Infinite Backrooms - Weekly Update - August 22, 2026

Hi Everyone,

First of all, thanks to everyone who plays the game, and thanks for the feedback. Every week I will release an update with new features and bug fixes.

BUG FIXES

• Kinematic Character Controller Migration. Replaced Unity's default Character Controller with KCC for smoother movement, no camera flicker, no wall sticking, no elevator jams.

• Multiplayer Save/Restore Fix. Co-op saves now capture and restore every connected player, not just the host.

• Player List Mute Fix. Fixed the Mute button in the Tab player list not working.

• VSync / FPS Limit Fix. VSync no longer silently overrides the FPS Limit setting.

• Smiler Wall Fairness. The Smiler can no longer reach players through the elevator.

• Pause/Inventory Movement Freeze. Fixed the player continuing to move/run in the background while the inventory or pause menu is open.

• Respawn/Revive Location Fix. Fixed an issue where respawns and revives would sometimes place players inside a wall or always send them back to the Level 0 spawn point instead of their correct location.

• Voice Chat Alive/Dead Split. Dead players now have their own non-proximity voice channel, separate from the living.

NEW FEATURES & IMPROVEMENTS

• First-Launch Welcome Screen. New players now get a short orientation screen on first launch.

• Anti-Aliasing Option. Added Off/FXAA/SMAA/TAA to Video settings.

• Difficulty Rebalance. Increased exit spawn probability for shorter, less punishing runs.

• Survival Timing Retune. Rebalanced hunger, flashlight, sanity, and night duration.

• Item Spawn Increase. Raised loot spawn rates across all rooms.

• Monster Spawn Delay. Monsters no longer appear immediately after entering a new level.

• Death/Downed Cause Tracking. Every death now records why (entity, fall, starvation, sanity, bled out, gave up).

• Chat Death/Downed Notices. Chat now announces when a player is downed (with position) or dies (with cause).

• Downed Time & Give-Up. Downed duration raised to 3 minutes, with a hold-SPACE option to give up early.

• Locator Bar Downed Visibility. Downed teammates now stay visible on the locator bar, shown in yellow.

• Region Connectivity Tuning. Increased corridor connections between world regions for a more interconnected map.

• Control Hints UI. Added on-screen hints for Flashlight, Inventory, and Talk that light up green when active.

• VOIP Always-On Setting. New Audio option to keep the mic open without holding the talk key.

• Objective UI. Added an objectives checklist to help guide players through the gameplay.

If you have any bug reports or feature suggestions, just let me know.

Enjoy your weekend, all!
