1.0.4 Patch

Another day, another patch! In today's patch we introduce some small improvements requested by players, as well as fixing a few minor bugs and tightening security around leaderboard submissions.

New launch parameters


Two new launch parameters have been added:
  • -noscaling : prevents the UI from automatically scaling since it can cause issues on some Linux multi-monitor setups
  • -nobackground : prevents the game from running in the background since it can cause GPU over-use on some setups

Grid changes


As requested by a few players, disabling grid-snapping will no longer entirely hide the grid, but rather make it more transparent, allowing you to still maintain the visual guides for symmetry but not forcing you to build on-grid. The game will now also correctly remember your grid settings between play-sessions.

Leaderboard cheating


We've implemented more client-side checks to minimize submissions from hackers, and are almost finished with our automated tool to monitor leaderboards 24/7 and ban offending players. A reminder that we use a server-side shadow-banning system, more info at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stealth_banning

Bug fixes


  • Fixed exploit on Wrecking Ball vehicle which allowed 'cheated' solutions to 100m level
  • Line tracer would occasionally crash when filling with segments of 1.0m length
  • Some minor bugs with the Twitch integration
In keeping with the tradition here's a cool picture from our artist Javier
And as always a big thank you to all our players for providing feedback, bug reports and great ideas to improve the game!

  • Public Linux depots

  • Unleash your engineering creativity with an engaging and fresh bridge-building simulator with all the bells and whistles.
    Enjoy hours of physics-based puzzle solving in the Campaign and then jump in the Sandbox to create your own bridge designs and puzzles.
    Challenge friends and the rest of the Steam Workshop community to solve your puzzles and download more levels submitted by other players.

    Check out the User Submissions Gallery at http://gallery.drycactus.com !

    And here's our Roadmap: https://trello.com/b/9IS3LKpk/poly-bridge-roadmap





    We put lots of work in the physics of the game and the result is an accurate and consistent simulation, which also gives you access to loads of different building blocks, including hydraulic pistons to create shape-changing and moving bridges, suspension bridges, cable, steel, iron, and more.



    Enjoy hours of bridge-building fun with loads of levels to solve, ranging from simple light car bridges to multi-deck draw-bridges and jumps, just to name a few!
    Levels get increasingly challenging from the engineering aspect and restrictions are also imposed on the resources you can use to build your bridge.



    What would an awesome bridge-builder game be without an equally awesome Sandbox?
    Go wild and create the most complex bridge the world has ever seen, or just an absurd creation that pushes the mechanics of the game in a new direction, and if you're feeling like it publish your design online as a puzzle level on the Workshop for everyone to try and solve!



    Download hundreds of extra levels from the Workshop!
    We'll also be featuring the most original and fun bridge designs that are submitted, making it easier for you to find the ones that are worth the challenge.



    One of our favorite features of the game!
    Save a super cool looking animated GIF of your bridge in all its glory (or failure!) and save it locally, upload it to the Poly Bridge Gallery and/or share it on Twitter!
