Critter Cove News

Improvements to reduce hiccups, lag and stutters. Found a number of issues that were causing the CPU to block temporarily. You should now see a more consistent frame rate especially while moving around the world and lower cpu consumption. Steamdeck and lower end systems will notice the biggest change but improvements should be noticed on all systems. General improvement to frame rate as well.

Will continue to look for bottlenecks and improve them in future releases.

Fixed issue where if the player goes out of bounds or sometimes drowns the game would send them back to a point they had last surfaced but at the bottom of the ocean versus the top.

Player Unable to Install Control Panel on Boat Upgrade Station. Fixed issue where the player has a completed control panel ready to install on the boat upgrade station (and has the quest in there journal), but the boat upgrade station does not allow the install. If you have had this issue the control panel should now be unlocked and allow you to complete the quest.

Power Box on Air Refill. Fixed issue If Player ignores Anchor and goes straight to examining and fixing the air refill station using a power box from under Rigg’s Outpost, Player will not be able to clear the quest. If you have had this issue the quest should now be available to complete again by talking with Anchor. We also no longer let you interact with the air refill station before the quest is handed out.

Crash fixed while decorating your house and interacting with the default bed side table after picking up the candle on it. If you had issues with decoration in your house causing a crash this is the fix.

Fix issue with cooking UI and experiment where you could not drag and drop items into the experiment buckets.

Improved collision loading so you should not be able to run through walls etc when moving around the world quickly.

Fixes issues that sometimes prevent Pokee talk to quest. Related to opening scene not opening.

Fixes issues that sometimes caused the opening scene to not execute. Leaving the opening scene boat around. Recommend restarting your game if this scenario has happened.

Fixed issue where collision with rocks/walls et sometimes never finished loading and you could run through objects. Also improved the speed at which these colliders get loaded so should not be able to run though objects anymore. If this still happens after this update please post on discord or steam, thank you.
