Update: Stability, Saves, and Performance

This update focuses on stability, saves, and performance. It brings together many fixes reported by the community, along with several quality-of-life options.

Engine and Performance

• Updated the game engine to a newer version.

• The game now ships with all its dependencies and launches without any extra installation.

• Improved overall performance.

Gameplay

• The sausage revive has been significantly improved and now works as intended.

• A player who dies now drops the item they were holding.

• The fire extinguisher is more effective and puts out fires faster.

• Added the mallet, available in the shop, to move barbecues around.

Visuals

• Meat trays now display correctly on low and medium graphics quality.

Bug Fixes

• After a ragdoll fall, the player now gets back up exactly where they fell, instead of being teleported elsewhere.

• The "Light cannibalism" achievement now unlocks correctly.

Saves and Loading

• Barbecues are now saved and reloaded correctly, with no duplication.

• The delivery truck is now saved correctly and no longer reappears in the middle of the garden.

• Improved the overall reliability of the save and load system.

• Difficulty settings are now applied correctly again when loading a game.

Death and Resuming a Game

• The mode that lets you continue after all players have died now works correctly, including after a death by fire: the player no longer dies again immediately after resuming.

• When a game is saved while a player is dead and then everyone leaves, that player now returns with half their health, at a safe spawn point, and can take damage again. Previously, they came back with an empty health bar and were invincible.

Delivery Truck

• The delivery truck can no longer appear twice.

• The delivery truck no longer gets stuck on the road without moving.

Multiplayer

• Client players now see the items that pedestrians take from the shop.

Quality of Life

• Added an option to adjust the cursor size.
