we have just released Update 9.7.4 addressing a bunch of issues while we continue the work on the second major part of the 9.7 performance update series:
Optimization
- Improved: The /profiler command for server profiling was improved and it is now possible to start all important profilings with /profiler everything.
- Fixed: Some players, usually with a cpu with a low amount of cores, would experience FPS drops when moving.
Civics
- Fixed: Stores using the treasury would close after a server restart.
Tools
- Fixed: The sound for a broken tool was no longer playing consistently.
- Fixed: The display of tool durability showed wrong values.
- Fixed: The durability bar of tools would vanish after a tool was moved.
World Objects
- Fixed: Housing points for multiple, repeated rooms did not get reduced properly.
- Fixed: The Futon Couch was missing its model in the world.
Miscellaneous
- Fixed: The game would take a long time to close or crash during the closing process.
