Hey everyone! Now that we’ve stated our plans for the “Road to 1.0”, we’re here with a first update to tackle reported bugs!

This update includes over 90 fixes to areas of the game that have had issues pop up in the recent updates, as well as long standing bugs.

Feedback Survey
Before we get into the fixes, we wanted to mention our Feedback Survey once again!

Provide Feedback on our Feedback Survey[forms.gle]

We’ve already been getting a ton of responses and have gotten to work on major bugs that have been reported there in addition to ones we already knew about!

If you want to fill out the feedback survey, we seriously appreciate it and it is of great help to us as a small team!


We’ve tackled bugs and made gameplay tweaks in the Plaza.

These include fixes to Arcade, Casino, Fishing, Minigames, Dark Voyage, and more!

The fishing ponds should now be functional (excluding the peninsula), and there have been fixes to general gameplay as well.

In the Casino, fixes were made to Aces and they are now calculated properly as high or low in all card games, soft locks were fixed, bingo cards no longer display on the wrong screens, and Silver Saddles now properly returns your bet if you win.

In the Arcade, Coin River, Dragon’s Treasure, Coloracle, Cow Wheel, and Balloon Pop have all had major fixes, as well as fixes to LODs.

In Dark Voyage, player guns no longer block your view, allowing you to enjoy the game without your friends getting in the way.

Other fixes are detailed in the changelog below!


This update includes many fixes for collision issues and spawn points in Virus: Subway.

Ball Race, Zombie Massacre, SDNL, and Virus all had fixes to visual issues, gameplay, and collision, respectively.

There were also fixes and improvements for Sub-Objectives in Zombie Massacre, and SDNL grav glove prediction improvements.


Several fixes have been made for item collision desyncs, visual issues, and other minor map issues in Highrise, Underwater, and Resort Condos! Also, hiding items now saves!

Further changes are detailed below! Again, we greatly appreciate any feedback in our feedback survey, forums, or other comments!
