changedApparently I deployed the latest build while the engine and the game had older versions of pixi.js and nwjs, which has caused issues with the performance. I was doing some testing with two versions of the engine to compare the performance; one had correct versions of them both, while I used the other one to test different versions to find the optimal one. Apparently I got confused with the engines at some point and changed an older version of nwjs to the one with the correct version.

addedUPDATE: Unfortunately in some cases old saves don't like nwjs and pixi library changes and there might be some performance issues that are not present when staring a new game. I'm deeply sorry, if this happens to you, because there probably isn't any way to fix it with the engine.

addedThe second issue happened with a quest item 'Goo of a Rotten Fish', which is needed in certain quest, that is not completed yet. When player carries the item in the inventory, most npcs refuse to talk because of the smell. Normally the player can give the item to the fisherman in the Lake Road, but apparently there are some conditions that create a bug, which prevents the player from giving the goo. If you were unlucky enough to pick up the goo, now you can select it from the Quest Item inventory and discard it. I have also removed the goo from the place where it was and will add it later when I finish the quest and fix the fisherman. I'm sorry about any inconvenience!
