
