BUG FIXES

Fixed a menu error when coming back from practicing a food when your Active Menu was set for a Steam Leaderboard Challenge.
Adjusted mis-aligned picture in Snap/Thumbs Up minigame.

NOTE: KNOWN ISSUES- NEED FEEDBACK
There are a few users who have the following problems with the game:
Some Mac users (MacBook Pro 2012?) unable to run the game at all.
Some users experiencing progressive slowdown.
I need feedback so I can try and solve these problems, as they exist within the engine we're using and not the game, so I'll have to report it to the GM Studio people and see what can be done. Please post in this thread: http://steamcommunity.com/app/247020/discussions/0/648814843520704173/
A big update for Cook, Serve, Delicious is now available, adding Steam Leaderboards and Steam Challenges to the game for PC, Mac and Linux! Here's a list of what's new and fixed in this patch:
NEW FEATURES
Steam Leaderboards are now available! These three boards track who has the best combo, the best daily income and the best perfect foods served in a day. Who will be the best chef on Steam?
Steam Challenges are available once the CookBet app is unlocked! This is on day 12 or so. You'll be given four foods to put on your daily menu to see who can get the most combos in any given day. These are rotating leaderboards that will be updated in the weeks ahead, so get ranked today! This update features an Easy Foods Challenge, a Hard Foods Challenge, and a Breakfast Fun Times Challenge.
One time rewards are given for participating in Steam Challenges, ranging from fast cash to tickets.
[B]BUG FIXES
(PC ONLY) Graphical errors that prevent the game from running for integrated graphics card users has now been resolved. Anyone who's running the Integrated Cards branch should switch over to the default/none branch to get this update.
Thanks everyone and enjoy the game!
Steam Leaderboards BETA now available!
The next big update for Cook, Serve, Delicious is now available as a beta! Steam Leaderboards have been built into the game- three leaderboards tracking daily stats, and three special challenges that will rotate with new ones in the coming weeks. The Steam Leaderboard Challenges will unlock once you receive the CookBet App (around the 11th day of gameplay).
This beta is for PC only but will also be available for Mac and Linux when it's officially released next week. This is a test just to make sure all the call backs and functions are working correctly once the leaderboards are populated a bit. Unless something completely malfunctions, the leaderboards will NOT be wiped once the update is officially out, so get a head start on rankings!
To access this beta, right click on Cook, Serve, Delicious! in your Library via Steam, and select Properties. Click the Betas tab and select from the drop down menu "steamleaderboards" to opt in. Your game save will carry over to this beta and will carry back into the normal release as well, so no need to worry about messed up saves/corrupt data, it's safe.
To access the Steam Leaderboard Challenges, click on the Steam button just below the CookBet App button in the mail/main menu screen.
Good luck and here's to the best chef on Steam!
Cook, Serve, Delicious! v2.17 Patch Released
Hey everybody, here's the latest patch for Cook, Serve, Delicious! that fixes some major issues with Mavericks OSX and a few smaller bugs:
NEW FEATURES
(MAC) Mavericks OSX support added. (NOTE: if you are running an older OS such as Snow Leopard, you will need to either upgrade to Mavericks for free or access a new, separate build of CSD. You can read how to do that here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/247020/discussions/0/810938082171118397/ )
Platinum Star restaurants will now have a permanent 40% buzz boost.
You can no longer serve wine until the cork is popped open, preventing accidental bad orders. In addition the cork pop sound has been changed to greater signify that it's ready to serve.
BUG FIXES
Fixed a glitch with the Hungry Fest not being checked as complete for Platinum Star restaurants.
Pancakes can no longer be served as an empty plate.
Crazy Dave would sometimes bug the CookBets option, displaying a message that foods were not correct in the Active Menu.
20k Achievement removed. Now the full set of achievements are actually achieveable!
Fixed a few typos.
That takes care of the bug list, but I am looking into the possibility of a few new updates before the end of the year that ties into Steam Leaderboards. Nothing concrete right now, but I definitely am considering it!
Thanks everyone for the support and enjoy the game!
Cook, Serve, Delicious! v2.16 Patch Released
Hey folks! I've got another fresh hot patch ready to go today for Cook, Serve, Delicious! that adds some fan requests and fixes a variety of bugs. Here's what you'll find:
NEW FEATURES
Control options added for cooking/serving. You can now bind Cook/Serve to either enter (default) or the space bar. You can find this option in the Key Binding menu.

You will now get more detailed info when hovering over food icons when Boosters/Detractors icon views are toggled.
Dates will now wait three seconds longer to have their text answered before their patience expires. This should slightly help to get your restaurant in order before answering a text.
[B]BUG FIXES[/B]
(LINUX) Cloud saves and Achievements for Linux now function correctly. If your current save file is overwritten by a save in the cloud, use the Restore Saves option in the Save menu.
Fixed a bug that would sometimes cause a fatal error when re-enabling music during the day through the pause menu.
Fixed a problem that would sometimes cause accidental entries into Crazy Dave bets when accepting a CookBet, causing UI errors.
Fixed a Pizza order that was a bit confusing as it referred to still-locked ingredients.
Added a fix with the Hungry Festivities not completing correctly. If you have completed all the events but still have not progressed to the next star level, load up your game, go into the Hungry Fest main menu, then exit out to the main menu.
Fixed a bug with Coffee pouring.
A minor bug with the Three Star Foods achievement has been fixed.
Minor typos addressed.
KNOWN ISSUES/REQUESTS
Cook, Serve, Delicious! v2.15 Patch Released!
Thanks to all your feedback, I've released a new patch for CSD! Below is a list of fixes and troubleshooting for those who have experienced issues in running the game.
NEW ADDITIONS
A new Restore Saves option has been added to the Save menu. These saves are local and will not be pushed to Steam Cloud. That way, if your files are out of sync or overwritten by an old save in the cloud, you can load up a more current save to replace it. Backups are automatically created with the normal save data.
Changed all four deep fryer food icons for better clarity.
Deleting a save will now be deleted from Steam Cloud as well.
PC INTEGRATED GRAPHICS USERS (not starting up at launch)
If you're having problems getting the game to launch and experiencing an array of graphical errors, try using the new integratedgraphics build. To access, right click Cook, Serve, Delicious via Steam and select Properties. Go to the BETAS tab and select integratedgraphics build for the beta you'd like to opt into. Steam will then download a new build. Run that one and see how it fares, and please let me know if it solves any issues via the Steam Cook, Serve, Delicious forums.
BUG FIXES
CookBet app has been fixed for one star restaurants (previously it would have foods that are not available to purchase into the random bet hopper).
Burgers during the meat cooking phase now display the proper keys if changed in the Key Binding menu.
Breakfast foods now properly award the correct flex buzz during the early morning hours.
Flex buzz (Morning Aroma) is now removed correctly at noon during rainy days.
Coffee is no longer ordered during Rush Hours (was glitched before).
Breakfast Sandwiches now correctly locks ingredients until the proper upgrades are purchased.
Audio loops (such as the deep fryer) playing after an event or day has been quit out are now properly stopped.
Added a tip in an email that you can practice robberies in the Practice Chores option of the Gallery/Tutorials menu.
Trading Cards are now live (does not require this patch, just an FYI)
KNOWN BUGS
(LINUX ONLY) Steam Cloud and Achievements are still not working. I will be working with the people who made the engine I'm using (GM Studio) and will try to have a solution as quickly as possible. I apologize for the trouble and achievements will still be saved and retroactively awarded once they're working.
Thanks everyone and I'll be updating the game as regularly as needed, so keep posting away in the forums! Thanks so much for a successful launch!
