After the new update released with no fix for the trident, we've decided to move Buffed Trident away from the Category Extensions board, and onto the main boards instead. Runs on the current version may now be submitted here. We are working on a solution to display base equip and other unaffected levels for 1.4+.

We've decided to temporarily allow downgrading to 1.3 for Any Equipment runs that utilize the Trident. In order to prove that you're on the correct version, submissions that downgrade will require opening the settings menu before the runs begins to display the version number in the bottom left corner. Submissions not doing this will risk rejection.

While we understand this isn't an ideal solution, especially for shorter levels, it is the best we can offer for the time being until a patch for the Trident is released. We will update with more info in the future when this measure is lifted.

The 1.4 update that came out on 31/08/2023 has made the Trident Nozzle a lot faster than before. We asked the PowerWash Simulator Community Manager whether this was intentional and have gotten confirmation that it was not intentional.

A fix for it is coming in the future, however we don't know when this fix will come out. It is possible that we are temporarily stuck with the buffed Trident for a little while depending on how long it takes.

Since the runs during this time are not going to be valid anymore once it gets fixed, we're going to have to ask to temporarily not submit Any Equipment runs, sorry for this. Base Equipment runs or any other run that does not use the Trident Nozzle (like the SpongeBob DLC) is still okay.

Depending on how long the fix might take to be released, we will look into options to be able to allow submissions again. Something we might consider is downgrading to version 1.3. We'll let everyone know as soon as we know more.

TL;DR - Runs on 1.4 use a buffed Trident won't be valid after a fix coming in the future. We're currently asking to pause run submissions. Sorry about this.
