This update focuses on improving Fire Wall and Barrier modes, refining online behavior, and fixing several gameplay and audiovisual issues.

• Added new sound effects to the Fire Wall. Flame sounds can be heard when nearby, and drums will play when getting even closer.

• Fixed cage bouncing in the Castlecuco map during online play by disabling cage rotation synchronization, which removes the physics delay causing the issue.

• Fixed an issue with bottle sounds in cooperative play where they would not be heard correctly when the camera was zoomed out.

• Fixed an issue in online Barrier Mode where changing direction could kill non-host players.

• Fixed an issue where the Fire Wall would not return to the start of the map if the host was a bubble far from the beginning.

• Fixed a Fire Wall camera issue where excessive zoom occurred when the camera was focused on a single player.

• Fixed an issue where the player would not jump in the correct direction after stopping being a bubble.

• Fixed an issue where a bubble player had no valid target to move toward, causing them to drift away or remain stuck in place.

• Fixed an issue where popping a bubble did not visually show that the last checkpoint was activated.

• Fixed an issue in Fire Wall Mode where the level would end if all players died at the same time; now one player will remain and the level will continue.

This update improves gameplay comfort, reworks a game mode, and fixes several online and stability issues.

• Barrier Mode improved: the camera zoom has been completely reworked, making the mode much more comfortable to play in both local and online matches.

• Fire Wall Mode (rework): replaces Leader Mode; the camera now focuses on all players in local play, while in online matches each player has an individual camera; a sound effect will be added soon.

• Adjusted the ending of Level 4 in the Playground map to make it fairer.

• Fixed an issue that occurred when the host closed the lobby while a player was on another tab.

• Fixed a translation issue when trying to join a lobby while already being in another one.

• Potential fix for the version mismatch issue when joining online lobbies (still in testing).

  • If the problem persists, please check the Player.log file at:

    Look for the line:

    [c]Trying to join lobby with version: XXXX | My current version is: XXXX[/c]

    This information would greatly help identify and fix the issue properly!
