Bakso Simulator 2 Version 2.1.4 Patch Notes
Version 2.1.4 marks the culmination of the v2.1 patch cycle, introducing performance optimizations for larger restaurants, additional language support for previously untranslated UI elements, and the first batch of community-requested features. This update targets long-term save stability for players who have progressed deep into Chapter 3 and beyond. This page covers every documented change from the official Steam announcement and verified player reports.
Performance and Stability
Players with fully expanded multi-floor restaurants reported frame drops during peak rush hours in v2.1.3. Version 2.1.4 optimizes NPC pathfinding calculations and reduces overdraw on decorative elements, resulting in smoother performance on mid-range hardware. Memory usage during extended play sessions now stabilizes rather than gradually increasing across in-game days.
Save file stability improved for progression beyond Chapter 3. Players who encountered corrupted saves after twelve-plus hours of gameplay should see significant improvement. Cloud save synchronization on Steam now properly handles the larger save file sizes from fully upgraded restaurants.
New Features
Added a daily summary report accessible from the tablet after closing shop. The report displays peak rush hours, most-sold recipes, and customer satisfaction trends — data previously available only through third-party tools. Shop rename functionality now supports special characters previously blocked by input validation.
Recipe favorites system lets you pin up to five recipes for quick access during service. Staff schedule presets allow one-touch assignment of trained employees to morning, afternoon, and evening shift templates. These additions reduce repetitive tablet navigation during the daily loop.
Balance Adjustments
Rank 4 cracker pricing adjusted to reflect the updated XP curve from v2.0.4. Each cracker now contributes approximately eight percent more profit margin per unit sold. S.O.R.O.B special skill unlock threshold reduced by approximately ten percent — fewer total drinks required to access the advanced ability tree.
Weather probability tables received minor refinement. Snow now reduces drink purchase rate to seventy percent instead of seventy-five, making S.O.R.O.B automation relatively more valuable during winter in-game periods. Weather duration remains one to three in-game days as documented in v2.0.3.
Bug Fixes and Polishing
Fixed rare crash when dismissing the patch notes pop-up on first launch after updating. Fixed customer tip animations not playing correctly after receiving change from exact-payment transactions. Fixed occasional text overlap in the Night Market vendor interface during evening sessions.
Fixed keyboard shortcut conflict between tablet quick-reorder and the PC placement mode undo function. Fixed painted decorations occasionally reverting to default appearance after shop relaunch — a visual-only bug that did not affect actual decoration ownership.
