Bugs Fixed
- Player names appearing as anonymous for the first time playing.
FIXED: You are no longer anonymous! Your name should now appear. If you are still encountering this bug, please close the game down, restart, and check. - Game freezing when not in window focus.
FIXED: Your game should no longer freeze when you alt tab/click off screen. - Game not launching due to audio issue.
TEMP FIX: If there is an issue with audio, the game will still launch without audio, rather than freeze. (We still hope to resolve the audio issues but at least you can play…) - Username not showing up on leaderboards.
FIXED: Your usernames should now be appearing on leaderboards! Make sure to restart your game and check for patches, if you are still encountering this bug. - Music on pathways not changing from Idle and into new soundtrack variants.
TEMP FIX: Pausing the game, and unpausing, should force the music to update from Idle and into a new track.
As always, thank you for sharing all of your feedback and any bugs you encounter. Please do continue to share your bugs with us in the official Discord
