Hello Contractors!
The 1.8.2 update is now live for ContractVille. In this patch, we are excited to present the first wave of our ongoing performance improvement efforts. The rest of our optimization work is well underway, and we will be sharing those remaining enhancements with you very shortly!
⚙️ Optimization & Visuals
Performance optimization adjustments have been made to both mission houses and standard houses throughout the world.
Unused mission houses in the world have been reworked and reorganized.
Streetlights across the world have been completely overhauled to operate much more efficiently.
Environment designs that caused performance drops—especially in the City area and across the game in general—have been completely overhauled. They now run much more efficiently and consistently.
Alongside these optimizations, we have also implemented general visual improvements to the environment.
Performance-oriented adjustments have been made to the UI textures.
🛠️ Bug Fixes
Fixed a bug that caused "Go Green" mission requirements to incorrectly appear in furniture stores within the Mission Needs menu.
Resolved an issue where mission icons were missing on certain furniture items in the Mission Needs list.
Fixed a UI issue that was causing text to overflow from the Mission Needs widget.
👔 Gameplay Adjustments
Clients joining a game session for the first time will now automatically start with the CEO role. (As always, you can still freely adjust and assign roles however you wish!)
🚀 Looking Ahead: DirectX 12
Contractors, we are constantly pushing to give you the smoothest experience possible. We want to give you a quick heads-up that we will be releasing another performance update soon, specifically focused on optimizing DirectX 12 utilization. Keep an eye out for it!
Thank you for your continued support and feedback. We hope you enjoy the improvements in 1.8.2. Happy contracting!
