Thank you so much for participating in our Christmas event! We managed to give away gifts - we believe that each of the winners is satisfied!🏔️

Unfortunately, our Santa messed up a bit in the game files, so you may have the impression that driving vehicles is sometimes difficult. On the other hand, we promise to do what we can to fix this as soon as possible. Here a dose of our work:

For now, before the update comes out, we encourage you to use this interim method to make driving easier:

Thank you very much for your forbearance in Early Access💗. We guarantee that we will try to fix this as well as other bugs as soon as we can, even before the full release of the game.

Of course, we also have a list with bugs in excel that you report:
They will also be repaired soon.

Love You
SPS Team

Our Santa is not very clever - he loses presents that fall out of his sleigh. Your task is to find them. If you manage to find them all, you will be rewarded!

How does the event work? I will describe it to you in a few steps:
1. You can collect gifts from 19 to 31 December. They will appear one per day from 19 to 24 December, so there will be 6 in total.
2. Santa will appear on 25 December. You will be able to talk to him until 31 December to collect your prize.
3. Gifts appear on the map - they are marked with a gift. You may occasionally have to dig them out by using a shovel!
4. Is it possible to collect presents on, say, 31 December and meet Santa then?
Of course, yes. Then there will simply be 6 gifts marked, which you can collect in one go. Then you will also be able to talk to Santa right away.
5. What presents can you get?
For now we are not revealing, but in our opinion the gift will be cool!
6. From 1 January the event will no longer be available.
7. Does time count? For example, if I talk to Santa on the 25th of December, instead of the 31st?
No. We know that you may have less time through the festive period, so this is not counted in any way. All that matters is that you complete the event by 31 December.


Let us know how you like the updateːsteamthumbsupː
We fixed small bugs with cars and NPC too.

Merry Christmas!🎅

How to support Snow Plowing Simulator?
The easiest way is to share your opinion of our game with others on Steam or among your friends. Thank you very much💝

Thank you so much for your support during the Steam Awards. We got a lot of reviews from you which allowed us to achieve this result:
Not so long ago, we wouldn't have thought such a result was achievable. It's all thanks to your feedback, which has allowed us to improve bugs, optimisation and add some interesting new features (bigger snow blower, big truck, etc.).

However, we are now entering a phase where we need to determine the direction we want to take the game in - and this is where we need your help.

🏔️We have prepared a survey especially for this occasionːtheplanetː

ːsteamthisːːsteamthisːːsteamthisː

We encourage you to complete the survey. Based on the results and your suggestions, we will move the game in a certain direction! We would be grateful for any of your responses.

FAQ
1. Do I have to answer every question?
Open questions are not necessary to answer - you can leave your answer blank. As for closed questions - if you don't have an opinion on a topic, just tick ‘neutral/no opinion'
2. How long does the survey take?
The survey can be completed in about 10 minutes. The progress shown with completion is indicated in the bar at the bottom of the survey.
3. Will the results of the survey be published?
We plan to make the statistics available after the survey is finished :)
4. Until when will the survey be open?
We plan to be able to complete it by the end of the year. If possible, please try to complete it as soon as possible. Thank you!
5. When will be next update?
There will be an update on December 19.

Thank you very much💗

1. Changing from DirectX12 to DirectX11👨‍💻
Changing to DirectX11 allows for a drastic reduction of stuttering in Snow Plowing. There should no longer be random FPS drops when moving/driving a car (after changing DirectX12 to DirextX11, remember to click save and do a game relog!)
2. Snow track accuracy⛄️🌨️
You can change this value from 1 to 20. 1 - the most frequent, default refresh rate, 20 - the rarest. The closer you get to 20, the more FPS you will have. My advice is to change from 1 to 4 to start with and see the difference in FPS (we tested it on a couple of computers and the difference is big, sometimes as much as 50% more FPS with options closer to 20), then calibrate the frequency to your preference. (Note - at option 20, due to the infrequent refresh rate, the snow may look a little strange, while the gameplay will be smoothest)

The game will save itself every time you leave the property or leave the road which is a snow plowing mission. The option will be indicated by the autosave sign at the top of the screen.

You can still save from game menu (I recommend doing so at least at the end of a session in Snow Plowing, due to the fact that you may, for example, buy an tool, want to exit the game but do not exit the garage and 'auto-save' does not appear - in which case the latter action will not be saved) or on white board in HUB

From now on, if you encounter a bug, you can immediately report it to us via the game by sending an additional save! (We also recommend that you put your e-mail address in the ‘write back’ field, which will allow us to fix your save if a bug is preventing you from continuing the game in some way🕵).
You can of course also report your ideas via this option🛠️
We have improved the save system. You will have to wait a while longer before entering the game for the first time, but this will reduce your save. Some players used to have 250 megabytes in their save folder, now it will be around 50 megabytes. Your saves should load faster.

❗️Remember - Snow Plowing is still in Early Access. Gameplay errors can happen! Therefore, we look forward to your feedback. Most bugs are being fixed thanks to your reports❗️

Unfortunately, despite several days of hard work, we were unable to find the cause of the levitation of some vehicles:
It must be some old Atlantean inhabitant messing with the code, some yet undiscovered Yeti!

But we are providing a cure for this anomaly. It is this latest patchːthebuilderː
If you encounter such an error - exit the game, restart it and load the save - this fixes the problem.

If you still encounter such a levitating vehicle - please write to us under what specific circumstances it appeared - what I was doing and in what order before it happened - this will help us find the cause!



We would like to say a big thank you to the players ЭН, Import and ZwoLsky on Discord who reported these bugs to us.

We intend to publish a milestone optimisation update in the very near future. Stay tuned!
