Hi! We're publishing Official Patch 1.1 for the Junkyard Simulator.
Patch 1.1 includes the following fixes: - Crashes related to new generation INTEL processors are GONE - We got rid of all known 'edge case' crashes - The game optimization is improved - With the new patch, the game shouldn't take so much space on your disks - We improved graphics and texture reading - With the visual fixes, the game should finally feel smooth - Image should be much sharper now - Many other aspects related to the visual side of the game have been improved - come and see!
Be sure to let us know what you think! 🙂
We know that you've waited quite a bit for this update. Thank you for your patience and understanding! Patch 1.1 consumed A LOT of work and time, but it laid proper foundations for future improvements and new updates will be released more frequently.
Last but not least - we know that you must be curious what's brewing next, so here's a little teaser: the next update will include an option to modify key settings (yes, finally!) and also some NEW mechanics. What mechanics are those? For now, we are not revealing the secret, but keep your eyes open, perhaps we'll drop some info in some time.
The Next big Patch will be available soon. Keep your fingers crossed!

1.2.07.03 Hotfix #3
We just published 3rd part of the hotfix to the Junkyard Simulator.
We added a new tag system by expanding the functionality of the compass. From now compass is as much significant as the minimap. Maybe we can replace the minimap with the compass? Let us know what do you think about the change.
Tag system will help you in locating quest objects and additional tasks. They are nicely animated, so it should be more noticeable for everybody.
You can move your character while crouching. We were afraid of this connection and possible player blocks. If you experience this, reset your character in the Pause Menu.
Remember, autosave works when you're outside of a vehicle only. If you drive or work for a long time in a machine - please get out of it for a few seconds, the game will make autosave, and you will not lose your progress.
We're still fixing the issue with leaving a game screen by a mouse cursor. We just added some additional improvements. Let us know if it's solving the problem.
Fixed another issue with the AZERTY keyboard. This time we repaired camera control keys: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7] for player, small and big Crushers [& é " ' ( - è _ ç à]
We continue to do frequent updates to the Junkyard Simulator. More will come just in a few days. We're waiting for your feedback!
