What changed for players

Our summary is based on the linked Dazed Games announcement. Read the original for the developer's complete wording.

Session and control changes

  • Hosts can choose a private lobby and change the session type in server settings; that change requires a restart.
  • Horizontal and vertical camera movement can be inverted separately.
  • The lowest locked frame-rate setting drops from 50 to 30 FPS.

Progression fixes

The patch closes unintended travel to locked islands and a joining-player exploit that could end a session. It also corrects the all-Drip achievement requiring one extra catch, plus invisible slot-machine previews at 4K resolution.
