Hey everyone,

The 4th post-launch patch is here. In this update, I've fixed a number of employee bugs and multiplayer issues.

There have been a few saving/loading issues, and I think this is primarily due to Windows permissions preventing Schedule I from writing files during the save process. As far as I know, this only occurs for a relatively small percentage of players. To help detect and fix this issue, I've created a system that will detect when there is a file writing permissions issue and display a pop-up in the main menu that provides instructions to resolve the issue.

Tweaks/Improvements

• Added write permissions auto checker.
  
• Added automatic bug reporting for multiplayer join fails.
  
• Added a bug report category for employees.
  
• A bug report is now automatically submitted if it takes more than 90 seconds to load into a multiplayer game.
  
• Product names are now made file-safe before attempting to save.

Bug fixes

• Fixed a number of employee pathfinding bugs.
  
• Fixed a bug involving employees sometimes not being able to place items if the destination is almost at full capacity.
  
• Fixed vehicle trunks duplicating items.
  
• Added a check to prevent duplicated text in the management clipboard.
  
• Fixed a number of janky colliders in the post office.
  
• Fixed 'I'm stuck' button not working in the prologue.

Thank you for reading!

Hey everyone,

Here's the 3rd post-launch patch for Schedule I. I've a number of bugs and added the option to include your save file with your in-game bug report. This will allow me to track down and fix issues much faster than previously possible.

Tweaks/Improvements

• Added 'include save file' option to the in-game bug reporting tool (ticked by default).
  
• Added more categories to choose from when reporting a bug.
  
• 'Include screenshot' is no longer ticked by default when selecting a bug.

Bug fixes

• Fixed employees sometimes placing non-applicable items into the ingredient slot of mixing machines.
  
• Some position checks were added for employees to prevent invalid position assignments. I believe this was having a knock-on effect and causing a few other bugs.
  
• Fixed null NPC element in a list causing a black screen when sleeping.
  
• Fixed trash bag contents disappearing on save/load.
  
• Increased client timeout threshold to 30s - this should allow for clients to receive all necessary data when loading into a late-game save without timing out.
  
• The internal 'brick' item is no longer created when unpackaging a brick at a packaging station.
  
• Fixed a misspelling in a supplier message.
  
• Added some more validity checks to stored items, preventing other resultant bugs.
  
• Fixed businesses, sometimes adding themselves to the 'owned businesses' list several times, which caused some other bugs.
  
• Fixed NPCs entering/exiting Randy's Bait & Tackle incorrectly.
  
• Added some null checks to handler transit routes.

If you're experiencing any bugs that haven't yet been fixed, don't worry - releasing daily patches will be my top priority until the game is stable for everyone.

I really appreciate all the bug reports I've been getting - they genuinely do help me out a lot. Unfortunately, I can't personally reply to most reports, but I promise all major issues will be addressed as quickly as possible.

Thank you for reading!
