Bug Cleaners fixes and known issues
If tools or the cat vanish, press J to teleport all tools back to the truck; if you are stuck, use the unstuck button (it returns you to the start). Report real bugs on the Steam forums or the official Discord.
Bug Cleaners launched into Early Access, so it has the expected rough edges — and dicehit has been unusually open about them, shipping workarounds before permanent fixes. If something breaks mid-job, the odds are good that a workaround already exists.
Quick fixes
| Symptom | Fix | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Tools or the cat disappeared | Press J — the tool reset teleports all tools back to the truck | Official August patch |
| Stuck in geometry | Press O (unstuck) — it returns you to the starting point of the level | Official August patch |
| Left click stops working mid-job | Drop and re-pick the tool, then reset with J if it persists; report it | Player reports, demo period |
| The cat fell through the floor | Rebuilt from scratch in the September update; press J if she still vanishes | Official September patch |
| Tools fall through the map when dropped | Known physics bug; keep valuables in inventory slots and press J if one is lost | Player reports |
| Dirty clothes will not pick up | Brush them first, then collect with a laundry basket — intended behaviour | Player reports |
| Missions not counting correctly | Fixed in the September update | Official September patch |
| Huge save or install folder | Fixed — a continuously recorded log bloated file sizes and was patched in August | Official August patch |
| Stuttering and low frame rate | Improved by roughly 50% in the September update; the team says more optimisation is coming | Official September patch |
Where to report real bugs
dicehit's launch post asked players to report any actual "bugs" — their quotation marks — through two official channels:
- Steam discussions. The community hub for the game, where the team reads and replies.
- The official Discord server, linked from the store page.
An in-game feedback form in the current build feeds the same pipeline. Reports that name the map, what you were carrying and what you had just done get answered fastest.
Known issues that are not bugs
- The demo is gone. Its removal was a decision, not a fault, and players asking "where did the demo go?" are seeing the intended state.
- You cannot heal. No healing items exist. Respawning at the truck is the recovery mechanic.
- Nests do not die to the blowtorch. Intended: only the sprayer destroys nests.
- Items dropped by teammates vanish. That is usually trolling rather than desync. Check who you are playing with.
When the game breaks in a way this page does not cover
Write down the map, the objective count and what you were carrying before restarting. Early Access patch notes are written directly from reports like that — the August and September patches read like a list of exactly this kind of player feedback.
FAQ
How do I fix disappearing tools in Bug Cleaners?
Press the J key. Tool reset teleports every tool back to the truck so you can pick them up again without restarting the level.
What do I do if I get stuck in Bug Cleaners?
Use the unstuck button, bound to O by default. Since the August patch it returns you to the starting point of the level, which reliably resolves being trapped.
Where do I report Bug Cleaners bugs?
Through the Steam discussions for the game or the official Discord server linked from the store page — the two channels the developers asked players to use.
