Dealers!
From the past few weeks, we gave you the SDG 1.0.6 Update, which adds some new implementations and changes to Drug Dealer Simulator. As we’ve already mentioned before, the 1.0.7 Update is right on its way. Our work is almost finished, and soon, we'll start the first tests before the release.
But during our work on 1.0.7, we’ve also received messages from you about the performance issues that some of you are experiencing during gameplay, after the previous update. We didn’t want to leave that unfixed, so for a crack, we’ve put the newest update aside to make a Hotfix for current issues.
We’ve already finished it and it launches right now!
Also, we’ve received an official announcement from Ghetto’s Police Station, that T.R.A.P. decided to give the citizens a small portion of Halloween spirit! Expect the decorations and carved pumpkins on the streets and start the celebration by sharing your "treats" with others!
Here’s a full list of fixes and changes in Hotfix:
Performance fixes:
- Split the whole world map to multiple streaming levels to reduce draw calls and memory usage
- Reworked the world object draw distance, distance and visibility culling configuration to reduce draw call
- Added or generated multiple LOD levels for small and large objects all over the world to reduce GPU usage
- Configured culling, static mesh settings and material instance settings for reduced CPU and memory usage
- Optimised distance fields usage to reduce memory usage
- Optimised or reworked world texture and decal mip-map settings for better performance
Bug fixes:
- Fixed a bug where timed out clients could become non-responsive and stay on the map forever
- Fixed multiple small hideout issues
- Fixed multiple minor bugs and problems
Added:
- New models for some map objects
- Special Halloween models on the map
- A package of new audio cues for certain UI or world activities and interactions
Thank you for your support and feedback that helped us a lot in finding and identifying the bugs. If you find any bug that you think we probably don’t know about, you can let us know about it on our official Discord server, or on Steam Forums in the proper tab.
