Drug Dealer Simulator 2 News

Hey folks, the time is now! Thanks for your patience, we’re thrilled to share with you the new update. It’s big and significant - as its name suggests. Many of the issues we dealt with were crucial in the context of the entire game and took us a considerable amount of time.

Additionally, we’ve added new content, including language versions and a whole new island with a purchasable mansion!

We hope that your experience will be better and more satisfying. As always, share your feedback!

[h2]Patch Notes[/h2]

Bugfixes:

• Fixed a crash related to the audio cache system that occurred while traveling the map, especially long distances on boats. Optimized and improved environment audio systems for fewer issues, improved RAM usage and CPU performance
  
• Fixed a crash (fatal error) that could sometimes occur during crafting, especially after updates and/or installing mods
  
• Fixed issues related to Luca and coke lab quest, fixed issue with blocked lab finding task. The fix is retroactive

• Added a temporary fix for the interaction with the priest where he could be locked in some circumstances

New content:

• New purchasable private island with a villa on it as luxurious content
  
• Many new furniture items and decorations available in furniture shops
  
• New language versions (Czech, Slovak, Romanian, Hungarian)

Note: While troubleshooting crashes, we noticed that crashes for people with 13th and 14th gen Intel may be caused by a factory problem with these processors (read more here). This problem can be solved with a BIOS update. Still, we keep investigating any problems you report. If you are reporting a crash, remember to add information about your PC specs, the circumstances when the crash occurred, and the place in the game where it happened.

Also, despite the scope of improvements, you can consider this BigA$$ Update, part 1!

A word from Rafal:
“A lot more content and improvements are in the works, but did not make it into this update, as we wanted these improvements to land faster so you don't have to wait. The next update will feature many additional QoL improvements, fixes and new features and content that is currently still worked on. Have fun and stay tuned!”



Thanks for your patience, Dealers! Have fun playing!

Hello everyone,

Due to the importance of this update, we decided to allow for more testing time to make sure all the implemented fixes and new features are working as intended. We want to release the best possible product and not sacrifice the quality of the patch you are all waiting for. Join us on Friday to play the improved game!

The update will address crashes, save file backup and quest issues, include optimization-related changes, improve parkour, add new language versions (Czech, Slovak, Romanian, Hungarian, Korean) as well as add more improvements and fixes and new content.

Below you can see the preview of the improved parkour animation, which you will see in the update.



We assure you that the Byterunners Team are 100% focused on working on the new update and when this one is released, more updates will follow.

All the best,
Movie Games Team

Hi all!

For today, we planned to show you the replies to the questions you asked for the new Q&A session. However, seeing your reactions and suggestions, we decided to not bother Rafal and the team with Q&A before the new update. They will remain 100% focused on improving the DDS2 experience, and only after the update launches, we’ll ask for a couple of hours of their time to answer your questions. We think this approach is better for the game - so ultimately it's better for every player.

However! This means that you still have time to ask new questions. Publish them in the comments to this Steam post, and we’ll relay them to Rafal when the time is right.

See you on Isla Sombra! Just to remind you, the update is coming on September 4th.

It’s Sunday, so while you’re chilling, why not watch our new stream with Rafal? The DDS Big Boss will tell you what the team’s been doing since the release, what are their plans for the future, and what’s especially valuable in your feedback - among other things.

So head to our Steam page, sit back and relax with fresh news straight from Isla Sombra.
