when will the hallowen update be released in the game?

The update was already done, but it doesn’t go live within the game until the month is October (which in a few hours will be true everywhere)

It’ll be a few hours for you before it activates (in October)

Hey, a little late to the party here. I have not encountered the black screen error, but I am not seeing any halloween decorations, anyone else getting some decorations?
I am seeing the new bodies though.

No booty...

The content is probably live now unless you're playing in one of the few timezones still in September.

I cant get them either. I even uninstalled and reinstalled the game and deleted my data.

For missing seasonal content, I would try and go through this list to identify something:

1. If you continue an existing shift, it may not be activated, try New Shift instead.
2. Make sure in the game options that Seasonal Content is enabled, then try New Shift again.
3. Make sure your computer's system clock has the right date/time; it needs to be October. Restart the game if you're still in it and use New Shift again.
4. Check/find your 'level4' file and make sure (for update .51) it is showing 3150456 bytes in size **
5. Relaunch the game, do a New Shift, walk into the mortuary reception lobby, then quit the game. Now find your Player.log file *** and zip it up and provide it to DreadXP on their discord server in the #mortuary-bugs-and-feedback channel, and state the issue you are having and what you have tried (e.g. above). The link to their discord server is in the patch/update notes here on Steam.

** level4 file - note you may have installed the game to a different location depending on where your steam library is kept:

*** Player.log file
This file is only created for the most recent patch updates of the game, it may not get updated or used in later patches. You can find it at the same place as your save game files, in the folder - you can copy/paste this path including the % symbols into a Windows Explorer address bar to get to the folder.


Hope this helps lead you to a solution.

Unless I am doing something incorrect or need to restart the game for it to take effect, the option to toggle "story events" does nothing ??

1. Start The Mortuary Assistant, or if already in a game and playing, bring up the Pause menu (Esc) and click Exit to go back to the main menu.
2. Set the options you want.
3. Click 'Close'.
4. Click 'New Shift'.
5. Click 'Start Shift' in the popup that appears.

If instead you use Continue and it's not at the point a new shift starts, the game will not only ignore the settings you just changed, but may actually read the saved values back in from your shift and put them back into the options again (I had this one time, not sure exactly how).

I just played a round with the Story Events off to confirm it is doing something. The story event for the body I was embalming did not play out, but I was still able to collect the next Sigil using the Letting Strip.

So as long as the steps above are followed, it should work.

Thanks so much again for my reply, I appreciate it and am going to see for myself now, hahaha !!

Just followed your steps exactly, started a news shift and the story-line still follows with doors opening and scares, didn't seem to stop the story-line, I think I may be misunderstanding what this option is supposed to do. Does it halt the progression or halt the scares or both?
