Update 1.1.0 Patch Notes



New timing system and Leaderboard reset


This update introduces a new timing system with 3 decimal places. The previous system was unprecise and caused a lot of similar times to show up in the top 10 leaderboards.
Unfortunately, due to this change, we had to reset the public leaderboards and also remove local records and medal times.

The old version with the old timing system is now available as a beta so you can still view your previous leaderboard times or check your medals.
To access the old version, go to your Steam Library, right click Vacuum Pilot, go to "Betas" and select "legacy".

The legacy version cannot run workshop levels or access online features like multiplayer or leaderboard upload.

Additional changes



  • Performance improvements
  • Bug fixes
  • Localization improvements

Performance Hotfix

Hey there!

Some players have reported performance issues and stuttering while playing the game.
After investigation, we were able to optimize several systems which should noticeably improve the performance and hopefully fix those stuttering issues.

Please let us know if you still experience stuttering or other performance issues after this patch.
