Patch 1.1
# Patch 1.1
### Changes:
- Save slots are here. Three slots with Load, New and Delete (with a confirmation step). Your current progress automatically becomes Slot 1. The New Game button can no longer wipe your save.
- Double or Nothing. We see that many of you are arguing whether or not the flip is fair, and guys, it is NOT rigged… We have been thinking about what to do in order to make it more “fair” (which is impossible by design) but you can now turn the coin before the toss. Right-click (R1 on controller) to flip the coin and choose which side you want to start with.
- Fixed the launch crash on some Windows PCs. The game could crash at the loading bar on certain setups (the DirectX 12 issue from the discussions). We applied a fix so the "delete the D3D12 folder" workaround is no longer needed.
- Steam Cloud fixed. Saves now sync correctly between devices (PC and Mac included), and Family Sharing accounts no longer see each other's saves or pop each other's achievements. Every account now gets its own save folder.
### Fixes:
- Bills and the Collection Book are no longer blurry on Low graphics.
- Medium graphics no longer renders at reduced resolution.
- Fixed a crash when relaunching the game after playing on Low or Medium graphics.
- Piggy Shuffle: We saw some of you found a “hack”, we have been thinking about leaving it in or not as we think it was still hard to tell lol but once you got it the minigame became really unfunny to play :( so now the piggies no longer give away the winner through their idle wobble.
- Double or Nothing: There was a small bug with the winning stack, now the coins/gems pile up cleanly.
- The gold coin explosions on critical hits now respect your Coins settings.
- Fixed a bug where glowing piggies would be disabled if motion effects are off.
### Settings and accessibility:
- Motion Effects off now disables everything, hammer camera movement, screen shockwave distortion, and the main menu parallax.
- The mouse is only locked to the window while aiming. Menus, pause and results free your cursor.
### QOL:
- The skill tree remembers your pan and zoom position instead of resetting every time.
- Q/E switches tabs in the upgrade menu.
- Piggy loot previews now show $ on the numbers.
- Midas Touch now explains what glowing piggy banks do.
- Lucky Loss now explains what Luck actually affects (piggy loot quality, not gambling odds).
### Balance:
- The Fresh Start coin (giving stamina after paying a bill) is now guaranteed to appear NOT as the last collected coin.
- Raised the cost of two late skill tree nodes: Second Wind boost from $3.75M to $6M, Last Stand damage from $13M to $35M. This was actually a bug, an earlier node was cheaper than the later.
### Localization:
- Russian some fixes applied
- Spanish, some fixes, orthography and wording (probably one of the most embarrassing changes for us lol…)
- Brazilian Portuguese, fixed several minigame and gadget descriptions.
Thanks so much for everyone, for your support and for reporting all kinds of issues!
### FAQ:What’s next? / When will you update the game? / Where is more content?
- We are super happy that so many of you are seeking more content and updates! We have a few ideas but we want to make sure that new content meets our expectations and that it's fun! In our head we have some ideas that sound super amazing but we need to prototype first and see… If you want to be among the first ones who get notified when we have something playable, make sure to join our discord. However the last months have been really wild for us so we need a short time to rest and unfortunately there are a few personal things we need to take care of but we’ll be back asap. What we can say for sure is that there will be more games in the future from us :)).
We are super grateful for your support and everyone who joined the piggy smasher club xD and everyone who told others about the game, left a review, comment…Thanks!
If you want to support us even a bit more (you really don’t have to) you can get a COSMETICS ONLY supporter pack. When new content drops for Bills Must Be Paid it will be a free update for everyone, just so you know.
Thanks, oink <3
Roxy & Mike
