fixedGreetings survivors, Again, a huge thank you for all those giving us feedback now the game is out in the wild. Our 1st Hotfix improved performance issues, but we can do better. Therefore, we've released another hotfix that includes the following:
changedPerformance and stability improvements, including:

changedResponsiveness tweaks in Technology Development and Law Committee views
changedReduced memory usage (which fixes some of the crashes)

Performance and stability improvements, including:

  • Smoother gameplay during the late-game and fast forward

  • Level of Detail refinements

  • Responsiveness tweaks in Technology Development and Law Committee views

  • Reduced memory usage (which fixes some of the crashes)

  • Shorter save game time

Fixed issues

  • Mouse scroll doesn’t work for zoom-in/zoom-out after the game is started with skip prologue and tutorial turned on

  • During story events, when the cursor hovers on choices for the first time, it tends to show wrong suggestions

  • Large UI.. scaling issues

  • Electronic chips could be produced far beyond the storage capacity limit, resulting in a potential progression blocker

  • Having saved games from the demo on the drive occasionally crashed the full version of the game

  • Autosaves could have been more frequent than the set number

  • People were taking paths that were too long to get ot the Canteens, sometimes resulting in disturbed productivity

Tweaks/additions

  • Bad Relations now affect Unrest less harshly

  • System profiler which sets up settings based on player’s computer specs.

  • Weather effects now have different quality levels, which affects performance.

This relates to build number: 1.0.20915

Remember we also have a"low performance/stability guide"for you:

  • We'll be constantly optimizing the game in the following updates of which this is the 2nd.

  • The risk of corrupted saves should be far lower now. Plus autosaves were too frequent in earlier builds. We suggest saving frequently and make backups of the saves from time to time

  • In fairness, please don't expect miracles - if you have a low-end machine, play at lower resolution and reduce visual effects. Please check the suggested specs below.

  • Our "Painterly" art style doesn't automatically mean it's "cheaper" performance-wise. There's plenty of detail, lighting and effects that will keep the GPU busy.

  • The game's complexity also naturally means that the more buildings/people you have, the more power it demands, which is especially visible on fast forward (more calculations in a time frame).

We would also like to remind players of the spec requirements: MINIMUM (1920x1080, Video Settings 'HIGH'): Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system OS: Windows 10 x64 Processor: Intel(R)

Core(TM) i5-4460 or AMD equivalent Memory
