Hey cleaners,
A focused stability and performance pass landed today. The biggest win:
first-time mouse rotation, first NPC conversation, and first use of every
cleaning tool no longer stutter — the game now pre-warms shaders and
particles during loading so it's silky from the very first frame of play.
⚡ Performance
• Major shader/PSO warmup pass — eliminates first-use hitches
• Multi-threading fix (resolved a long-standing race condition)
• Removed dead material references that were silently slowing loads
🛠 Fixes
• Linux crash fixed
• Water extractor behaviour cleaned up
• Extraction tool positioning is now precise
• End-of-day saving + tween cleanup no longer conflict
• Layered UI rendering errors resolved
• Interactable object handling stability pass
🎨 Polish
• New splash logo effect
• Card dither effect for nicer card visuals
• Refreshed graphics settings screen
• FOV setting added
🏆 Online
• Steam Leaderboard support added
Thanks for all the feedback — keep it coming on the steam discussion board.
Happy cleaning!
