☃️Hey snow fans!❄️🌨️
We would like to present you an optimisation update with the introduction of auto-save! In addition, we have a few more features, including direct contact with us through the gameːthebuilderː ːladyengineerː Without further delays, let's start❗️
🖥️Optimalisation💻
1. Changing from DirectX12 to DirectX11👨💻
Changing to DirectX11 allows for a drastic reduction of stuttering in Snow Plowing. There should no longer be random FPS drops when moving/driving a car (after changing DirectX12 to DirextX11, remember to click save and do a game relog!)
2. Snow track accuracy⛄️🌨️
You can change this value from 1 to 20. 1 - the most frequent, default refresh rate, 20 - the rarest. The closer you get to 20, the more FPS you will have. My advice is to change from 1 to 4 to start with and see the difference in FPS (we tested it on a couple of computers and the difference is big, sometimes as much as 50% more FPS with options closer to 20), then calibrate the frequency to your preference. (Note - at option 20, due to the infrequent refresh rate, the snow may look a little strange, while the gameplay will be smoothest)
💾Autosave🎮
The game will save itself every time you leave the property or leave the road which is a snow plowing mission. The option will be indicated by the autosave sign at the top of the screen.
You can still save from game menu (I recommend doing so at least at the end of a session in Snow Plowing, due to the fact that you may, for example, buy an tool, want to exit the game but do not exit the garage and 'auto-save' does not appear - in which case the latter action will not be saved) or on white board in HUB
📲Contact us📠
From now on, if you encounter a bug, you can immediately report it to us via the game by sending an additional save! (We also recommend that you put your e-mail address in the ‘write back’ field, which will allow us to fix your save if a bug is preventing you from continuing the game in some way🕵).
You can of course also report your ideas via this option🛠️
👨🔧Fixing minor errors👩🔧
We have improved the save system. You will have to wait a while longer before entering the game for the first time, but this will reduce your save. Some players used to have 250 megabytes in their save folder, now it will be around 50 megabytes. Your saves should load faster.
❗️Remember - Snow Plowing is still in Early Access. Gameplay errors can happen! Therefore, we look forward to your feedback. Most bugs are being fixed thanks to your reports❗️
