Updates

• Fixed: Victims Trapped Collision Issue
  • Resolved an issue where Victims who are trapped then lose collision/control when trying to use a gap afterward.
  • This issue is not the ONLY issue related to Hitchhiker traps and Victims.
  • To provide additional info on additional issues with Hitchhiker traps and Victims, please use THIS THREAD.
• Fixed: Perking Up Achievement
  • We fixed an issue with the Perking Up achievement causing it to not unlock.
  • Carry on Achievement Hunters
• Fixed: Continue on Lobby End Screen
  • This issue was causing all active players to wait the full timer when choosing to continue to the next match, due to disconnected players.
  • This will help speed up the process of matchmaking into the next match for active players.
• Fixed: Continue Missing from Custom Game End Screen
  • We resolved an issue where the continue option was missing from the end screen of custom games.
• Changed: Battery Match Start State
  • The car battery will now start out on and be powered up by default.
  • This will help Family players get to the tasks at hand to set up for the match faster.
• Changed: Respec in Lobby Option
  • We have removed the option to respec characters in match lobbies.
  • You can still edit the character loadouts and spend any unused skill points.
  • Respec will have to be done via the main menu now.
• Tuned: Bone Scrap Limits
  • Bone Scrap piles are now limited to 3 uses per pile.
  • This is just one step in terms of balancing the scrap usage and frequency.
• Tuned: Cook Lock Usage XP Farm
  • We have set a limiter to the amount of XP that can be earned from placing and removing locks repeatedly.
  • You will still receive the XP bonus for placing each of the three locks once.
• Tuned: Lobby Timer Set to 3 Minutes
  • We added to the lobby timer in the last patch to give more time to fill lobbies.
  • The community generally disliked this change, and we have therefore reverted it back to the standard 3 minutes.
• Tuned: Further Anti Cheat Tuning and Improvements
  • We have continued our work on anti cheat and are one step closer to reintegrating PC into cross play, though we are not there just yet.
  • Players encountering usage of cheats and/or hacks in public PC lobbies, please continue to report them via support.

The studio also confirmed that it’s still working on resolving issues that will allow them to re-enable cross-play for PC players. Stick with Shacknews for timely updates on The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.
