Post patch issues

[WIREDGary]

Good evening everyone!

Hope that your week has been kind!
Just taking a little peek at the comments in the news update and noted a couple of folks citing resolution / performance issues with the game since the update - specifically :

"Anyone having performance issues after the update?"

"I don't know if it's just me, but this update has caused the in game notifications to be out of view. I can't see my currently held money and trashbag while the hopper full/game broken notifications and the task/goal complete notifications are barely noticeable when they come on. Still playable, but annoying."

"My FPS hasn't gone down but the game stutters like hell, there must be a problem as it was butter smooth before."

I've passed these over to the devs to look at - however in the mean time can you all use this thread to post anything that's changed / seemingly been impacted BY the patch so I can keep an eye over the weekend?

If you are experiencing resolution / performance issues then when raising them here can you please be sure to include :

- PC specs
- What resolution you were running before patch
- What resolution you're needing now
- What overall settings you have

The more info you can provide the quicker we can identify any potential new and interesting issue and get a hotfix sorted if it's needed!

Thank you in advance!

I kept experiencing two bugs with the jukebox since launch (no, not the goal reset bug; that one seemed to be gone the last time I played).

Can the developers, or someone else, please let me know if the new patch tackles these bugs:

-first of all, one of the tracks that are available from the start isn't counting for the goals; I can't say for sure which one it is, but I listened to all the tracks multiple times, and my counter of listened tracks is always one track short; even after buying some new songs, I listened to everything again more than once, and the total counter is still missing one track;

-additionally, the cover for the track "Credits" by Mono Era appears to be "glitching" (this already happened before the patch"; when I load the save, and I scroll through the covers of the tracks, this one always shows up as having a cover from one of the other tracks; only after I press to play it, leave the jukebox, and re-enter, will it start displaying the right cover for the rest of my game session; but, when I load a save, it usually happens again; sometimes, one or two of the other tracks have a similar thing happen (they display the cover of another track, instead of the correct track, when a save is loaded).

thanks

Still have to hit enter on the icon to get all of the machines available to purchase to show up. Even then, when you scroll,, it sometimes loses the available games.

I've had this same issue since launch.. Usually the office computer will work normally for a few days (in game) and then it suddenly becomes crazy where scrolling jumps immediately to the top or bottom of the arcade lists and you can't click to close windows and I have to use the PDA to exit the computer.

Hey JCB, that’s no good is it? We’ll get this passed on to the developers for you!

Hey Brizzlefeller, the developers are aware of this one, have you tried using a controller or using the WASD keys instead when scrolling? It’s a lot less manic than using the mouse, see if that helps, if not I will fill in a bug form for you.

Also I verified Files then uninstalled and reinstalled still only get to the loading screen and nothing else. (The Loading screen after clicking new game) Current settings are 1440p windowed full-screen with 60 fov

Hey heyfunny, I will pass this on for you and see if there’s anything we can do. I can however suggest deleting the save and cloud save as sometimes the infinite loading screen issue has been linked to that. Here’s how if you need a hand - https://steamcommunity.com/app/1388870/discussions/0/3434577854909808772/

Playing through the game on Switch made me see a bug I never noticed before in Racer Chaser (The Pac-man GTA game). On both Steam and Switch, when you crash your car and on foot, you can use the WASD and d-pad to move. However, if you were to fire music notes at the cops when going diagonally up-left or up-right with WASD or D-pad, your notes will fire directly down (south). This does not happen when going diagonally down. Analogue stick controls work as intended.

Video Air Hockey on both Steam and Switch, there is a funky behavior where if you get your paddle and puck to be bouncing off each other as close to the wall as possible, there is a chance the puck would warp somewhere else on the field. This isn't a huge problem, but kinda odd.

And as of 11/9/2022 around 10AM CST, I see only Empathy and CyberDancer EuroMix as DLC on Switch, with Smoke 'Em seemingly removed. A few days ago, all three were listed but not all were buy-able, giving an error message saying we already own the DLC if you were to buy two or more. The Coin-Op 1 bundle also had issues working correctly with it not giving Smoke 'Em. Wired Jake had commented on a different topic that this is a known issue with the Nintendo eShop, having others unable to buy all the DLC, so it looks like this is getting worked on.

Hey Discon,

It seems you are absolutely loving the game and thanks for the heads up on these. I will feedback to the team.

Issue with the DLC pack for the nintendo switch version. Apparently Smoke em was missing from the dlc bundle. I don't know if the bundle is still listed on the eshop as I had to hunt it down in the first place, but it looks like this might have been a known issue or something else is going on as when I went to the nintendo eshop page for this game I found smoke em was listed for free. So at least I have the game now.

Recommendation, double check your dlc bundles to make sure everything listed in them is there.

No there shouldn't be, if you could fill in this form to report that bug, that would be amazing. https://wiredproductions.com/patch-notes/reports/

Hello! I love your game but could it be possible to NOT save our screen resolution in the cloud saves? I like playing on my SteamDeck but also on my PC, when i come back to PC after playing on SD, my resolution changes because it was saved like this. It's annoying to have to manually change it everytime :/

Also, i'm not sure why but when i'm in a screen with my mouse, it bugs a lot keep going everywhere and not being stable? Did I missed something in the options?

anyway thanks in advance :)
