Quick Match, Steam invites, and host handover fixes

This update is about the hard part: filling a lobby.

Quick Match

  • One button on the main menu joins the lobby closest to starting, and creates one if nothing is open.

  • Full and password-protected lobbies are skipped, so you never land in a game that cannot start.

Friends

  • A new Invite Friends button in the lobby. An invited friend drops straight into your lobby.

  • Your Steam friends list now shows whether you are in the menu, in a lobby, or in a match.

Waiting for players

  • The lobby now shows how many more players are needed before the match can start.

  • Tell Discord I'm waiting posts your lobby to the community Discord, and the post retires itself once the match starts, so nobody answers a ping for a game that is gone.

Fixes

  • Fixed host handovers losing the match. A crashed host could stall a vote, lose a kill, or leave a finished match hanging.

  • Fixed the lobby browser offering Join on lobbies that were already full.

  • Fixed night executions ending early and bouncing your next vote.

  • Fixed players holding an invisible weapon for the rest of the match.

  • Fixed role card tooltips drifting, flickering and clipping off the screen.

  • Fixed Last Word queuing speakers when it was turned off.

  • Fixed an error when leaving a match.

  • Death screams and the burn sound are on by default again.

  • All new text is translated across 18 languages.

Short on players? The Discord is where games get organized: discord.gg/Ydq3wnZz6r
