In this update, the next of the series of smaller patches since the big v1.2 update, I've added a back up system to make sure no one else has their progress file wiped. This had affected a few players who had the game crash or had a power outage during the save operation. I'm sincerely sorry to those players who were affected and took this very seriously, spending the time to create a very robust back up and restore system.
There are also a ton of performance optimisations (too many to list!) so the game will run much better and use less memory.
Finally, there are a heap of minor improvements and bug fixes.
The update after this one will improve the controller support and navigation, so please look out for that one if you play with a controller or on a Steam Deck!
Patch notes:
Progress file back up system:
- adds a system for automatically backing up and restoring progress files if the progress file gets corrupted
- adds a system for making local daily backups
Performance optimisation:
- a lot of performance optimisation changes that will make the game faster, especially with large decks or many cards in play at the same time
Card changes:
- changes Old Baseball Card's suit to Clubs (was Spades)
- removes Old Baseball Card from the Crown & Anchor reward pool
Other improvements:
- the deck selection screen now has a nice animation of the deck growing in size as the cards are added to it
- makes ID Card customiser randomisation better handles a changing number of possible customisations (importantly: Santa hat was not selectable by the randomiser)
- makes flying suit icons that come from card effects respect animation speed setting
- let draw pile be taller when deck is large
- increase both damage cap and damage multiplier cap to 999999 (was 9999)
- improves XVIII The Moon and The Moon XVIII to show the final scores during the damage comparison "clash" animation

King of the Hill
King of Kings
King Cobra
King of the World
