#The greatest penguin heist of all time Patch#

Part of the Blueprint Update is to remodel all maps to include a lot of additional areas, all of which will be optional to the main tasks. By the Blueprint Update this should be fixed. We're looking at more advanced solutions to this, because there's no quickfix for this. This is due to issues with the lightmapper in Unity, which can go wild when you have intersecting geometry, especially objects that are partly underneath the terrain. This can be a bit tricky, but That Other Fish is on the right track to smooth it out with some smart ideas.Īlso, since the optimization updates came out, you may have noticed some weird lights and flashes. The reason is pretty simple, and that's because Penguin Heist is a physics game with multiplayer, so every limb of every penguin has to be simulated and synchronized. This is something constantly being improved on, but is one of the harder parts to get right.

We're working on fixes, but some of them are harder to crack than others.Ĭontrols and multiplayer lag is a common issue. It will be our most ambitious update to date! So stay tuned!īefore we dive into what's to come we'd like to clarify what's going on with some of the bugs currently present in the game. We are currently in full swing developing the Blueprint Update, which will feature over 100 new quests/puzzles/things to do, spread across all current heists. A lot of the areas are empty and/or blocked off, but the daring ones can start exploring and trying to find them if they are starved for content.

We also decreased the weight of unconscious/dead penguins, meaning it's a bit easier to carry penguins through escort missions (however, expect this to be further improved come the next update).Ī side-effect of this patch is that you'll be seeing some of the new areas we are working on (I won't say where or what these new areas are!). The update has also decreased the severity of rubber-banding, increased the reliability of physics objects in the maps (such as barrels, pallets, and all carried heist objects). If you crash - do not hesitate to send us your log files! Through playtesting I experienced no crashing whatsoever but we'll see if that is the case for the rest of y'all. Alright, a small patch update has dropped to address some of the issues that have caused mid-game crashes, but we'll see to what degree.
