Unofficial Known Bugs & Fixes

Hi, I have been within the Drago Community discord since the release date of the Gas Station Simulator. I have noticed a lot of you guys are missing information on currently known bugs and some fixes for common problems within the game due to not being in the discord. I have put together this thread to help bring over information from the discords Bug Reports and Technical Information pages. I will begin with listing all known Bugs that I know of then I will list fixes to some problems you guys may have. The guys at Drago are busy getting the next update ready to be pushed please be patient with them they are a small team after all.

Known Bugs

(In no particular order)

I have tried my best to list as many known bugs that I could but unfortunately, I’m just one man and some will be missed if you guys think of any that I have missed let me know and I will add them to the list. Just so you know the Developers are aware of these and are currently working on the next update removing some so when they get removed I will also update that here.

  Fixes to some issues

  
  I will list a few fixes I have found to work again I will miss some but if you guys help out I will add them to the list. I will not be liable for any you try that’s on you.
  
  
  1. Game frozen on Loading screen/Loading a save - The only real fix here is patience the game can sometimes take a couple of minutes to load, as long as the game is open it will be loading the only time you have a problem is when it closes. Just be patient and wait for it I cannot stress this enough. (Using faster m2’s, SSD’s, etc. lowers the load times if you have it saved on an external drive try putting it on your c: drive see if it helps.)
     
     
  2. Game stuttering, Laggy or Low Frames - I thankfully haven’t seen this issue but from the discussions, I see that the trusty red button helps this issue give it a go.
     
     
  3. Game crashes(closes) on loading a save - The only advice I can give here is to join the discord and send your save folder (\AppData\Local\GSS2\Saved or \Steam\steamapps\common\Gas Station Simulator\GSS2\Saved) to the Devs they will look into the data and see what is causing the issue this will help them implement fixes.
     
     
  4. Saves Disappearing after power loss - Open your save folder with game saves. 2. Start the game. 3 press “New Game”. 4. Wait for the new Autosave to appear. 5. Remember the name, delete that save, rename your “The Second most recent autosave” to that name. 6. Exit the game. 7. Launch the game again, and you should be able to load your game
     
     
  5. Cars Flipped over or stuck on a wall etc. - Uses the Broom in your inventory to help the vehicle out be careful not to move your mouse too fast as you will end up sending the vehicle to the next town. It is the most useful tool you have
     
     
  6. No vehicles coming to your Garage/Fuel Pumps/Workshop - The vehicle that was appointed that spot will have gotten stuck up the highway to fix this press the red button on your Garage Open/Closed Sign.
     
     
  7. Employee Stuck at Pump - This usually happens during a sandstorm. Quick tip use Rudy to move the sand fast. Then hit F5 to autosave and right after F9 to load the autosave! This will get the worker to reset/unstuck!
     
     
  8. Certain decorations/items shrinking or expanding on loading a save - The only quick and easy fix for this is either picking up the decoration and replacing it down to reset it to its default state or if it is an item placing it back on to the shelf/Bin
     
     
  9. Locked out of Warehouse - Look for the keys hanging from the hanger/Wall at your gas station(Should be across from your Till), pick them up and you should be able to open the warehouse
     
     
  10. Some achievements not completing - The Devs did implement fixes to some achievements but they don’t unlock retroactively (Should be fixed in the next Update) so to complete them you could backup your save files then completely empty the 'SavedGames' folder this will allow you to start a new game and unlock achievements previously broken. (The following are still broken. First Tip, Gaining Skill, Tip of the Iceberg, Mining Shaft!, Jack of all Trades and Secret Achievement (Time lower than 1.02 on the first RC race)) Again you could just wait for a fix to be implemented if you don’t want to start a new game or would have trouble backing up your saves.
  
  

  Fixed Bugs

  • Mini-golf gives you infinite money.
    
  • Employees Get stuck in Warehouse.
    
  • Sandstorms not spawning sand piles.
    
  • Sparks on the cables after loading a saved game.
    
  • Some achievement fixes. (Not all.)
    
  • Game freezes on loading save. (not loading screen freezes.)
    
  • Vehicle hood stays open when an employee works in Workshop.
    
  • Large car part orders missing items.
    
  • Spark plug stand only hold 8 items.
    
  • Workshop lift button can be double-tapped to finish the task without completing it.
    
  • Lock picking challenge reward can be given multiple times after it has been completed.
    
  • NPC's “flying” around the gas station in a sitting position.
    
  • Rudy's location and Fuel supply resets on load
    
  • Sunglasses stand faces the wrong way
    
    
    

    Conclusion

    
    Again I stress I am but one man trying to help you all out and will have missed plenty of things that I will add and also let the Developers know about if it is new. The information written here is my work and is in no way associated with Drago themselves. I will not be liable for any problems you occur from trying any of the fixes. These are fixes I have found in-game and online not from the Team themselves. Special thanks to Belmos for helping to gather the bugs I missed.
    
    Good Luck and I hope this clears up some issues you are facing. Also, we would be happy to see you guys on the Discord if you need more help it's linked below.

Thank you, Very constructive post and it might help out some people.

[LordJmd]

if it helps out even one person I will be happy :)

[Kruzenschtern]

Forget it, we all know those.

[BeeVa]

Very much appreciated! Good thinking on your part bringing the information over. Didn't even know there was a discord lol.

[BioFringe]

They should have posted and pinned this type of thread from day one. Thanks for taking the time and putting in the effort.

Here is a few other Quick things:

- warehouse corners paint sometimes changes back to previous color.
- hitting the lift button in the garage twice fast will complete the repair. You will take credit, but no cash.
- the second warehouse door sometimes is still open. (Happens when you are closing it to fast and truck isnt out). This is a visual bug. The door is actualy closed.
- there currently is only 1 game breaking bug. If you manage to scare of Dennis the first time. He will not draw the walls, and thus you cant complete the task of painting his drawn walls! Make sur to let him do his thing the first time around!!


Then somethings to notice as extra. The worker/employee getting stuck on the fueling task. This usualy happens during a sandstorm. Quick tip use rudy to move the sand fast. Then hit F5 to auto save and right after F9 to load the auto save! This will get the worker reset/unstuck!

There always seems to get a car stuck in the last parking area you buy on the planter there! For good measure i mean the parking lot that is upgrade 4 in the pc menu! Usualy this is a large car (Police car or truck)

Trusty old rudy always resets to his spot next to the warehouse after loading the game! Just like trashcans always need to be cleaned, and locks cant be picked on loading a game! Apparently this seems to be all the same bug, were the "state" of these things isnt "saved" with the progress and always loads in its default value!

Last but not least i myself barely have crashes! Have had 1 in 50+ hours of play. I use a year+ old new build rough estimate. Ryzen 3700, sapphire 5700xt, 16gb ram. 570 aorus elite board, a intel 1tb M2 disk. This is enough to run the game at 3440x1440 on epic settings with out problems!!

The game certainly has its quirks but in noway is it unplayable.

Also replying with "forget it we know these" or "they should have pint these from day 1"

1 nice that you know them, doesnt mean another knows them and this might be helpfull for those people.
2 yeah if all in the world was that simple that you would know every single bug from day 1, dont you think they wouldnt have fixed it then before launching the game?!

Just be patient, as from what i could gather the latest build is already being tested. And even has room for some suggested improvements wits somd QOL stuff.

I didn't mean post all the bugs as if they knew that they existed. That would be ridiculous to expect. I meant that they should have had a Known Bugs thread pinned since day one. Was that too hard to understand?

They don't even have a dedicated board to post bugs or seek tech support. Shame really.

K cool enough. Its al in the header though "join us on discord" and when they mean join us it realy means join us! Redex is answering everyone left and right with there questions! ( if he isnt bussy testing fixes ) Trust me they are working on it.

Also Redex mentioned he needed to make a post like this but hasnt come around to do it. ( only so manny hours in a day really ) i am sure he appreciates Josh his post. Saves him some time!

Also it is just a small time indie developer. Its not easy to find the time to do these things. Almost sure this took Josh an hour of his time

Great. So I need to go somewhere other than here to get info direct from the dev? Great. I've had my fill of the game and I don't really care what these devs do. I just find this practice of ignoring your customers to be unacceptable. Apparently you think it's ok so I'll consider you part of the problem. I'm done here.

[Belmos]

Huuuuhhhhh and sometimes there is just no pleasing some one

Yeah gl buddy hope you try it again in a week are so, Redex did mention a new patch will arive "soon". Dont expect it away longer then a week tbh

Your welcome I will try to keep it as up-to-date as I can I do have a full time job so I will do my best. I have noticed a few people now saying they didn't know about the discord! I have put a link to it at the bottom of the thread

No problem definitely need this or similar post from the Devs pinned as they do get lost really easily.

That's great that you know them. This post is aimed at people that come to the discussions looking for an answer and hopefully I can provide that for them. If there is anything else you know that I have forgotten feel free to post them and help out too. I know you guys are getting upset with the lack of communication from Devs but what I'm doing here is for you guys who do not wish to join the discord or even some don't know what discord is! This is not to cover the Devs backs. As I mentioned earlier even if this post helps one person I will be happy
