One More Lawn 1.0.1 Fixes: Low FPS and Stuck Mower

Check One More Lawn’s first patch for laptop GPU selection, empty-tank recovery, dismounting, audio and guest unlocks. Keep persistent bug reports specific.

One More Lawn Guide Desk · Reviewed · Public sources checked for 1.0.1

Update 1.0.1 addresses wrong-GPU selection on dual-GPU laptops, blocked dismounting, empty-tank recovery, PlayStation inputs, audio dropouts and co-op guest unlocks. Confirm the version first; a patch note does not guarantee every similar symptom has the same cause.

Start with the installed version

The 1.0.1 note says the version is shown again on the title screen and pause menu. Check it before applying advice written for the old demo. The developer says the demo received the same fixes, while the full game retains more content.

Symptom Developer’s 1.0.1 change Next check
Full game much slower than demo on a laptop Requests the stronger GPU from Windows Confirm version and which GPU is active
No room to get off here Dismounts at the nearest free spot Note location if still blocked
Empty fuel tank far from the can Mower can be dragged by hand in every level Move it toward an accessible refuel location
Circle dismounts / R2 triggers smoking PlayStation controller inputs corrected Review the actual bindings after updating
Guest misses next level Guests reaching 90% together unlock it too Record host/guest and threshold state
Audio crackles or drops while mowing Audio interruption fix Note output device and reproducible moment

These are official changes, not a tested root-cause diagnosis of your machine. Do not delete a save simply because an issue resembles a line in the table.

Low FPS: distinguish version and settings

The developer specifically describes players seeing around 90 FPS in the demo and 20 in the full game because the full game selected a weak GPU. Those numbers report the developer’s example, not a benchmark we reproduced.

The current demo announcement also describes Low, Medium and High presets and individual settings for shadows, grass density and distance, anti-aliasing, particles and an FPS cap. As an editorial troubleshooting step, change one setting at a time and compare the same yard and camera view. Check the official PC requirements before interpreting a demanding setting as a software fault.

Recover the mower and verify the job

For low fuel, use the new hand-drag option and bring the machine back to fuel access. For a dismount problem, the patch changes the exit position when the sides are blocked. The deck lever swinging or disappearing at low FPS is another named fix.

For a missing progression unlock, use the route and guest conditions. For a custom map’s completion counter or unsold bags, use Workshop rules; wild grass not counting is now a documented distinction.

Report what still happens

Use Found a bug? from the title or pause menu, or the Steam forum. Include the game version, full game or demo, map, host or guest role, hardware for performance problems, and the shortest repeatable sequence. Avoid posting account data or private session codes. This guide records the fixes and useful checks; it cannot promise recovery for every loading failure.
