Hey everyone!

The best place to report bugs is on our Discord: https://discord.com/invite/powerwashsimulator

You can also leave a report in the report a problem section, whilst we collect data we're unable to respond to all of them. For major and under investigation issues plus their potential workarounds see below.

1.1 known issues:

Contrast is way too high on HDR display:

How to fix HDR displaying incorrectly - disable HDR on your monitor and in your windows settings and restart the game. This should remove the odd HDR over contrast look.

Offline play not working on Steam:

Hey all, we've been able to reproduce this issue with our QA, and we'll be investigating a fix.

Unfortunately, the only workaround is to go online, at least to load into the game. This isn't acceptable, so sorry to everyone for the inconvenience in the meantime.

Special Free Play Missing Some Equipment:

Hey all, we're aware that the Special Free Play doesn't have the correct equipment. It should be everything you own in the main career mode + the equipment given for the TR jobs in its career mode. Currently, all career equipment is missing. We'll be looking to fix it, sorry!

Freezing/Stuttering making aim jump:

First of all try turning off autosave to see if this resolves the issue. If not, here are some extra steps that may help - Main step: Turn off the VSync settings in the game's Graphics Settings

Step 2: If you don't get a stable FPS at 60 (i.e it drops to 45/30), also set your target FPS to 60.

Slow Walking Bug

We're aware there's also a bug affecting some players making the walk too slow. We're still investigating this one, and are trying to collect as many save files on our Discord as possible to work out the issue.

New Reset Tool To Help With Save Corruption

We have added a reset button, that you can use at any time to reset in-progress subtasks on that level, tasks that are fully completed will not reset. In the main menu whilst in a job it is the symbol with the arrows.

This is a new tool to workaround save corruption issues that may effect your ability to complete a level and can resolve incorrect wash progress display has been added. It will also reduce multiplayer load time by reducing file sizes. So if you are having issues connecting to a friend it may also help.

Other known issues:

Level is super bright (Fariground Zone):

Some systems aren't processing HDR correctly, if you go into the graphics options and uncheck HDR this should fix the sun looking like it will cook the land. We are currently investigating.

Mouse/cursor acting oddly:

Unplug every input device you have that isn't your mouse and keyboard which could include: a racing wheel, shifter, button box, etc. then restart your computer.


Scaffolding Abyss Yeet:
You can still boop yourself out of bounds using the scaffolding. I hope that’s the last time we write that. We’ve added some kill boxes to catch and respawn you, but depending on the velocity we just discovered that you may bypass them. We weren't factoring in that you enter velocities similar to a certain blue hedgehog.

Multiplayer

Long load In-Progress Multiplayer:
If a number of players are washing a larger job and a new client attempts to join it can take a very long time or even cause a time out. We'll be working on improving this.

Timelapse Long Load:
The timelapse is shared from the host to the clients at the end of a job. It can be quite a lengthy process to download it even with fast connections which we’re investigating. It should be OK for the Host to move on to the next job if you don’t want to wait for it.
