Schedule I Open Beta v0.4.4 Adds Dynamic Weather and Expanded Warehouse Limits
Schedule I open beta v0.4.4 introduces a brand-new weather system with rain bonuses, umbrella props, and police patrol updates. Warehouse workers also get a capacity boost.
Open beta participants in Schedule I can experience dynamic weather conditions, updated police patrols, and an increased warehouse worker limit. Version v0.4.4 lays down foundational tech while introducing new gameplay modifiers tied to the environment.
New Weather System and Rainy Bonuses
A weather system brings clear skies, overcast days, fog, light rain, heavy rain, and lightning to the game world. Completing deals during rainy conditions grants a rainy bonus. NPCs can use umbrellas, and players can trigger or control weather patterns using console commands like 'setweather' and 'triggerlightning'.
Police Behavior and Warehouse Adjustments
Police patrols feature additional sentry locations, and officers alternate between two distinct spots during their sentry routines. Officers will also no longer tase players who are within standard arrest distance. For business operations, the warehouse worker limit has been raised from 10 to 12 employees, and employee pathfinding around pots has been improved.
Technical Overhauls and Fixes
Core systems have started moving into a separate assembly, accompanied by refactored audio and a rebuilt day-night cycle. The update addresses multiple visual glitches, including avatar shape keys failing on higher LOD meshes, double fog application, and missing trees in the prologue. Frame spikes during initial vehicle pathfinding calculations have also been resolved.
Why this patch matters
Version v0.4.4 brings systemic depth with weather effects and quality-of-life adjustments, though it remains an open beta focused on technical foundation.
