Vacation Cafe Simulator 0.14.11 Patches Winery, Co-op, and Core Café Systems

Update 0.14.11 for Vacation Cafe Simulator is now live, delivering fixes across general café mechanics, the Winery, the UI, and co-op play.

What changed

General

  • Recipe book prices now sync with actual config values rather than displaying mismatched figures.
  • Players can disassemble an order package if that order has been cancelled.
  • A bug preventing delivery order disassembly in multiplayer has been resolved.
  • The BuyCart quest objective now counts correctly during multi-purchase actions.
  • Dirt on tables can once again be wiped off.
  • Glasses remain on the table when a drink is poured.
  • Two wine glasses have been relocated to the dresser.
  • The coffee-grinding hint text has been corrected.
  • The Grade 3 cutting machine has been refined.
  • Errors in the Margherita Pizza cooking mini-game have been fixed.

Winery

  • FPS drops inside the Winery have been addressed.
  • A misattributed progress bar from a separate wine press no longer appears incorrectly.
  • The progress bar disappears once the wine press is fully filled.
  • Wine now fills bottles correctly when poured from the barrel.
  • An issue with adding grapes to the wine press has been fixed.

UI & Interface

  • Recipe diagrams in the Recipe Book have been corrected.
  • A UI crash triggered when selling items from the building inventory has been resolved.

Co-op / Multiplayer

  • XP is now correctly awarded for dishwasher actions in co-op mode.

The developer notes that existing save progress will not be reset when updating to version 0.14, which should ease the transition for players mid-run.
