For the last week or so the newest Cook, Serve, Delicious patch has been in beta due to it's major content changes, and it's been a complete success. The patch will roll out for everyone (PC, Mac, Linux) this Monday, April 14th.
I just want to thank everyone who participated in the beta and sent me bugs/ideas via email or through the forums. Y'all are awesome and made the game that much better.
Here's a list of improvements/fixes I was able to make thanks to the beta testing:
- (Beta 2.49 fix) Separated the New Game+ feature from the new Extreme Difficulty level so that everyone can try it. There are now two difficulty levels to choose from when starting any new game. New Game+ automatically takes you to the hardest difficulty as well as carries over your stats.
- (Beta 2.49 fix) Opening tutorial no longer crashes when being played after practicing a food.
- (Beta 2.49 fix) Fixed a random occurance that would cause the game to crash after the controller is accidentally disconnected.
- (Beta 2.49 fix) Trash is now thrown properly when using mouse controls.
- (Beta 2.49 fix) Fixed a glitch that would give the player burgers and corndogs for their menu when starting a new game with a controller.
- (Beta 2.49 fix) Change some wording in the tutorials to better communicate the LB/L1 and RB/R1 controls for the player.
- (Beta 2.49 fix) Properly turned off rumble when controller is accidentally disconnected during the game when the controller is enabled.
- (Beta 2.49 fix) Fixed a majority of duplicate customer errors when playing Extreme Difficulty.
- (Beta 2.49 fix) Re-mapped the Pancakes gamepad controls so they feel more natural.
- (Beta 2.49 fix) Certain foods now allow a full/rapid rotation of the analog stick to place all toppings/ingredients, but only when the recipe calls for all ingredients. The foods that allow this are Salads, Ice Cream, Fried Rice, Breakfast Sandwich, Nachos, Pasta and Pizza.
- (Beta 2.49 fix) Changed the icon of save slots to indicate Extreme Difficulty selection.
- (Beta 2.49 fix) Fixed a glitch that would not display an Extreme Difficulty save file properly when using the Restore Saves feature.
- (Beta 2.49 fix) Changed achievement text to reflect the separation of Extreme Difficulty and New Game+
- (Beta 2.49 fix) Very slightly slowed time down even further for Super Rush Hours, extending them by ~4 seconds. More effects have also been added to Super Rush Hours to up the intensity.
- (Beta 2.49 fix) Upgraded all silver-finished menu panels to 1080p (pause menu, main dialogue box, main menu).
