Drug Dealer Simulator News

Heyo!

When you thought that DDS1 updates are a thing of the past, we asked an external team of artists to improve the visuals of our firstborn. It’s a small gift from us to the community that’s been ceaslessly supporting the Drug Dealer universe since DDS’s release in 2020.

The update will be FREE. Later on we’ll let you know when it’s supposed to drop, and we’ll give you a full overview of it.

The original version of the game will still be available on a separate branch, so you’ll be able to switch between them at any time.

[h2]What’s going to change?[/h2]

The overhaul affects many aspects of the visuals, but as a whole, it is subtle enough to not change the style of the game. The goal is to make it more pleasant to the eye. It improves colors, lighting, effects, and selected textures to make the game look more natural.

Take a look at a couple of comparisons:

High, Dealers!

We have extensive plans around our DDS Universe, including all the games in the series. We want to share them so can better understand the timeline and priorities. The #1 priority is of course making DDS2 the best it can be via continuous improvements based on your feedback and the devs’ ambitions, so you can see how much space we’ll dedicate to that.

Afterwards, we’ll focus on expanding the world through free content updates, DLCs, and DDSxNarcos. Oh, and we’ll have a surprise for the fans of DDS1.:)

Without further ado… Here’s the plan!

Hi Dealers,

If you own an Intel 10 (or newer) processor, you may experience problems launching the game. This bug has been present for some time, but with the growing number of new players and newer, more powerful computers, it has become more noticeable recently.

If this happens, here’s the

[h2]SOLUTION:[/h2]

We’ve added a launch option “Play DDS (For newer generation Intels (10+)”

Simply choose it at launch and the game should work just fine.
You can mark “Always use this option” to never bother selecting it again.



[h2]WHY DO YOU EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM?[/h2]

Certain OpenSSL versions used by Unreal Engine 4.13.x - 4.21.x. cause a crash bug that is due to the nature of the technology used and not a fault of the developers. Since we used a 4.21.2 version of the engine, new generations of Intel processors do experience this crash bug. However, this issue affects only a portion of users with newer Intel processors.

Fortunately, the steps necessary to overcome the crash are simple. We have written about them HERE IN OUR FAQ - https://steamcommunity.com/app/682990/discussions/0/3845556684660691089/


Now you can simply use the new launch option to save yourself the hassle. It's safe for you and your computer, and it's a known workaround suggested by Intel themselves.

If the problem persists and affects a bigger part of the community, we'll consider other solutions

We’re sorry that you have experienced the issue.
