Build 25317445

Hey everyone — this patch focuses on faster launches, playtime achievements, and party sync:

Faster startup: After a fresh install or update, the game no longer waits for the full resource unpack before showing up. Essential assets load first; the rest continues in the background. Everyday relaunches should feel snappier too.
Playtime achievements: Time-based achievements now follow Steam’s official playtime. If your hours on the Steam page already meet the requirement, those achievements should unlock correctly (including ones that failed before).
Party sync: In multiplayer, plant and fish-basket skins now sync to teammates the same way cats and backgrounds do.
Please relaunch the game after updating. If startup still feels slow, or a playtime achievement doesn’t unlock, tell us your PC setup and Steam playtime. Thanks for your support!
