[ 2022-05-13 13:49:14 CET ] [ Original post ]
Bug fixes
- Selling items to NPCs.
- Unstuck option in Draxs area not working properly.
- Scale for female models (there was an unintentional reduction in size of about 30% during optimizations).
- The error of freezing the screen and items disappearing in the buyback screen.
- Player collision with the environment (fixed "flytraps").
- Warehouse upgrades not showing in HC mode.
- Duplicated hints in the dialog.
- Upgrade options even if the player has a bonus in the hideout at max.
- GUI getting stuck when selling/ buying.
- Quest and character tracking on the map.
- Defecating notifications.
- Cap reduction of defecation from 100 to 99.
- English label of cardboard bedding in Czech version.
- Graphic bugs fixed.
- Zookeeper achievement fix.
- Sweet Home achievement added.
- Influencer achievement gained, when earning reputation with NPCs over 100.
- Added indication of achieved level at level up.
Correction/update of texts
- Crazy reconciling with Zachy.
- 2x carnations with toilet attendant.
Rework and optimization
- Achievements (complete refactor of the internal system)
- Sound optimization and quality tuning
- Rendering optimizations
- Scratch off card scratching optimizations
- Compression improvements (smaller size especially on Nintendo and Playstation)
- 3D character models
- Improved texture loading, it no longer happens that the textures are loaded asynchronously and for some time they seem blurred
- NPC spawning
- Occlusion culling and related light issues.
- Reflection rendering
- Light quality improvement
- Vegetation (multi-level system according to quality settings)
Unexpected snags/things that caused delays in updates
- The need to add a system to re-initialize internal systems when going from offline mode to online. (If you do not have a paid mode on the console the game is in offline mode by default. When purchasing online you have to switch to online mode to which all systems must respond)
- Complete rework of saving options
- Correction of intro playback - correction of termination/skipping, solving the problem with playback on consoles. Different quality versions are added according to the hardware, etc.
- SDKs (EOS, Nintendo) update needed and fixed incompatibility of existing code
- Complete asynchronous scheduler refactoring due to differences in working with threads on different platforms
- Problems with memory allocation in multiplayer on non-windows platforms. Re-allocations from C# code to native plugins tailored to the platform needed (One of the two biggest delays. It was not known where the problem was, it was solved with Epic, Unity, Nintendo, and Sony and in the end, we managed to find out where the problem is and how to solve it.)
- Unity version was downgraded due to performance degradation caused by some of the fixes in the engine.
- Fixed various rare errors with the save system on Playstation.
- Fragmentation of streamed parts of the city is needed for better memory management and faster/more efficient loading
- Problem with depth rendering (depth buffer) solved on the PS4 base (necessary correction/intervention by Unity into the engine).
- The solution to the problem of continuous freezing during the game (the second of the two biggest delays; was noticeable, especially on PS4 and Xbox One).

Hobo: Tough Life Linux [6.2 G]
Welcome to Praslav, a cold Central European city that grows even colder with the coming winter. Praslav is recovering from the political turmoil that followed the end of the Cold War and the fall of the Communist regime, which held the country in its iron grip for decades.
While most people eagerly awaited the coming of democracy and capitalism, some were unable to adapt to the new socio-economic climate. Soon they found themselves on the streets with nowhere to go.
You are one of those people.

Keep an eye on your needs and other variables, which interact in realistic ways - staying warm, dry, and well-fed are not your only concerns. Poor hygiene and dirty clothes make you smellier, low temperature increases the risk of falling ill, and whatever piece of food comes in must also come out at some point.
![]()
How far are you willing to go to survive? Steal, burgle, and consort with criminals of all sorts. If necessary, take what you need by force. However, you are not an action hero. Consider your actions carefully, for the consequences are often severe, and benefits rarely outweigh the risks. Most importantly, keep your wits about you. Even if you are not willing to hurt people for personal gain, others are.

Spend the last few days of autumn wisely – gather supplies, equipment, and materials to help you survive the most difficult of seasons. Weather is unpredictable, but there is one certainty - every day is colder than the last. With a lot of preparation and a bit of luck, you might even see the spring again.

Unlike other survival games, Hobo: Tough Life leans heavily on its story content. Experience dozens of storylines inspired by real-life events and people. Solve quests, meet unique NPCs, gain their trust, make allies and enemies, join various factions, and find your place in the streets of Praslav.

Maybe there is no warm apartment waiting for you at the end of the day, but you do not have to keep sleeping on park benches either. Find a suitable place and get to work. Construct walls and roofs to shield you from the elements. Gather discarded furniture and curios to furnish your hideout and make it truly your own.

Is surviving on your own too difficult? Get the gang together. The game supports online co-op multiplayer for up to 4 players. Play alone, together with your friends, or even with total strangers. Team up, collect resources, build a shanty town, survive the winter.

For over a decade, no one has been able to bring the many factions of the homeless together. The throne of the Homeless King has been sitting empty for far too long. Who will earn enough respect and prove themselves worthy of uniting the homeless? Will you rise to the occasion?
