We recently overhauled the CasinoRPG game client on Steam, and we've gotten some great feedback from you all since that update. Today's patch adds some fixes and quality of life improvements to the Steam version of the game. Here's to another great year of gaming in GoldFire City!

• Clicking images in private messages will now open them in your browser window at full resolution.

• Clicking links (such as to YouTube videos) in global chat will now open them in your browser.

• The fullscreen setting now gets persisted across sessions.

• When you are playing out of fullscreen, the window size and position will also get persisted.

• A few minor bugs and error fixes in Steam.

We really appreciate all of our Steam players and hope you enjoy these new enhancements to the experience. If you're enjoying the game, reviews are a huge help for a small indie team like us! And be sure to say hello over on Discord or in-game :)

While the game gets regular updates that are downloaded directly into the Steam client, the game's Steam client generally doesn't need to get updated builds. However, this game client hasn't been updated in quite some time due to various technical challenges (and the fact that it hasn't been all that necessary for most updates).

It was a bit of an adventure on it's own to re-build and modernize the game client for Steam, but we're excited to announce that this work is complete and the update is available now. This update isn't about in-game features (again, those are downloaded directly inside the application when launching the game), but it's an important update for all of our Steam players:

• Vastly newer rendering engine that provides performance and stability improvements.

• Improved cache handling for faster startup when launching the game (only after the first launch after updating).

• Your login details are now remembered so that you don't have to login again each time you launch the game in Steam.

• Emojis and non-standard characters commonly used for crew names now work on Linux and Steam Deck.

• Copy/paste should now work everywhere like it would in a browser.

• Various other minor bug fixes and enhancements.

We really appreciate all of our Steam players and hope you enjoy these new enhancements to the experience. If you're enjoying the game, reviews are a huge help for a small indie team like us! And be sure to say hello over on Discord or in-game :)

Patch notes for v1.7.19:

• FEATURE Added 12 new casino divider color options and 22 new lot divider color options.

• UPDATE Due to performance restrictions, rendering of pickups on party bomb floors have been reduced. However, this isn't as necessary as it once was, so the number of displayed pickups per tile on phones/tablets will now match what is displayed on desktops/laptops.

• UPDATE The party bomb ignite animation has been sped up so that you can drop consecutive bombs more quickly.

• UPDATE There's always been a 1-day grace period each month before losing your consecutive days streak, but this is now increased to 2 days for streaks of 180+ and 3 days for streaks of 500+. This grace period now also resets at the start of each month instead of on a rolling 30 day basis, which helps avoid some rare instances that could cause an unintended reset of your streak.

• UPDATE The Android app has been updated to support all of the latest Android features (it's currently in review, so it could be a few days before you can download the updated app).

• FIX Edge case where the monthly casino profit leaderboard value wouldn't calculate correctly for a player that returns to the game shortly after their casinos sell in foreclosure auctions.

• FIX A few server errors that would cause random bugs.

• FIX Minor performance tuning on the server.

FEATURE Added 6 new Light Wall item colors, a white option for the Holo-Wall and 4 new Cryo Chamber color options. FEATURE Added option to the Vault tab in the editor to display all item break counts similar to the function to show all item upgrades.

FIX Items dropped from a bomb could sometimes get stuck in the corner of a floor, preventing anyone from picking them up. FIX The Slots Addict mission would fail to complete if you won the exact amount of chips needed in a single spin. FIX Various client errors that could cause minor issues. FIX A few server errors that could have caused disconnects.
