Patch Notes v0.135

Critical Fixes & Stability

  • Anti-Softlock Measures:

    • Fixed a soft-lock occurring when getting punched while interacting with Bribe/Extortion NPCs.

  • Inventory

    • Resolved an issue where rapidly switching items caused objects to scale up indefinitely.

  • Lobby & Security: Lobbies are now set to Private by default in the Host menu.

    • Added Lobby Protection to prevent unauthorized joins. Please report any further instances of uninvited players joining your sessions.

    • Added a "1 Player" option to the Max Players dropdown in lobby settings.

Gameplay & Balance

  • Shady Point Balancing: To prevent easy farming, punching the same NPC will now only grant Shady Points for the first hit each day.

  • Incinerator Mechanic: The pop-up notification for unlocking the Incinerator on the Dark Web is now global. All players will be notified, so the whole crew learns the mechanic at once.

  • Online Orders: Fixed a bug where orders would still arrive even when the Pizza Store was closed.

  • Hank’s Quest: Fixed an issue where assets were missing upon accepting the quest.

  • Map Fixes: Added a missing ceiling collider to the Redline Phone room and fixed an exploit in The Hobarey Depot where the Level 2 Washing Machine could be purchased through the wall without the upgrade. You guys so naughty when it comes to exploits!

UI & Audio Improvements

  • Accessibility: Added a Subtitle Size setting for players using large screens (TVs) to ensure readability from a distance. We're also working on a 'Black Bars' option for the competitive Counter-Strike players, coming in a patch around February 2041.

  • Skillforge Guidance: Improved the description pop-ups for upgrades to better explain their functions.

  • Audio Logic: Overhauled the debt-related audio logs. Much like the tutorial, playing a new log will now automatically stop the previous one to prevent audio overlapping during bulk payments.

  • New Sound Effects (SFX) added and polished.We fixed over 35 bugs, errors, missing texts, and save issues last week. You can check the full details on our posts page or jump into our Discord to report any problems you encountered during your visit to Hobarey Town.

Peace, Bunch'o'Nerds Team
