More Content Updates

Bug Fixes

  1. Fixed an issue where the collar color of the "Cattle Valiente" outfit was incorrect.

  2. Fixed an issue in Autumn Cabin where NPC "Otto" was missing fur.

  3. Fixed an issue in Autumn Cabin where rapidly taking out and putting away the fishing rod could cause the character's position to become abnormal under certain conditions.

  4. Fixed an issue in Nemo Kart where players could not exit the results screen normally under certain conditions on PS5.

  5. Fixed an issue in SMASH where players could start without a weapon after selecting the "Single Hand Master" or "Double Hand Master" Pawer and then also selecting the "Spinach Master" Pawer.

  6. Fixed an issue in SMASH where the selected "Spinach Master" Pawer failed to take effect in all subsequent rounds.

Optimizations

  1. In Crisis Mode:

    1. Adjusted the "Forensic" role: it now learns information about the killer when any player reports a dead body, instead of by examining killed players.

    2. Adjusted "Hakkar": it can now use vents, still wins after infecting all players, and its infection ability cooldown increases as fewer players remain alive.

    3. Removed some Photo Mode restrictions: players can now enter Photo Mode with fewer than 8 players, and Photo Mode no longer exits automatically when a faction wins or a sabotage event occurs.

    4. Further optimized role assignment at the start of matches.

  2. In Autumn Cabin - PAWS, if a player times out without selecting a target while using an item, the item now automatically affects the player who was last highlighted when the countdown ends, instead of a random player.
