Multiplayer Layout Settings

Thanks to all of the suggestions for this feature on the Discord!

You can access via the Multiplayer tab using the “Spawn Settings” button.

  • Use 1 of 8 patterns to automatically align your friends' cats

  • Every pattern has an anchor that defines where it starts

  • Cat slots can be disabled so that certain screen regions can be kept free (click on a preview cat to enable/disable a slot)

  • Rotate all cats at once

  • Swap two cats by dragging one onto another

  • Snap Cats lets your cats snap into the pattern-defined slots

  • The “Recalculate” button lets you re-evaluate the layout instantly. All cats you placed outside of the pattern will remain in their positions

  • Use F6 when in a lobby to show a preview of all current slots

  • And some more pattern-specific settings!

Quality of life:

  • Open and close your inventory with Esc, M (Bongo Cat needs focus) or the middle mouse button (while hovering over your cat)

  • Patting can be turned off (Settings > Interaction > Pat Cats)

  • much shorter white flash on startup (we tried everything, looks like we cant fix this fully :< )

  • Translucent On Hover is back (Settings > Interaction > Translucent On Hover)

Bug fixes:

  • Fixed inventory sometimes not refreshing correctly

  • Fixed randomly resetting emote wheel

  • Fixed “Multiplayer Popup” setting where players couldn’t be gifted when the setting was turned off

  • Fixed BongoDex hiding items from a fully hidden collection even though you have some of that collection

  • Holding Enter doesn’t spam the chat anymore

  • Fixed tooltips staying on screen although the menu was closed

  • And many more thanks to you!! 💖

I’ll have a look at some performance improvements next. And there is an even bigger update in the making :)

Don’t forget to update your game!

Thank you for your Support <3

-Flo, Iris
