Track known bugs and find workarounds for common problems.
Deep Blue Sushi is in Early Access, which means some bugs and issues are expected. This page tracks known issues and provides workarounds where available.

Current Known Issues
Performance Issues
Some players may experience frame rate drops in busy restaurant scenes with many customers. This is being actively optimized by the development team. Try lowering graphics settings if you experience performance issues, particularly during peak service hours when the restaurant is full of customers. The developers are working on optimizing the rendering pipeline to improve performance across all hardware configurations.
Multiplayer Connectivity
Occasional disconnections may occur during co-op sessions, especially with unstable internet connections. The developers are working on improving multiplayer stability and have identified several causes of disconnections. If you experience frequent disconnects, try hosting with a wired connection and ensure all players have stable internet connections. The development team is implementing better reconnection handling and network synchronization improvements.
Animation Glitches
Some character animations may not play correctly in certain situations. These are cosmetic issues that do not affect gameplay and will be addressed in future updates. The animation team is reviewing all character animations and fixing any issues that cause visual glitches during gameplay.
UI Scaling
On some display configurations, UI elements may not scale properly. This is being investigated and will be fixed in an upcoming patch. The developers are working on improving the UI scaling system to support a wider range of display resolutions and aspect ratios.
Audio Issues
Some players have reported audio glitches or missing sound effects during gameplay. The audio team is investigating these issues and working on fixes. If you experience audio problems, try restarting the game or verifying your game files through Steam.
