Patch 1.0.4.11 - Hotfix on way



Hey dealers,

We’ve received reports from you about the problems with performance, lags, and other issues that appeared after patch 1.0.4.11.

Thanks to your feedback and provided save files, we’ve managed to locate a memory leak in one of the classes. We’ve already fixed the issue and preparing a hotfix that will remove it as well, as all the duplicated classes and loops after loading the save files.

We’ll launch the fix as fast as we finish the last tests. The issue does not affect the save files, so they won't be lost. Thank you for your patience, and keep your eye on the upcoming fix.

PATCH 1.0.4.11 - FULL LIST OF FIXES AND IMPROVEMENTS



Hi dealers,

As we promised in the last week, a new patch is up now! Except the fixes and improvements we’ve mentioned in the last announcement, we've also managed a few additional ones ;)

Here's a new, updated list of fixes and improvements:

Bug fixes:

- Fixed a bug where the laBallena gang reputation raise was glitched and prevented from progressing
- Fixed a bug where Gustavo could rarely disappear making the player unable to check out the money retrieval task. Pending tasks in the cases of no Gustavo on the map should now automatically get checked at load
- Fixed a bug where in some circumstances backpack content could disappear when put into a container
- Added a respawn script for all furniture types at load. This is a potential fix for the issue where some players experience disappearing furniture. We were unable to recreate this issue on our side to 100% test this fix out.
- Added a fixing script for door glitched in the middle of the map in the street with a gang delivery marker set on them. The script should remove the door and reconstruct a new drop destination after load. We were unable to recreate this bug on our side so far to test this solution out 100%.
- Fixed a bug where the small electric mixer had different capacity than stated in the shop
- Fixed a glitch where the coffee grinder had it’s contents glitching outside the model
- Fixed a bug where the police voice and some other environment sounds where muffled
- Fixed a bug where you were able to throw your backpack after being tased by the police
- Fixed a bug and potential exploit where the shop cancel and clear not always worked leaving some items in the inventory
- Fixed a bug where some of the graphics settings were reset after restarting the game
- Fixed a bug where the POLICE SEARCH sign could re-appear after being stopped or loading a game during a search
- Fixed A.I. navigation issues on the map, including the police checkpoints
- Fixed a problem with money laundering quantity input widget
- Fixed collision for the desks and tables where accidentally dropping an item under them made it impossible to pick up
- Minor UI, inventory, police A.I. tweaks and changes

New features and changes:

- Added gang leveling. From now on, you can go further with the gang reputation and grow their orders even bigger. We are planning on adding additional features for gang levels
- Added a averaging algorithm for the clients. From now on you can sell multiple batches at once to one client. The client will buy a batch mix if the items are not too radically different (eg. 1g cocaine, and 4x1g packs of pure baking soda) and the clients later satisfaction from the product will be calculated out of the delivered products property averages. OD chance id dictated by the most toxic batch in the package.
- Improved police difficulty and perception at night for both normal and hard modes

Optimisation:
- Greatly increased lighting performance reducing GPU usage and possibly reducing computer overheat. Especially for nighttime
- Added tweaks and changes for NPC animation scripts that may reduce high CPU usage for some of the players


Also, we’ve just started working on the next patch that will be available very soon. Thank you for your support and all your reports. If you notice any issue that you think we don’t know about - you can let us know on Steam Discussion page in a proper tab or on our Official Discord Server: https://discord.gg/yW6mSad

Patch 1.0.4.11 Coming Soon! List of the Upcoming Fixes and Improvements



Hi Dealers!

We won’t interrupt your “business activities” ;) We want to let inform you about the current status of our work on the next fixes.

Patch 1.0.4.11 is on its way. Right now, we’re analyzing and working on reported issues. Those work wouldn’t get as fast as now without your help, and we want to thank you for that!

Patch will launch at the beginning of the next week as soon as we finish the last tests of the implemented changes. After that, we’ll start preparing the the next patch, which will be available soon after.

Here's a list of fixes and changes coming with Patch 1.0.4.11:

Bugs already fixed:
- Fixed a bug, where raising Ballena’s gang reputation was blocked and the player could not reach the 500 respect task
- Applied a furniture and workstation respawner, that resets all the furniture model states after loading or starting a new game. This should fix the issue where some players experienced furniture disappearing from their saved games
- Fixed a bug where you could potentially meet with gang money delivery men multiple times asking for money
- Fixed a bug where in some rare cases Gustavo would disappear from the map, making it impossible to check out the cash delivery task. The fix is retroactive and should work in most cases
- Fixed a bug where there were input problems with the cash launder widget
- Fixed a bug, where The small electric mixer had different capacity than stated in the store
- Fixed a bug where the police voices and some other sound FX were muffled (had a low-pass filter applied, even if not behind an obstacle)
- Fixed a bug, where you could throw away a backpack after you’ve been tased by the police
- Fixed a bug and potential exploit where clearing/canceling shop sale was not working properly
- Fixed colliders for the desks and workstation table, where you could not pick up items dropped on the floor below them
- Fixed multiple minor and major issues concerning the inventory, backpacks and containers

New features/improvements:
- Added markers for the rented hideouts appearing on the map
- Corrected quick hint screen position so it does not cover essential information on the screen
- Added an average algorithm to the sales, allowing for selling a combination of different drug mixes and drug batches to clients

Optimization:
- Fixed an issue where some of the graphics settings were reset after starting up the game
- Added improvements to the CPU and GPU usage as well as some lighting optimization for better performance.

We are currently working on:
- Fixing major and minor issues with the police considering improving police behavior, chase and control bugs etc.
- Fixing issues regarding DEA raids
- Fixing issues regarding dead drops and dead drop markers
- Fixing issues regarding checking out some tasks in the game
- Minor gang cooperation improvements

We are also gathering some more feedback from the community and will try to put as many fixes and improvements in Patch as we can before its release.

We’ll announce the release of the patch with a full list of the implemented changes. If you notice any problem with the game you think, we don’t know about it yet, feel free to report it on Steam Discussion in a proper tab or on our Discord server: https://discord.gg/yW6mSad

Thank you for all your support we get from you and keep an eye on the upcoming announcements!

See you on streets!
