  Mac Performance Update and DNS Fallback

  A new build has been pushed for Windows and Mac users. For Mac users, this should significantly drop the CPU usage across all sections of the game. For Mac and Windows users, this update adds a DNS fallback for users who may be on networks where the game's domain name (idlehacking.com) may trigger filtering due to the word "Hacking". If the game detects a connection failure due to a DNS resolution failure, it will attempt a fallback to ih.gigaforge.com instead.

  New Player Enhancements and Continued UI Updates

  New Player Tutorial/Goals UpdateToday we have launched an overhaul to the tutorial system with the goal of helping new players navigate the game's various systems. Instead of the tutorials mostly being a screen takeover that point the player to various menus and aspects of the game all at once, they now take the form of a series of short goals, each one tackling a single aspect and providing a more guided experience.This culminates in the introduction to the item enhancement system, which is where the bulk of the strategy and planning takes place in the game. The new goals system will provide the player with the resources and direction to interact with item enhancement much earlier, no longer being gated behind hitting certain levels. Players can tackle the goals as slowly or as quickly as they want.UI UpdatesWe've added more controls to the game related to Marketplace items, allowing quicker removal/decompiling. Additionally some of the alternative themes have had fixes to their readability. Syndicates also now display the join dates for each member.The mobile version of the game (accessible by any mobile browser at https://www.idlehacking.com) now has full integration with the new player tutorial system, further bringing the mobile experience to parity with the full desktop client/browser experience.Item Enhancement now has more visual feedback when performing Version Upgrades, making it clear when an attempt succeeds, fails, or fails but doesn't consume stability thanks to the Snapshot Backup Homelab upgrade.

  DNS Fix for Certain DNS Resolvers (Such as 1.1.1.3 from Cloudflare)

  We recently helped a user who had issues connecting to the server even though we've had 100% uptime in recent weeks. After going back and forth, we narrowed this problem to the use of a filtered DNS resolver (in this case, 1.1.1.3, Cloudflare's "family friendly" DNS). Apparently the word "hacking" in our domain name was triggering this filter, which was likely the case for another user who claimed their ISP had a parental lock interfering with accessing our game. This update embeds a fallback IP address to hopefully allow users to access the game without having to tinker with DNS or ISP keyword blocks.

  Homelab Update

  Homelab Update is Live!Today we've launched the largest upgrade system to the game to date, featuring 8 categories and 32 unique upgrade types. The nature of the Homelab system is it involves a steady flow of upgrade power, and doesn't allow a player to simply spend currency for instant results. It requires time for upgrades to unlock and improve, and there is no way to pay to force them to complete faster.New upgrades are revealed as you level up your Homelab by installing new components and upgrading the aspects of each section. These upgrades include unique new effects, mostly tailored around defensive mechanics. You will eventually find upgrades that can reduce enemy critical hit chance/damage, the ability to stun enemies for a round, and even the ability to preserve part of your win streak after you lose.This system will continue to get expanded over time, as it provides a strong base to add unique new effects that can affect hacking, gathering, and community events.
