MMORPG Tycoon 2 · build 24772555 · published
Hi folks! This is a quick hotfix build with fixes for issues reported from the Volcanic Update two days ago.
We're still seeing some players report surprising performance issues while running the game at the same time as Discord. This doesn't affect *everyone*, but it seems to most commonly affect people with high-end computers. When issues happen, the reported behaviour is usually about the game running well for a few minutes, but then having the game FPS tank to around 10 or below for 10-20 seconds, and then going back to running well for a few minutes before tanking again in a loop.
If that cycle of occasional bad performance is happening to you, the advice which has worked for other players has been to go into the Discord settings interface: In the Activities section, in the Game Overlay part, you need to make sure that both the "Overlay" and "Legacy Overlay" settings are turned off. Then, in the Registered Games part, find MMORPG Tycoon 2 and make sure to cross out both the Eye and the Monitor icons. With those four settings ("Overlay" and "Legacy Overlay" *off*, and MMORPG Tycoon 2's eye and monitor icons disabled), performance has returned to normal for everyone we've spoken to!
We're still actively trying to contact folks at Discord to figure out exactly what's causing this trouble, but for right now this is the workaround that we're recommending to folks affected by the issue!
