Hi everyone!
Today we have another huge update! It has multiple performance improvements for players who've already entered the lategame, but there's also a big fix for the save corruption that some few users have been experiencing. It's the first bullet point below so make sure to follow those instructions if you've experienced this issue!
Also, if you're enjoying the game, I would REALLY appreciate it if you reviewed it. If we reach 500 reviews with over 95% positive, we'll get the "Overwhelmingly Positive" tag, and we'll get super boosted. LET'S GET THERE!
Anyways, below are the patch notes!
Fixed bug that caused some players to have corrupted saves. To fix your save, go into C:\\Users\\YOURUSER\\AppData\\LocalLow\\Conradical Games\\Desktop Defender, where "YOURUSER" is your PC's username. Then, delete settings.sav. After this, your save should work!
