[/b] The following notes are for our upcoming patch, scheduled to begin rolling out on console and PC tomorrow, September 26th, at roughly 2PM Eastern US time. The patch will address the following issues: [b]PATCH NOTES[/b] [b]Fixed:[/b] Hitchhiker Trap Exploit - Fixed an exploit where Hitchhiker players could use his trap to pass through walls and doors. [b]Fixed: [/b]Hitchhiker Trap Interaction Issues - We’ve resolved an issue where Victims would be unable to interact with gaps, crawl spaces, and other elements after stepping in a Hitchhiker Trap. [b]Fixed:[/b] Johnny and Sissy Lunge - Johnny and Sissy both had a lunge that was greater than other Family members. - We’ve adjusted this to be more in line with the rest of the Family members. - This should also correct the Johnny build we’re seeing used in public matches. [b]Fixed:[/b] Brightness Cheat - Fixed an issue that would allow PC users to adjust their in game brightness outside of accepted levels by editing game files. [b]Changed:[/b] Hitchhiker Traps at Ladder Exits - We have adjusted the area at the top of a ladder where the Hitchhiker can place a trap. - This still allows for strategic play, but will give Victims an opportunity to counter the trap. [b]Changed:[/b] Fusebox Reset - The Family can now turn the fusebox off after a Victim turns it on. - There is a cooldown applied to the switch, similar to generators and car batteries. [b]Changed:[/b] Family Stun Immunity - Family now has a 10 second stun immunity period after an initial stun ends. - There is NO stun immunity after a Family member is stunned by a Victim bursting out of a hiding place. - If you attempt to stun a Family member who has immunity, you will not see the prompt for Leland’s ability or a back stab. - If you attempt to stun a Family member who has immunity with a door slam, it will have no effect. - Close Encounters all vary in duration due to the individual Family members having different stun recovery times, therefore the immunity period is different for each.

To report any and all existing or persistent issues, please use the [url=support.txchainsawgame.com]support site[/url]. As we've mentioned previously, we'll be starting to shift away from weekly patching, and the next patches may be a little less rigid in their scheduling and timing. Meaning, we'll have a new Muerto Times when it makes sense to do so and patch notes to follow. Thanks for your continued support and patience!
