Hello Scouts! Our very first proper patch is live, adding some stability, bug fixes and balance to the game.
Thank you all for climbing with us! It's been an amazing 24h! Enjoy the new map and fixes.
Patch Notes:
Critical Stuff:
PEAK will now ask you to pick your graphics API on startup. If you have experienced crashes or instability, we recommend switching from DX12 to Vulkan (or vice versa) as your first step to try.
Added a framerate cap to the settings menu. This should be your second step to try!
Bug-Fixes:
Fixed an issue where certain badges would show the wrong cosmetic being unlocked during the endgame screen
Fixed gamepad-only issue where pressing Sprint while climbing would not perform a lunge
Removed Warp Compass temporarily as it seems to send people to the void more often than not. Hopefully it comes back better than ever.
Prevented the Rope Shooter from firing and being wasted on a target that's out of range, like the Chain Shooter does
Fixed issue where guidebook pages on the ground could turn invisible
Prevented scouts from walking into the ocean
Balance Changes:
Increased the length of Energy Drink's buff, but reduced the amount it increases your speed. ALSO REDUCED THE DROWSY IT INFLICTS BY A LOT, SORRY TO ALL THE SCOUTS WHO LOST THEIR LIVES TO THIS ITEM
Both Lollipop and Energy Drink now have a "grace period" where they won't start their effect cooldown for a few seconds unless you begin climbing a wall
Brought in item rarities slightly so you'll see rarer items a bit more, and the most common ones will be less over-represented
Made the bombshrooms in the Tropics even more dangerous
Made jellyfish even harder to see
Morale Boosts no longer scale with number of nearby scouts
Made the Scoutmaster's Bugle even more terrifying
Cursed Skull and Scout Effigy will no longer spawn when playing solo
Cursed Skull will no longer spawn from Scout Statues (but can still spawn from Ancient Luggage)
Increased vine climb speed
Quality of Life:
Added "controls" page to the pause menu, letting you review the game's controls at any time
Added a message to spectators' UI to give a hint towards how to get revived
Added a unique reticle for when a projectile item has a valid target
Added UI for being boosted up from below by another scout
Guidebooks are now synced across clients, allowing your friends to read over your shoulder
Made the Scout Statue tower collider more accurate.
