Schedule I developer Tyler has released the highly anticipated 0.3.4 update for all players following a brief testing phase, with detailed patch notes now available on Steam. This update marks the first major content expansion for the viral hit drug dealer simulator, which initially launched to overwhelming success on Steam in early access on March 24.
In a Steam post, Tyler apologized for the delay in the update's release, stating, "I'm still ironing out the update/testing process." He reassured players that future updates would run more smoothly and on schedule, with plans for larger monthly updates starting next month.
Looking ahead, Tyler's primary focus is on resolving remaining bugs, which he listed as top priorities:
- Ensuring employees work consistently and without issues.
- Preventing save game corruption or loss. Tyler has collaborated with Valve to enhance the save file format, making it more compatible with Steam Cloud saves and less susceptible to corruption.
- Reducing disconnections and loading problems in multiplayer.
Additionally, Tyler aims to improve the game's optimization and is working towards obtaining Steam Deck verification, using it as a performance benchmark.
