Performance Improvements on Older Computers
Having performance issues with an older computer? This may be due to the engine rendering: try this, Shift+G, then select a different rendering method. Restart the game and see if that fixes it!
What if I've already played Cooking Companions?
Play through Chompettes Origins and go through Nightmare Mode and NG+: content has been added to everything past a fresh "normal" playthrough!
I'm getting an error message when I try a new game!
With internal testing: we discovered there is a chance your older save files are causing an issue with the update. There are two ways to fix this:
1) Open Steam 2) Go into the Library tab 3) Right-click Cooking Companions 4) Go to Manage > Browse Local Files 5) Go back to the previous folder (the folder that showed when you pressed "Browse local files" on Steam) 6) Select all the content inside this folder and delete it 7) Go back to your Steam Library 8) Right-click over Cooking Companions; 9) Manage > Uninstall to uninstall your game 10) Install the game again
OR uninstall Cooking Companions and delete the folder at Program Files>Steam>steamapps>common>Cooking Companions
