Schedule 1 has just dropped its Halloween update. It marks the latest step in developer Tyler’s steady rollout of patches since the March release. However, version 0.4.1 does not add any seasonal content despite the title of the update. It focuses on bringing new navigation features and optimization changes.
Also, this patch drop was supposed to happen earlier until the creator changed his mind.
“Sorry, this update is a couple of days late – I was originally planning on skipping the open beta and going straight to full release,” Tyler said, explaining his first plan. However, he later decided to give players the time for beta testing to ensure stability.
New Navigation Features in Schedule 1
As per the TVGS announcement, players can now try the new sewer system. It is located under the city. In particular, this gives another way of going around the Hyland Point. Plus, it helps in traveling while avoiding police and cartel members. However, the sewer system comes with its own challenges and risks. For instance, players will need a sewer access key to get down there. Likewise, there are two new NPCs. Specifically, they will encounter the sewer king and sewer goblin.
At the same time, the Halloween update brings enhanced vertical navigation. The game now has a ladder system. It enables greater vertical mobility across the map. Players can find them in the sewers and on many buildings around the city. This addition opens up more creative ways for evading enemies and exploring new areas.
Improvements and Bug Fixes
Tyler also highlighted that the update includes many improvements. Generally, the optimizations aim to boost frame rates by 10% to 15 %. The tweaks focus on environmental effects and excess calculations.
In the same way, there are many bug fixes. These resolve issues with pickpocketing, item slot filters, duplicate GUIDs, police global vision events, and many more.
Availability
Version 0.4.1 of Schedule 1 is now live in the game for all players. For the full patch notes, visit its official Steam page.
Looking Ahead
Many times before, the developer has said his intent to release updates more often. Now, he has promised to drop another patch before the Shrooms update. He said the next version will further fix connection issues in the multiplayer mode. It will be his focus for the following weeks. So, fans should expect it anytime soon.
Schedule 1 is still on a roll since its successful launch, making millions in revenue.
