New things, better things, and bunch of fixed things.

It may have seemed quiet, but behind the scenes we’ve been neck-deep in These Sunny Daze DLC's guts, tracing bottlenecks, unclogging blockages and putting together[b] a plan to get things flowing right.[/b]

This update brings only the small, first wave of improvements

[b] - [/b]a starter patch that kicks off a[b] two-part plan to boost performance.[/b]

The next one is already in the works. And while we were down there, we just couldn’t resist sneaking in [b]some new stuff[/b] too.

So what's new?

• [b]New tropical arena map[/b] available in Survival Mode [b](for P:TSD owners only)[/b]

• [b]Brand-new alt-fire[/b] for UrAnisum Syringe (let’s just say it’s not exactly subtle)

• [b]The sewers in Erection Day[/b] have been [b]rebuilt and improved[/b], based on a blueprint straight from your feedback. New routes, same stench. Go see how it flows now!

And speaking of the flow...

[b]This update is the first, smaller part of a two-stage process of improving P:TSD’s performance.[/b]

It’s taking time, we know, but we didn’t want to just slap duct tape on the surface. We chose to dig deeper, hunt down the actual causes and fix things at its source.

Some areas are already running a lot smoother, so instead of making you wait for the whole thing,

we’re dropping [b]a small batch of fixes[/b] today.

[b]We know this isn’t the whole deal.[/b] Right now we’re going after the rougher spots and making sure things run better on lower-end rigs too.

You can expect [b]the second patch[/b] to drop before the end of December!

Here's the changes in motion:
