- Post-launch bugfix patch - 7 June 2024
Howdy, pardner! There's a new update in town ๐ค This update fixes the following bugs: Wins from the previous match carried over to the next match (reported by Connorses) Chips were reset at the end of each match, so that only chips won in that match actually counted Each individual shot in the shotgun spray counted as a kill, leading to some players getting overly rich Similarly, hitting with multiple shots would result in ridiculous knockback The camera could end up in odd orientations, making it impossible to aim/move and seeming like the controls got swapped (reported by TK2236) Ending a match with the floppy sniper extension could lead to your crosshair being off-kilter in the next round (reported by Connorses) Jumping onto flying platforms could instantly kill players - they are removed until a fix is found Thanks to Connorses and TK2236 for reporting some of these bugs!
