For those of us managing stores with friends, the multiplayer experience has been a bit hit-or-miss. This update specifically targets data sync issues, ensuring that what you see on your shelves matches what your partners see. By refactoring how the game handles save data during the loading process, Nokta Games is aiming to eliminate the hang-ups that forced many players to restart their sessions.
The Essentials DLC also received some much-needed attention. A bug preventing the DLC from initializing properly has been squashed, and the team fixed an issue where storage racks would mysteriously vanish upon loading a save. These are the kind of stability fixes that actually matter when you're deep into a high-stakes growth phase and can't afford to lose specialized equipment.
Beyond the backend overhauls, the patch includes several quality-of-life tweaks and bug fixes:
- The mouse cursor is now properly confined to the game window, preventing accidental clicks outside the screen during chaotic shifts.
- NPC behavior has been tuned to fix pathing and interaction glitches.
- Initialization logic for the Essentials DLC is now more robust.
Looking ahead, the developers confirmed they are still in the middle of a full rewrite for the restocker system. While we wait for those smarter AI workers, the team is also investigating reports of missing products. While this patch is more about stability than new content, fixing the multiplayer desync is a huge win for anyone tired of losing progress to a loading loop.
