Hey everyone!
This hotfix follows the previous fix that resolved the save data corruption and no clean issue. You can read that here.
With our previous hotfix, we fixed an issue causing player save data to be corrupted after an unexpected shutdown. Unfortunately, the fix caused the autosave feature to be more intensive and introduced poor performance on certain PCs. With this hotfix, we have optimised the way that save data is created and provided a further option for players on PCs which may continue to see stuttering.
Changes
- Moved the autosave off the main thread. Reports indicate this has vastly improved performance for those affected.
- Added an option for players to toggle autosave off. In the event you continue to experience stuttering, please disable this in the Options menu. When finishing a session, please be sure to quit the game from the menu to ensure progress is saved. (For example don't alt+tab to close the program or the autosave will not work and you will lose your wash progress on that level)
- Legacy wash mode improvements to bring the effectiveness more in line with Standard
Please let us know if this has resolved the issue using the in-game feedback/bug report tool by pressing F8. Although we have had great feedback so far on our Discord and here on Steam.
If you are currently using a beta branch, you will want to uncheck that option now and return to the main version of the game!
Thanks again everyone for helping us track these issues down as quickly as possible and we hope you all have a fantastic time in game!
