I changed the itch page to make payments optional so if you want to download the installers for free go for it and send me any comments you have! 🙂 ![2021-07-24 08_07_55-Home - Steamworks](https://forum-defold-uploads.b-cdn.net/original/3X/e/6/e6ff7132453cb2347ef49f5f270d90f76afc94c0.png) Steam appid is paid for and will be setup in the future. The store page has to be coming soon 2 weeks before I can release, and it takes a while to review so it won’t be going live ASAP but on the other hand it will benefit from a few more updates before releasing there. I’m going to be testing IAP for the first time, though I may do DLC instead for Thank the Devs thing. ---

Good luck! Can you go into your reasoning behind your monetisation model a bit more? Is this the way you think it will be most profitable, or are there alternative considerations at play here? ---

At the moment I plan to add paid DLC for meta game content that is paid only. But this will only happen if the base game gets popular enough. I don’t really expect BK to make any meaningful money in the short term (especially without having ads, though for mobile and web I won’t market it as ad free because eventually I might enable them), but long term see it as a possible loss leader to promote other bigger games. ---

Web profiler doesn’t show anything strange, and it uses only about 11 drawcalls on the game screen. I have ad networks loaded in JS but don’t have any ads playing right now, maybe they are causing it? ![2021-07-25 09_02_11-Big Klondike - Classic Solitaire](https://forum-defold-uploads.b-cdn.net/original/3X/8/f/8f1714c2f44ae042fd8640fdcd0c2ce332cb703d.png) ---

Usually I use the following settings: ![image](https://forum-defold-uploads.b-cdn.net/original/3X/8/8/88def729d61abefd5e9ce148ac81a4ad8f318639.png) Maybe it worth to try. ---

> [@Pkeod](#): > > . I have ad networks loaded in JS but don’t have any ads playing right now, maybe they are causing it? 🤷‍♂️ I don’t know why.The game control also feels slow. Card movements looks like 20 fps. UPD: CPU drops usage to 20% and fan drop down speed if I reduce html window size to minimal. (From full HD) ---

> [@Pkeod](#): > > You may need to hold shift while reloading to force new version to load. I’ll try, but I don’t see the difference yet.

Did it work before? If you press F12 and look in the source of the parent iframe it should say it’s on version /8/ on the cdn. What’s your GPU? ---

CPU usage drops, fan fell silent. Thanks to @AGulev! GPU is GTX 1060. “Begin new game” button not work only in “incognito” Chrome mode. In normal mode works ok, I done solitaire party. ---

Oh, that’s weird! I just tested in Chrome incognito and “Begin new Game” also doesn’t work for me. I will check debug build. 🧐 If I had to guess it would be the sys.save() breaking? Yep. I’ll try to work around it with a monkey patch maybe. ![2021-07-25 10_09_12-Big Klondike - Classic Solitaire 1.1.0](https://defold-forum-bucket.nbg1.your-objectstorage.com/original/3X/b/e/be26a1ea5ee3d1ee50993074c47b24c65891f4d8.png) ---

/9/ is up now, it should work incognito, could you verify? > [Big Klondike - Classic Solitaire](https://www.pixcade.com/big-klondike/) The patch… which strangely enough seems to actually allow the storage to work without any errors when it’s done in a pcall? 🤔 ```lua local sys_save_actual = sys.save sys.save = function(filename, table) local success, error_message = pcall(sys_save_actual, filename, table) if success then return true else pprint(error_message) return false end end ``` ---

Pressed the button today. BK is officially released on Steam!

Nice work on the winnable-shuffle bot. I was spurred into leaving you a review because the negative one you received was so stupid. “This simple solitaire game is just a simple solitaire game!” 🤯 [Next page](https://forum.defold.com/t/big-klondike/68925.md?page=2)
