PieClicker

Update to fix issues with the empire upgrade and Pies turning into NaN or undefined values. If problems persist please continue to report them! Thank you all for your continued support!

Hey everyone! I know this is a long announcement so feel free to skip to the bottom but READ THE BOLD. I've been looking into improving PieClicker a lot recently, including changes that would finally enable the Steam overlay in more capacity. Another thing I really want to do is add Linux support since Windows 10 support will be ending in 2025. The underlying technology PieClicker was built on is great and works decently for Windows, unfortunately that's just not what I need anymore. In order to move forward and preserve all the game save files you guys have made, I've pushed out an update that will start to integrate a new file save system. I fully plan on supporting all features in future Windows and Linux compatible versions. So you'll still be able to get Steam achievements. :) In order to make sure your save gets preserved in the transfer make sure you open the game at least once in the next 6 months. That's it. All you need to do is make sure you open the game and let the main menu load. Then you should be good! One more slightly technical detail, due to the location the new save files are stored in, cloud syncs might take slightly longer than usual. To repeat: If you don't want your save data deleted all you need to do is open the game until the main menu loads ONCE in the next 6 months. I'll be happy to answer any additional questions. - kgsensei

This update doesn't bring any serious changes to game play, it's mostly a performance and background systems update. I want the game to be in a better state for future content updates, especially since PieClicker's Steam anniversary is next month. Anyway, here's what changed: - Removed last traces of mod support - Reworked how the game launches to be more smooth, ex. no white screen flashing randomly - Updated all of the code libraries to latest versions - Changed underlying rendering engine, this should help with Steam overlay issues, when testing I got notifications to show up in the game, this also lowered the overall size of the game slightly - Verified that the max master chef upgrade achievement is 100% working again, hotfix will remain in place until next month for anyone who missed it - Massively improved performance on upgrade purchase animations Edit because I forgot another major change: - I seriously reduced the number of files that Steam saves in the cloud, this will not affect your saved games at all but it will make future cloud syncs a lot faster, the first one will probably take a minute to process all the changes but everything after that should be much faster - I probably reduced the number of files saved (on average) from 300 -> 8 Since there are some pretty groundbreaking changes here I'm anticipating some bugs here and there, small stuff that I missed in testing ykyk. I'll be keeping an eye on things and issuing patches as needed.
