Hello Storage Hunters!

We’ve just released a new hotfix for Storage Hunter Simulator. Thank you for your continued support during Early Access.

Here's what's been improved in this update:

Bug Fixes

1. Fixed issues in Architect Mode, preventing loss of objects while relocating furniture.
   
2. Resolved a problem with Blind Auctions where objects were lost post-auction.
   
3. Improved Physics for small objects to prevent them from disappearing.
   
4. Fixed errors in VRAM calculation that could cause crashes or performance dips.
   

Performance Issues

1. Compiling shaders at game start. It should improve performance for those experiencing stuttering or slowdowns due to shader compilation. This feature also should help with preventing crashes
2. Added checks for the latest drivers to ensure optimal performance.
   

New Features

1. Added Radio functionality in the car for a more immersive driving experience.
   
2. Implemented Autosave when exiting the game to prevent progress loss.
   

We know performance has been an issue for some of you, especially on lower-end systems. We’re actively working on one more update to stabilize performance further and make the game fully playable on computers meeting the minimum requirements.

Thank you again for your trust and patience as we continue to improve Storage Hunter Simulator. If you encounter any issues or have feedback, don’t hesitate to reach out to us through the support channels listed in-game or on our community pages.

We couldn't do this without you!

Keep hunting, and see you at the auctions!

Hi, Storage Hunters!

We’ve got some exciting news for you—every 2-3 weeks, we’ll be rolling out FREE updates to the game - content packs with new items that you can find in the Storage Units.

We just wanted to take a moment to thank you for being such a big part of our journey! Your feedback and ideas never cease to amaze us, and we're truly grateful for the passion you bring to the game!

Based on your suggestions, we’re excited to launch our first community poll—and you can vote for your favorite feature HERE.

VOTE FOR FUTURE FEATURES

The features that you pick will be added as FREE updates, not as paid DLC.

Don’t worry if your pick doesn’t win! The poll is to help us prioritize what to develop first, but popular ideas that don’t make it this time around will still have a strong chance of making their way into the game later on.

These options aren’t everything we plan to add during Early Access, just what we’d like to ask you about right now.

Here are the options you'll find in the poll:

• Character Customization
  
• Decorate Your House's Front Yard
  
• Difficulty Levels
  
• Collectors – special NPCs on the map who collect specific items and, in return, give you rewards.
  

We’re super eager to see what excites you the most.

REMEMBER to cast your vote in the poll, as votes in the comment section won’t be counted, though we always love hearing your thoughts.

Besides that, we're continuously working on optimizations and bug fixes to ensure the best experience for you all

Cheers,
The Storage Hunter Team

Hello everyone,

We’re continuing to improve stability and performance in Storage Hunter Simulator and have another small hotfix going live today that addresses some bugs and performance issues!

IMPORTANT: If you have performance/crash problems we would really ask you to update your graphics drivers to start with. Our game needs the latest drivers. We have already helped dozens of support people this way.

Live Support: Currently, both from the game(button in the upper right corner) and at the link below, you can use Live Support chat if Discord is not most convenient for you. Please use this form of contact if performance problems arise.

Link to chat: https://chat.socialintents.com/c/shs-chat-support

The game currently runs smoothly even on weaker computers - so there may be problems on some configurations due to settings, drivers, or bugs we don't know yet - let us know, it's Early Access!

[h2]Fixes:[/h2]

• More Fixes to Tools Level System: Additional fixes to ensure the tools leveling system functions properly without glitches.
  
• Graphics Card Detection: Added automatic detection of the player’s GPU (AMD or NVIDIA) to set optimal settings. Frame Generation and Ray Tracing are now disabled by default, with further optimization of DLSS settings.
  
• 25,000$ House Warehouse Spawn Issue: Fixed items spawning on the roof, now correctly appearing inside the warehouse.
  
• Falling Boxes Issue: Resolved the issue of boxes dropping from the sky.
  
• Chest Item Blockage Fix: Fixed items getting stuck inside chests.
  
• Small Items Disappearance Fix: Addressed issues with small items disappearing unexpectedly.
  
• Start Trailer Sale Restored: Re-enabled the option to sell the starting trailer.
  
• Gameplay Change - Faster Repairs: Instant repairs now happen at the correct level based on the item's condition.
  

[h2]What’s next? [/h2]

• Architect Mode: A bug causing players to lose items placed via Architect mode is being worked on.
  
• Additional Bug Fixes: Smaller, non-game-breaking bugs reported on forums and Discord will also be addressed in future patches.
  

And we'll start doing playability tweaks and do a roadmap survey :)

These updates address some of the more frustrating bugs players encountered, like the spawning issues and disappearing items, making gameplay smoother. T

The ongoing effort to enhance system performance, especially with GPU detection, should also reduce hardware-related issues and provide a better experience for a broader range of players.
