Dirty Business Update 0.1.50 Overhauls Controls and Delivery Filtering

Update 0.1.50 for Dirty Business, published 21 August 2026, is developer Quatech's largest release in some time — the team notes they had been quiet while preparing it.

What changed

Control system overhaul The headline addition is a new input scheme. Players can now choose between two presets from the main menu's Settings screen:

• Modern — a new, simpler and more practical control layout
• Legacy — the original system, retained for those who prefer it

Switching between the two is unrestricted.

Order product filtering and delivery changes

• Boxed products can now be placed into Covert Delivery vehicle baskets
• Order product filtering and economy balancing added for Covert Delivery Operations
• Order product filtering and economy balancing added for Island Logistics (cartel airstrip)

UI The clock is now permanently visible on screen.

Bug fixes (selected)

• Co-op guest players no longer see workers freeze over time, a bug that also caused missing money and XP on completed orders
• A corrupted save entry that prevented saves from loading has been resolved
• Island deliveries now complete correctly while the player is in the pilot seat
• Typing in chat no longer triggers in-game actions
• Holding a full inventory and using an item now swaps rather than does nothing
• Several rare lockup conditions when handling boxes quickly or when two players grabbed the same box are addressed

For players engaged in co-op or the game's delivery operations, the fixes to worker freezing and save corruption alone make this a meaningful update to apply promptly.
