Update #12 - Patch 1.4.002 - Experimental DirectX 11 support

Hello, Renovators! 👷‍♂️👻


Today, we’re bringing you a long-awaited update, we've added experimental support for DX11! 🛠️
We know many of you have been waiting for this, and we're happy to finally let you test it out. However, please note that this is an experimental version of the game, launched separately from the Steam client. It will look different and may have issues not present in the DirectX 12 version of the game. That's why we are not changing our official system requirements listed on Steam – DirectX 12 is still required, as this is the DirectX version we can fully support.

Here's how it works:
When launching Haunted House Renovator, you'll now see two launch options:
  • The top option launches the game with DirectX 12: this is the recommended and supported version.
  • The bottom option runs the game with DirectX 11: this is the experimental version and may cause bugs or issues, especially visual ones.


Known issues in DirectX 11 mode include an invisible Brush when cleaning large stains or furniture that may appear dirty even after it's cleaned (newly-purchased furniture doesn't have this issue).

A few other small changes in today's patch:
  • Fixed an issue causing the music to stop on the new tutorial map.
  • Trash bags will no longer endlessly slide on the floor.
  • "Step away from the fusebox" and "Turn on the flashlight" tasks in the tutorial now properly detect the player's current state.
  • Lanternus Halloweenus will no longer destroy lights after being banished.
  • Added the exit button for the Shop (not available in the tutorial).
  • Disabled access to the Shop while the player is operating the fusebox to prevent issues.
  • Fixed an issue with missing translations for the 'Skip Tutorial" button.
  • Re-added Wraith-tracking UI icon that disappeared after possession.

And finally, just a quick heads-up: our team is taking a short summer break next week, so there will be a brief pause in patches. We’ll be back soon, ready to bring you more updates! ☀️

Thanks for playing and supporting us, you're the best! 👻💙
