- Patch Title: April 2024 Update
- Patch Release Date: April 2, 2024
The developer of PieClicker has released a new update for the game on April 2, 2024. Here are the new things that you should expect to see or change on this new update. This information was curated directly from the official announcement on Steam.
This update doesn’t bring any serious changes to game play, it’s mostly a performance and background systems update. I want the game to be in a better state for future content updates, especially since PieClicker’s Steam anniversary is next month. Anyway, here’s what changed:
- Removed last traces of mod support
- Reworked how the game launches to be more smooth, ex. no white screen flashing randomly
- Updated all of the code libraries to latest versions
- Changed underlying rendering engine, this should help with Steam overlay issues, when testing I got notifications to show up in the game, this also lowered the overall size of the game slightly
- Verified that the max master chef upgrade achievement is 100% working again, hotfix will remain in place until next month for anyone who missed it
- Massively improved performance on upgrade purchase animations
Edit because I forgot another major change:
- I seriously reduced the number of files that Steam saves in the cloud, this will not affect your saved games at all but it will make future cloud syncs a lot faster, the first one will probably take a minute to process all the changes but everything after that should be much faster
- I probably reduced the number of files saved (on average) from 300 -> 8
Since there are some pretty groundbreaking changes here I’m anticipating some bugs here and there, small stuff that I missed in testing ykyk. I’ll be keeping an eye on things and issuing patches as needed.
