They should now change state reliably when events occur.Shader compile information On first launches (or when shaders are compiling), players will now get clearer feedback that shaders are being prepared in the background, so initial stutters are easier to understand.New FPS limit option Added an FPS Limit setting to the options menu so you can better control performance, temps, and power usage based on your system.⚙️ Performance & StabilityGeneral performance optimizations in busy areas and shops to reduce small hiccups and improve overall smoothness.Minor background improvements to reduce unnecessary CPU usage in certain situations.Various small bug fixes and stability tweaks based on your reports.As always, thank you for playing Business Simulator 2026 and for all the reports, ideas, and reviews you’ve been sharing.
