Hey Runners! 👋
Hope you guys are doing well.
Today's update brings some huge quality-of-life enhancements for spectating, brand-new atmospheric audio effects, and two new locations to explore and loot!
We are officially adding the Grocery Store and the Sheriff Station to the pool of spawn locations in the American Suburbs map. Both come packed with its own dedicated item spawn locations, giving you whole new tactical zones to clear out for high-value loot before the storm rolls in.
⚠️This is NOT a new map YET, just additions to the current one. Don't worry we are working hard on a new map for you guys.⚠️
Beyond that, you can now monitor your teammates' exact Health, Stamina, Tasks, and Threat Levels while spectating (or while incapacitated), pelt your friends with newspapers to inflict papercuts, and hear realistic metal-bending audio cues as tornadoes rip through city landmarks!
Bugs and reports that were addressed in this patch:
New Map Locations: Added the Grocery Store and Sheriff Station to the pool of possible game spawn areas.
Added functionality for the newspaper item to hit other players.
Added the Papercut Moodlet (triggered when getting struck by newspapers).
Added Moodlets details to the Pause UI.
Added custom Large Metal Bending Sounds for the Billboard, Water Tower, Tornado Siren, and Gas Station when affected by storms.
Added Wooden Pole Cable Snapping Sounds for environmental destruction.
Added realistic Window Whistle Sounds to Houses during severe weather.
Temporarily removed Lumen settings while we work on performance fixes.
Updated the item system to significantly reduce desync issues where client players couldn't see items visible to others.
Updated Spectate and Monitor screens with full HUD elements: You can now view Health & Stamina bars, Task List, F5 Threat Level, Compass, and Coordinates of the employee you are watching (including yourself when incapacitated).
Updated a brand-new physics system for the newspaper item, fixing an issue where it would shake violently when held or animated by client players.
Updated icons for the Injured and Very Injured Moodlets.
Adjusted mobile spawn areas across maps to avoid blocking too much sidewalk space.
Added missing trees across map floorplans.
Fixed an issue with the position of the warning icon in the Create Session text field when left empty.
Fixed Data Retrieval quest positions that caused the asset to float.

These are some of the main issues that we are aware of and are currently being worked on:

Connection issues to servers or invitation issues.
Performance issues on specific menus, when highlighting items, or when Alt + Tabbed out.
