Gamedec Patch v1.1 Now Live

Anshar Studios’ post-launch roadmap for their cyberpunk detective RPG Gamedec promised us three major updates before the end of the year. The first of those is now here, fixing a heap of language issues, improving the game’s performance and music quality, and dealing with a bunch of minor bugs.

Here are the patch notes:

Hello, gamedecs!

It’s been three weeks since you can solve crimes in Virtual worlds, and well… it was intense! Thanks to your support, we’ve been working hard on fixing bugs that you reported for the last couple of weeks. Your feedback is vital to us, so we thank you and encourage you to continue to send us all the comments and ideas you have for the Gamedec.

The most important thing we are fixing with this patch is solving all known language issues. Besides, we have improved performance, SFX’s, polished up the sounds and many many more – see the full patch notes below.

• Fixed clipping issues on Harvest Time.

• You can no longer save/load the game to buy free strawberries.

Important notice regarding Torkil Aymore skin DLC – if you bought it and you can’t make it work, please get in touch with Steam Support; they should help you. In the Steam Support tab choose the following options: Gamedec -> DLC or bonus content is missing -> DLC -> I need help installing DLC for this game -> I’ve checked my setting and I’m still having trouble installing my DLC -> Contact Steam support

Last but not least – we were informed that soon some spooky things might happen in Warsaw City, so remember to visit Harvest Time and collect some pumpkins. They can be helpful.

At this point, that’s all. We hope that the time spent in Gamedec’s shoes will be even more enjoyable now.

Take care and stay safe!
