Hi everyone,
First off, a huge thank you to everyone who has been playing and providing feedback since launch. I've been reading every review, and I genuinely appreciate you taking the time to report the performance issues some of you were encountering.
My top priority was to get a patch out as quickly as possible to address this. Today, I'm releasing patch v1.0a, which is focused entirely on performance and stability.
I'm very sorry to anyone whose runs were impacted by stutters or slowdowns, especially as The Cascade got more chaotic in the late-game. That's not the smooth, zen-like experience I want for you, and this patch aims to fix that.
Patch Notes - v1.0a
Major Performance Pass: Optimized how the game displays the essence pop-ups, and gradually reduce showing them as FPS falls. This should significantly reduce or eliminate the stuttering that could occur late in a run when hundreds of droplets are on screen.
Fixed Insight Bug: Fixed the bug where no insight is gained if the run is not a personal best.
The update should download automatically the next time you launch Steam.
If you continue to experience any technical issues, please don't hesitate to report them in the Steam Discussions. Your detailed reports are incredibly helpful for tracking these things down.
Thank you again for your patience and support. Now, go enjoy a much smoother cascade!
All the best,
JLau Studios
