Patch Notes - September 5th, 2023

[A New Horizon]

https://www.reddit.com/r/TXChainSawGame/comments/169xsa1/patch_notes_september_5th_2023/

We have a rapid patch incoming early tomorrow (Eastern US time), September 5th, 2023. There may be some level of staggered deployment across different platforms due to the patch coming in hot.

The patch will address the following issues:

PATCH NOTES

Fixed: PC stuttering on Ultra graphics settings

This fix resolves graphical issues when running the game on Ultra settings with appropriate hardware.

This also fixes an issue causing FPS drops when attacking or grappling with opponents while running the game on Ultra settings with appropriate hardware.

Fixed: Voice chat not working in lobbies for party members

This fix is for an issue where party members would lose voice chat functionality once in a lobby.

Fixed: XP Progression

This fix resolves a UI issue that would appear to rank up after every match, despite not gaining the required XP to do so.

This fix also resolves inaccurate XP and XP delays related to earning XP.

Fixed: Various Crashes and Freezes

This includes a PS4 crash related to unlocking trophies.

This also includes a fix for high level players experiencing a crash on the match results screen.

Changed: Key Rebinding

We’ve added key rebinding to the PC version of the game.

Changed: Lobbies will now launch with 6 players

This change should help lobbies get running smoother, quicker, and with less drops due to incomplete lobbies.

Leatherface is STILL required for a match.

Changed: Quick Match Menu

We’ve moved Quick Match to the top of the menu options when looking to join games.

Quick Match will result in not only quicker matchmaking into a lobby, but also fuller lobbies.

Changed: PC Removed from Cross Play

We are temporarily separating PC from the console player base in cross play while we continue to improve our anti-cheat tools and resources.

Tuning: EAC and Anti Cheat Improvements

We have made several improvements to our anti-cheat and protection from additional cheat resources.

We’ve also improved our tracking and logging for cheat detection and consistent future improvement.

We also plan to run the second edition of The Muerto Times later this week to highlight the next steps for the team. Stay tuned for more on that.

Thanks for your continued support and patience!

PC-sisters, it's joever...

Also the 6 player change is great but the biggest problem has always been people refusing to play LF and dodging.

Does the "Lobbies will now launch with 6 players" means that it will be 2x4/3x3 or it means that it can now start with one less person?

Game has been published for almost 1 month, and they only fixed these basic things, still no new contents.

So now we have to play with all the cheaters...

Yeah super strange decision. Like, 'here you go console players, no cheaters for you. PC players, prepare to have twice as many cheaters now since they all will be matched with other PCs'

Another one I don't really understand is 6 player lobbies. Like, 3 victims? I'm pretty sure many victims would just DC and go next, rather than play with severe disadvantage.

[SPEAKER MAN]

Removed cross-play? So now I can't even play with my friends? Bro... I used to have respect for these developers but that's a completely stupid move, mfks so incompetent they have to remove a whole ass playerbase from the game and keep them from interacting with each other.

I mean, I definitely should of expected such a thing, from the same people that brought us F13...

Not even gonna mention the absolutely stupid change to make it so games can start with either family or victim at a disadvantage. Bro these developers are shooting themselves in the foot, and with all this lack of competence, they deserve whatever outcome they get out of this ♥♥♥♥ show of an update.

What an absolute disappointement. Like I said though, not out of character coming from these developers...

[I'm him]

Thought Gun would have this game done better since the developers are different from Illfonic, but it looks like it might have the same fate as Friday the 13th. Already a month in with 0 balancing updates/announcements, and the bare minimum for bug fixes. What a shame. Now because of their own lack of security that they should've known would be a problem, PC players get penalized and have to play with all the cheaters instead of just fixing the damn issue.

About time! Thx for the update. Sad you are disabling cross play. Also sad to see match will now start with 6. That means there will be a real disadvantage for one side.

most likely means that lobbies can now start with one less victim or family (aka the lobby doesn't need to be full)

[Sunset Sherbet]

Yeah, this is going to kill the game. Not sure why you spent all that money on UFC and AEW advertising to do this. The game will end up with few PC players due to this. This is going to knee cap the playerbase. PC players will be slow to get any lobbies and have to wait far longer. The game they paid for is now changed. I won't be surprised if the game is overwhelmingly negative by Friday. You can't just cut like 30-50% of your playerbase from the rest with almost no warning and expect it to be fine. I don't see player numbers recovering.

Really disappointed. I enjoyed the game and had been recommending it to people, but I no longer can do so and no longer expect the game to last more than a month or two.

Cheaters can change their Platform ID, bypassing any Cross-play restriction, this does nothing but punish legit players LMAO

Meanwhile not a single bug or exploit was fixed

[nod for kiss]

no balance changes
no fixes for stunlocks
no bug fixes

but most important part: we are removing pc from cross platform.

Queue times weren't even that long, but the devs probably have the attention span of a goldfish, so they thought "hey, lets allow either one of the team to start at a HUGE disadvantage! People definitely won't leave when they see they have to go against 4 surviovrs with only 1 family member or vice versa"

Absolute ♥♥♥♥ devs. Their IQ cannot possibly be any higher than the temperature of my room for even thinking such a change is ideal and needed...

So no changes to bugged perks?
