[h3]Dear Flippers, the work goes on![/h3]
[hr][/hr]
Not every hero wears a cape, but to us, you’re one of them! Thanks to your feedback and opinions, we managed to launch another hotfix.

We’ve heard voices saying that roof placement can cause issues, that you have some problems with the grappling hook, with disappearing houses, and similar-looking piggies. Now you can try our improvements coming with this patch.

Make sure that your game is properly updated!
The version that you should see in the main menu is 1.23129 (6ee7b)

If you cannot see any updates in your library, the version is different from the one mentioned, or you're still facing issues after today's update, try to verify the integrity of game files:
Go to Steam Library > right-click on House Flipper > Properties > Local Files Tab > Verify integrity of game files.

We have found that some (corrupted or missing) files cannot be fixed just by verifying integrity of game files through Steam. In some rare cases, especially when you cannot open the game at all, a reinstallation will be needed!
Go to Steam Library > right-click on House Flipper > Manage > Uninstall. Then install the game normally through Steam Library again.



[h3]Here's the list of changes![/h3]
[hr][/hr]


Improvements and additions:

• Revamped roof placement on House Builder structures. Give it a try!
  
• Added more pig variations to Happy Farm.
  
• Crop collection popups now appear and disappear much faster
  

General fixes:

• Fixed an issue that caused “The Cabin in the Woods” house to disappear from the buy menu if it was unlocked before the previous update.
  
• Fixed the highlight outlines not appearing on some PCs.
  
• Fixed issues with some items not setting correct room types.
  
• Resolved a crash that occurred when using fences before menu navigation.
  
• Fixed an issue preventing usage of Grappling Hook in the “In Deep Water” quest, “The hall of the mountain king” house, “Paradigm Shift” quest and “Industrial getaway” house.
  
• “Good Ole Wedding Barn” house’s porch edges will no longer block house building.
  
• The invisible borders of “Saturday's Hay Fever” house and “Good Ole Wedding Barn” order are no longer hookable.
  
• Corrected the placement of ceilings in “A Little Brick House” level.
  
• Fixed an issue with Froly Attic Stairs causing crashes.
  
• Fixed an issue with wrongly assigned textures leading to crashes or pink surface.
  

House Builder Tool fixes:

• Fixed an issue with certain floors on “Don't Spare The Horses” quest, “Sparrow's nest” house, “Paradigm Shift” quest, “Industrial getaway” house and “Poppy House”, which caused performance drops and other major glitches.
  
• Fixed issues preventing the placement of fences on the first floor and on the edges of roofs, as well as the filling out of fence placement inside structures.
  
• Resolved an issue related to editing a building that has stairs, which caused ceilings to be cut out and sometimes closed in the wrong places.
  
• Prevented the player from standing inside inner walls during building construction animation.
  
• Fixed a problem with a broken popup that prevented the House Builder tool from being unlocked.
  
• Fixed highlight outlines that didn't disappear after hiding House Builder on unsuccessful deletion.
  
• Added a separate progression bar when deleting buildings, which no longer freezes and is shown when deleting via shrinking foundations.
  
• Fixed an issue preventing inner swimming pools from being placed inside House Builder structures on some maps.
  
• Blocked building actions during tool switch animation.
  
• Improved foundation shrinking so that it is no longer stopped on each step if foundations are connected to a House Builder structure.
  
• Fixed a corner case leading to disappearing walls.
  

If you have any questions about this patch, or you'd like to report new bugs, you can contact us at: [email protected] with a brief description of the issue. We will try to help you asap.

Due to testing delays, the hotfix for MAC players will be released tomorrow. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
