2.7.0


Balance, fixes, QoL, and localization prep

Localization

 * Dynamic ability feedback has been localized: Chinese is not ready, but the coding to them is now ready for it (eg, instead of “you attacked blah”, it’ll now check the language and return the appropriate text). This was a huge change that affected English texts: Please report any inconsistencies.

Class Fixes/Balance

 * Debauchery and Strings of Mithras abils can no longer target the King in the 2nd target slot (meaning they can no longer target the King at all, anymore).
 * The goal here was to remove safe Debauches, meaning players now have to make a conscious decision where they want their redirect target to end up on: rather than just King.
 * Debauching to King allowed players to ignore conversion and, even if a King died, it was either:
 * …a plus for BD (because EK),
 * …or they just replaced the old GK with a new one (normally, killing GK by BD has its negatives: either the Execution Penalty, or Butler Suicide).


 * The Fool now always shows as a positive match vs the Maid’s Matchmake abil (while not framed).
 * The Fool’s auto “is [non-framed] match” and Scorned’s auto “isn’t match” is now added to Matchmake memo.
 * Currently, if not framing, the Fool is always shown as incompatible to the Maid; rewarding the Fool simply for existing rather than actually using their ability designed to incriminate themselves. This, also, in turn, makes Maid an easier class to ‘prove’ themselves with than the other investigatives.
 * By making Fool default to being always compatible, Fool will be encouraged to be more calculated with their frames, making the class require more depth to win with.
 * Frenzy’s bypass was only working with 2-for-1: Fixed to also work for Assassinate. --Tryphon
 * Court Wizard’s Clear Mind abil now works again vs Cult’s Brainwash abil.
 * Cult Leader’s Blood of Mithras abil will no longer allow click when clicking your Rupture abil on Day 2+ then canceling target selection.
 * Cult Leader’s Blood of Mithras abil can no longer target the Cult King.
 * Some evil notifications such as  was alerting the Cultseen King (such as Blood of Mithras and Expose): This should no longer happen. This may have only been happening to day ability alerts.
 * Spike Traps has been fixed after not actually working for a long time (where it seems like no one triggered the trap – ever).
 * Fixed Reaper’s Icy Touch abil that was not showing you do not have enough souls instead of nothing, should something go wrong (such as a desync).
 * Mind Warp abils now have an added memo:
 * When a Mystic uses a night ability, they now auto-switch immediately to the “Mystic” tab.
 * Fixed starting Unseen King only partially flagged as starting. This affected the initial class cards you saw (leaving out Guard! abil) and may have affected other checks for starting Kings.
 * Mastermind was having some issues with Matchmaking + Neutrals. Fixed this for both pre and “post” In The Shadows:
 * Fixed Reaper’s day abils that would allow multi-casting day abilities (should you have enough souls) among other strange effects when you use Gather Darkness:
 * Handmaiden’s Analyze abil can no longer target the same person 2x.
 * New, initiated Cult members will no longer show the Cult icon when a Cult King is present.

Stability/Optimization

 * Fixed GameSparks (our data server) socket connection, which would randomly cause an  error shown in logs to roughly 1% of players which would cause either disconnection or inability to login.
 * Reverted during beta: Found some issues to hint it’s not ready, yet. Close, but not yet.
 * The bug we encountered seemed separate! Re-reverted.
 * If you’re super technical, this is actually an open source issue.
 * Updated to a new version of Photon (our realtime server) which should fix  login screen error that prevented some users from logging in.
 * Made class cards load async (prevents a small freeze when loading everything - loads a little at a time, instead) => There’s a chance you may temporarily see some individual texts/pictures loading, but with the reward of greatly improved performance.

Non-Breaking Feedback Fixes
“…with restrictions: No conversion, attack, King, Debauchery, self-targeted, instant-evil-confirming or other Gossip abilities.”
 * Princess’ Willowisp abil now shows feedback if the target didn’t attack anyone. This could have been a local bug, but fairly sure live!
 * Clarified Noble’s Gossip abil feedback in class cards by extending the orange text of exceptions:
 * string that literally said target instead of the player’s name
 * Surveillance abil’s “action word” feedback spelling ( >> surveil).
 * Expose abil typo saying that you will reveal who the  imprisons.
 * Fixed Facelift cancel flavor text typo, "remaining seen as the ".
 * Fixed Icy Touch abil’s "You silenced " typo.
 * Added a period to the end of Walking Bomb abil feedback, and worded it to sound less awkward.
 * Possessor’s Facelift abil now includes a pronoun and shows the stylized color of that class name’s faction:
 * Whenever you get feedback tips regarding “This could have been…”, it most should now consistently show in order from BD >> Unseen >> Cult >> Neutral >> Misc (eg, Suicide) and in alphabetical order from within each category.

Settings

 * Revamped to be smaller, tabbed, and more-scalable (future changes == faster).
 * New gameplay setting: “Auto-Show Class Cards”. Default ON.[[File:2.7.0.autoshow.jpeg]]
 * This will show your class cards ASAP when loaded into the game (above the loading screen, a few seconds before the game starts).
 * As most new players forget about their class cards, this should help players learn their classes. For veterans, it’s nice to have an extra few seconds knowing your class - I bet most will keep it on.
 * Since you’re probably wondering: I can’t make it show earlier than this since classes aren’t actually assigned until all players are verified to be in-game and connected.

Art/Sfx

 * Sorcerer’s Detonate abil now triggers an arcane explosion sfx instead of the default death-slice sfx.
 * Mastermind got a slight lighting bump/crop - probably only noticeable if you compare side-by-side.
 * Ritualist got a slight lighting bump.
 * Reaper got a slight lighting bump.
 * Intrigue abil icon slightly changed to vary from Gossip.
 * Mystic portrait completely revamped:

More Stats

 * Added a variety of individual legacy class stats (WIP) --Tryphon
 * Note that only starting evil classes show here: Non-legacy stats will be improved later.
 * We’ll polish it up (eg, hover fx) later Nvm, added hovers.

General Improvements

 * Class card description text areas are now scrollable (with a gradient fade-out) instead of long texts being crammed in with small font size.
 * Class card “notifications” (feedback) sections are now mostly-sync’d with the code: Whatever feedback you see in-game should be sync’d with what you see in the class cards. That said, MANY missing feedback entries have been added and/or corrected.
 * Mainly for offpeak timezones: If you are in queue for more than x period of time, the host can “start early” with 8+ players like private matches. Lobby chat will announce who can start. This is based on # of players online:
 * If you are in queue for more than 10 mins when >= 50 players.
 * If you are in queue for more than 7 mins when < 50 players.
 * The cooldown may be adjusted next patch - we’ll see.

Misc

 * “Main Chat” more-intuitively renamed to “Lobby Chat”.
 * The left banner area now dynamically adds and removes different banners (instead of just swapping out 1), showing up to 4 at a time as events come and go. Demo:
 * Also added a link to our Wikia’s lore section since it’s not yet found within the game (and would be a localization nightmare - maybe later lol).
 * Added Unity Analytics to track basic metrics, like retention, to make better decisions. This also gives us the option to seek funding, which is generally insta-deny without retention stats Smile.png Unity Analytics is “eh” – we may swap to something better in the future (we used GameAnalytics a while back for the charts, but they didn’t work out well when they broke our stats). I was playing around with Epic analytics, but it’s too new to be used here, so Unity it is Smile.png Updated privacy policy to include this mention.

FAQ
WOW, this patch took stupidly long: What the heck were you doing? Localization. Oh, so much localization… It wouldn’t have been bad if I started with it, but with all the dynamic text we have. Even Chinese unicode periods/commas are different - and have a “built-in” space character. Let’s just say that these entire patch notes took less time than the single paragraph at the top mentioning localization.

It was… tedious. I’m not done, but at this point, I’m 99% done (just need store localizations and polish the reported bugs).

What else?
 * Well, I also prettified every day/night ability that was not yet prettified – this makes future fixes/changes faster/scalable.
 * I found a bunch of bugs while having to test ~150 abilities one at a time: It was sort of a good thing I had to do this or I wouldn’t have found these fixes! With all the bug fixes in the past few months and this patch… we’re looking super stable, lately.
 * Well, the patch would’ve been boring if I didn’t spice it up with some minor balance!
 * I was also spending resources looking into publishers/investors! Oh, yes. It’s official. We’re actively seeking partners.

Major Fixes

 * Mastermind can now [non-pity] convert normally, again.
 * Inquisitor’s initial heretic targets are back to normal, again.
 * Flirt abil now considers Empower abil (the feedback would say it worked, but it didn’t actually work until now).
 * Probe abil now returns class name instead of type.
 * * Fixed bleed  feedback bug on recipient when immune.

Minor Fixes

 * Fixed King’s Royal Finger abil that wasn’t showing the target.
 * Fixed Happy Hour abil feedback in a couple spots.
 * Fixed Overlook abil feedback when no one visits.
 * Some stat fixes. However, note that stats will still be “off”, as we’re currently using legacy stats that are not necessarily accurate. We’ll eventually reset stats but keep the old stats in a legacy section.

New Features

 * Whispers now show feedback on typo’d, incomplete, or invalid whispers. --Tryph (thx @Priestess)

v2.6.0-Specific Fixes (Regression)

 * Fixed Scout/Imprison/Blood of Mithras that become un-cancelable. This was partially a general fix, so others may have also been fixed.
 * Butler’s  Poisoned Wine  abil now works vs starting King.
 * Fixed  Eradicate  abil icon that was too bright at the bottom-right, hiding the # of charges.
 * Tweaked some other icons to be darker at the bottom-right.
 * Fixed the visual text bug that was showing

Live Fixes

 * Fixed the ability spam exploits for 0-target abilities.
 * Fixed Debauchery and Strings of Mithras redirect abils from showing 0 feedback when an active ability with 0 target panels (like Bear Companion) is used.
 * Fixed Spectator Mode for private rooms.
 * Fixed some healing DNR<>CNH feedback, such as Heal on a 2nd-night Reaped target that was showing DNR instead of CNH.
 * Inquisitor should no longer win when dead before all the Heathen’s.
 * Matchmake abil should no longer initially target herself when also a Heathen.
 * Fixed all forms of Safeguard that was randomly causing temporary death immunity @ night to NOT sync (so the ability wouldn’t do anything).
 * Fixed Suicide abil inconsistencies.
 * Dying during the day will now properly show the death status icon (skull) and remove other status icons.
 * Fixed dev/backer/tutorial post-execution sfx for body landing (x3).
 * Transferring deaths via  Distort Reality  abil will now remove the “delayed death” status icon.
 * Tutorial “Lacerate” abil will now show the correct # of charges.
 * Fixed missing icons for Prying Servants, Spike Traps , Rewind and Follow abils.
 * Matchmake  abil’s initial target now has a better anti-King check.

v2.6.1a

 * Fixed missing icons for Prying Servants, Spike Traps , Rewind and Follow abils.
 * Matchmake abil’s initial target now has a better anti-King check. (Didn’t seem to be what was causing the issue. I’ll have a new hotfix soon)

Dev Notes
This is a big game with over 50 classes and roughly 150 abilities - even with the help of local testing (I test with 3 computers) and test realm (avg 8 players over 1~2 hours per session), new bugs are inevitable since we cannot possibly test all scenarios (and building unit testers would occupy me for months since the code isn’t optimized for testers).

That said, sometimes bugs simply cannot be found until pushed live due to a lack of data from   combos (that’s   potential combos).

Bare with me~ seeing a new bug will  never  mean we introduced more than we fixed.

Summary

 * 1) Tons of notable, class-specific bug fixes.
 * 2) Added some basic stats to lobby “Account” section.
 * 3) Revamped nearly all non-iconic icons.

Class Fixes/Improvements

 * Fixed a bunch of convert abil bugs:
 * Both Observer/Princess night abils now show feedback upon convert.
 * Redirecting into someone being converted will now show feedback, as well.
 * Since this was a shared fix, there are likely other “feedback+convert” combo bugs that will magically resolve from this.
 * Suicide toggle message no longer shows to evil King.
 * Reaper’s Gather Darkness abil will no longer desync via a visual bug when attempting to cancel.
 * The way day abilities cancel were backend-revamped, allowing more abilities to cancel and with proper feedback messages, as follows (some fixes, some additions):
 * Reaper’s Gather Darkness abil is now [properly] cancelable + displays cancel feedback msg.
 * Alchemist’s Stoneskin abil is now cancelable + displays cancel feedback msg.
 * Chronomancer’s Pocket Dimension abil is now cancelable + displays cancel feedback msg.
 * Physician/Ritualist/Herbalist’s Exhume abils are now cancelable + displays cancel feedback msg.
 * Mercenary’s Don Armor is now cancelable + displays cancel feedback msg.
 * TrollBox abils now displays cancel feedback msg.
 * …and probably others I forgot to list just for flavor text.
 * Sellsword no longer wins with BD King.
 * Maid’s Nosy Servants abil can now target reaped/soulless dead players.
 * Heal abils will now properly say “did not require” instead of “could not” when healing someone being defended by a Knight.
 * Aristocrat’s Intrigue abil no longer spam framed Heal abil feedback 2x. This will likely also fix related, gossip-like 2x spam bugs.
 * Hunter’s Bear Companion abil priority lowered to ensure abils like Defend and Safeguard * don’t take priority.
 * Fixed Poss Facelift often [unintentionally] showing default disguise when canceling or changing beyond the 1st choice.
 * Fixed Debauchery-type abils that was causing targets that had an active, targeted abil to randomly become redirect immune.
 * Prince, Butler and possibly another [Hunter?] no longer announce suicide messages (from using a shared mechanic).
 * Inquisitor’s Holy Blessing passive abil renamed to Relentless Pursuit.
 * Removed the cringy salesman text for the Assassin’s 2-for-1 abil for hovering, but kept it in the full description.

Stats

 * There is now a stats summary section under “Account” (screenshot below).
 * We will add on to this later. We actually track tons of per-class stats, but we haven’t tested them for accuracy, yet.

Class Cards, Text, Icons

 * Swapped out most all ability icons for better, higher-quality, more-relevant ones (don’t worry – we kept the iconic ones). Demo below:
 * Removed the bloaty Hover tab by popular request.
 * Removed or swapped out some obsolete tips/class summaries.
 * Swapped mentions of Psychic to Mystic in class card tips.
 * Made the infinity symbol for # charges for less-awkward sizing/alignment compared to numbers.
 * Got rid of the outline on # charges to look more “clean” (and ensured every icon corner has a dark corner area for visibility) + moved it to the bottom-right corner.
 * Mass changed wording of “themself” to “themselves” in class cards and feedback because OCD.
 * Updated tutorial to use the new icons/size/style.
 * Newcomer tips will no longer be displayed in the tutorial since players don’t even get access to logs until later.

Game Over

 * Added a new victory and defeat theme song (30s) to make game over more satisfying.
 * Faded in the winner screen background/text/logo on separate timers to look less '90s.
 * Added the end screen music back (not sure when it went away).

General

 * Removed live game “disconnected/gray” names to prevent numerous forms of metagaming. This is why we can’t have nice things.
 * Online friends list buttons will now disable if they’re starting or in-game. You may still invite users at the end screen or login screen (showing just ‘Online’) to queue up an invite.
 * Newcomer tips are now displayed by starting with an * asterisk and displayed in a gray-blue color.
 * The daily Newcomer reminder tip to log actions+results now fits on 1 line for most default chat layouts to be less annoying while we burn this meta in new player minds :slight_smile:

Dev Notes

 * Last patch fixed the FPS drops and we were able to keep the lighting quality upgrade, woot! Best of both worlds! One day, I’ll completely revamp lighting completely at minimal FPS cost (I know a way - just need the time to do it).
 * This was supposed to be a pure bug fix patch, but distractions happen. Oops :slight_smile: Hope you enjoy the sweet distractions on top of the bug fixes. We’re really excited about these new icons that actually fit way better than the old ones (no more Inquisitor attacking people with spears).

2.6.0a

 * Fixed breaking bug for top-left panel.
 * Removed “drawn” stat.
 * Fixed tutorial “Assassinate” showing incorrect name/hover text.
 * Some last-second icon changes.

v2.6.0~v2.6.0a Bugs

 * Night abils now interact normally again after n2.
 * Make v2.6’s new Victory theme song fanfare less abrupt.
 * Suicide btn now shows correctly from v2.6
 * Fixed negative win stat caching on loss (instead of losses++).
 * More last-second icon changes.

Live Bugs

 * Fixed some ability spam exploits that would allow # of ability charges to go higher than what’s expected.
 * Fixed several types of “Cannot Be Healed” <> “Does Not Require Healing” inconsistencies.
 * Fixed an bug/exploit that allowed you to use both day abilities with the following combo:
 * When using a day ability when you have 2 day abilities…
 * And the ability selected is cancelable…
 * And has no target panel.
 * For example, this fixed still being allowed to use Reaper’s Icy Touch after using Gather Darkness.
 * This also fixed abils that were cancelable, but would remove charges if you clicked it since it wasn’t technically supposed to be clickable at that time (eg, Exhume after you already used Inoculate).
 * Possessor disguised as Cult will no longer trigger cult wins visual bug
 * Handmaiden’s Prying Servants and similar abilities now allow targeting the dead Possessor body using his Possess abil.
 * Corrected the color style for when a Butler ends your life via poison.
 * Fixed incorrect Possessor class cards day tip info.
 * Clamped class cards top left flags so they can’t drag.

Class Fixes

 * Tornado abil can no longer target King in 2nd target slot.
 * Cult Leader’s day ability enable<>disable weirdness was fixed.
 * Fool will no longer win while dead without finishing their objective.
 * Heal abil feedback for Did Not Require and Could Not Heal was inadvertently swapped and is now fixed.

Suicide Abil

 * Scorned may no longer Disguise a suiciding player (they will receive the “already dead” feedback).
 * Toggling Suicide abil will now inform evil allies.
 * Suicide is now shown on Night 2 (from Night 3).

General

 * Swapped lighting to CPU-based instead of GPU-based to prevent FPS drops (GPU was Unity’s experimental feat, anyway). Let me know if improved.
 * Added a {me} variable to custom logbook templater in settings.

Test Realm

 * Name selection timer is reduced to 10s (from ~30s) since names are now auto-selected in PTR.

Dev Notes
This mini patch was a follow-up to v2.5.3 with more class bug fixes. Next patch will likely also be focusing on class bug fixes.

2.5.4a

 * April Fools spam @ end fixed.
 * Added missing Inquisitor April Fools portrait.

2.5.4b

 * The new Suicide abil toggle “evil allies” feedback will no longer announce it… to everyone D:
 * Players that change classes (Dirty Work, Convert, etc) should no longer see their abilities when jailed the same night. This isn’t tested, but should do the trick. This was like a 2-year old bug :stuck_out_tongue:
 * Fixed an awkward Psycho King description at the top.

Class Fixes

 * Matchmaking abil feedback chaos should now be fixed (after reverting a failed scalability revamp).
 * Maid no longer has a chance to have herself be the starting Matchmake abil target.
 * “Couldn’t heal” message from Heal abilities have been fixed and should show the correct message, which was especially affecting Knight (poor Knight).
 * Mystic’s Conduit abil fixed, no longer able to target King.
 * There are now more-aggressive checks for neutral win checks (with eyes on objective-based classes, sellsword, etc).
 * Inquisitor Heathen icon should now -only- show to the Inquisitor when using Interrogate.
 * Tornado and Teleportation redirection abils:
 * Will no longer be able to target the same person 2x.
 * Can now also target self in 2nd slot instead of only 1st (both not both).
 * Fixed Disguise/Defile abils that, when combo’d with the same target being converted, would cause desyncs or “incomplete” converts due to unintended errors.
 * This should fix some feedback-on-convert bugs that were missing (although there are likely additional causes of the bug).
 * This also fixed Scorned Disguise working on someone that died during a convert attempt to the same target.
 * Since this likely caused bugs elsewhere, this may magically fix other bugs in an unknown fashion.

Newcomer
Now that we have a newcomer flag, we can start adding some goodies to start building good habits, such as additional system messages (Thx @Stoneage). These messages are customized per-faction, then also customized per-class for some Neutral.


 * Whenever a user is imprisoned, they will be instructed how to handle Prince interrogation.
 * For BD, you’ll be notified that the Prince is a trusted ally and that you should quickly reveal your class + logs to gain his trust.
 * For Cultseen, you’ll be notified how dangerous an adversary the Prince is - and that you should offer FAKE claim/logs to gain his trust.
 * (…etc)
 * Whenever a user is on trial, they will be instructed similarly ^ for how to handle a viable defense.
 * At the beginning of each day, there will be a reminder to update your logbook with recent actions + results.
 * Fixed 2019 anniversary gifts still leaking out to new players.

General

 * Upgraded to Unity 2020: Tested throughout, but there may be some unexpected bugs (or improvements!). The main point of this was to reap the benefits of improved editor performance (previously sluggish) and fix some editor bugs I’ve been waiting for. This will also allow us to use the new graphics pipeline in the future. Let me know if you get a performance boost!
 * I can confirm Win7 works with this Unity 2020 port.
 * Swapped lighting over to an experimental “GPU”-based schema (previously CPU-based): This may improve performance.
 * Some glitchy walls were magically fixed after the Unity 2020 upgrade.
 * Added some code to prep for Sloof Lirpa (more later).
 * Settings Logs Preset button is now layered behind the Texture Quality dropdown list.
 * Slightly adjusted color hues after Unity 2020 rendered them “grayish”: Let me know if you like it better or worse (if noticed):

^ I noticed that some death hallways are stupidly bright. I’ll fix it soon, but figured bug fixes trumped this in priority.

I was playing around with Unity 2020 features and had some nice “light hazing” on the Windows, but of course reverted because that was just a small test and would’ve broken consistency. One day, everything involving light needs to be revamped - I know it’s not pretty.

Test Realm (Beta)
Test realm is only up occasionally before a patch - it’s not persistent. However, when it is up, it’s best to streamline some stuff:


 * Players will now auto-lock-in their username as their IGN.
 * Player classes will now be revealed at the beginning of each match with a new welcome to test realm message to better discover combos to test.

Dev Notes

 * Bugs are bad, mmkay. There are still bugs unfixed, but I gotta patch a little at a time to deliver what we have instead of hoard them all for a giant patch that could potentially cause more bugs - I decided to focus on the ones that had the best bang for the buck of notable impact and speed to fix (some bugs take wayy too long to test and I really wanted to fix a LIST of bugs instead of just like 1 or 2 that will get more love later).
 * In one of the fixes above, there was a HUGE bug involving converting + disguise together that would just destroy silently games (for the rest of the match). This fix will have positive ripple effects on what else it fixed. Let’s keep an eye this patch what was “magically” fixed. If you notice something fixed not in patch notes, let me know!
 * I am still stupidly close to finishing localization. Next patch may be a bit boring so I can wrap this up. Localization to a native English speaker sounds boring, but opening the doors to new markets means higher budget: The more we make and the more globally-popular we are, the better things that arrive to Throne! We’ve demonstrated for years we always reinvest in Throne of Lies. Localization means better things for all of us.

Class Bug Fixes

 * Fixed Assassin’s Assassinate abil interaction with Reaper (that was causing Reaper to be unhealable) and a more-obscure bug that forgot to consider Empower.
 * Analyze abil feedback class results now show properly.
 * Noble’s Gossip abil now correctly displays occupies.
 * Fixed the ancient bug of Reaper’s Icy Touch (Chill) abil lifting too early due to host migration (disconnection) due to unsync’d timers.
 * Knight’s Defend abil is now unhealable, as intended.
 * Fixed obscure bug where Knights who get successfully redirected into Hunter’s Bear
 * Companion abil will no longer die, since CS will be cancelled out, as intended.
 * Knights will now successfully Cold Steel their intended target if they are occupy immune and there was a redirection attempt on them.
 * Fixed Mystic’s %X% target name feedback that wasn’t being replaced with the actual name.
 * ^ Similarly fixed Hunter’s %CASTER% notification.
 * Fixed an obscure Matchmake abil bug that was skewing results for Cult targets (Unseen targets worked fine).
 * Fixed Alchemist’s Emerald Potion abil that was not considering protection from Merc’s Shield abil.
 * Hunter’s Mark abil will now correctly occupy as intended.
 * Hunter’s Mark abil no longer shows up in Gossip (since it’s an attack).
 * Conduit abil is no longer able to target the same person twice.
 * Fixed a feedback “perspective bug” for select abilities with 2 targets, such as redirection or “A attacks B” type abilities that would sometimes show the same target 2x or inadvertently say you targeted “yourself” (was a visual bug only).

General Fixes/Improvements

 * Fixed death abilities that were not interacting at all.
 * Added a new room integrity check for room name: Sometimes this was getting desync’d, causing issues with reporting, was likely causing the “missing gp bug”, and potentially other bugs. If you join a room and the room name doesn’t match server, you’ll be booted: Joining again should fix it.
 * Added more initialization null checks to possibly prevent getting booted back to lobby. This is hard to test: We’ll see.
 * Tutorial can no longer target yourself for free-action phases (and the MM will no longer agree with you that it’s a good choice to assassinate yourself O_o).
 * Tutorial arrow anchoring fixed when pointing to use your Assassin bleed day abil.
 * Added Knight to list of “cannot heal” tips for Self-Heal abil.
 * Fixed some awkward vertical spacing between class cards.
 * Started ordering “this could have been caused by…” tips by faction >> then alpha. However, only as I come across them (low priority). There are only a few now that do this and will build over time.
 * The notifications for people leaving the game, as well as graying out of their name in the name list is fixed.
 * Fixed “Credits” section that wasn’t allowing you to back out, immortally looking upon the mighty folks that made this game possible. I sort of liked that bug…
 * Fixed a bunch of vertical-align “bouncing” issues (eg, when you enter j which is longer than x) when typing inside an input box.

General Quality of Life

 * Upon successful Inquisitor Interrogation, that player’s Heretic icon is revealed to the Inquisitor.
 * Logbook’s Send Selection limit is now gone.
 * Dead people can now emote at night in the graveyard.
 * Widened the chat “caret” from 1px to 2px.

QoL: Custom Logs Preset
The highly requested logs preset feat is now here! You can change yours in settings: Allow the user to create and edit their own personal log preset.

Creation Preview



^ Note: since this screenshot, a Default Layout button has been added.

In-Game Preview



中文 Localization

 * Tutorial has been localized. [During testing, it will be incomplete]
 * Fixed some vertical-alignment anchoring.
 * Translated some common phrases

Class Bug Fixes/Improvements
* Fixed Enforcer’s  Protection abil that was set to 0 targets instead of 1, therefore not doing anything upon click.
 * Fixed King’s  Decide Fate (Slam)  abil that was grayed out when it shouldn’t be.
 * In addition to the  Decide Fate, there were several other day abilities that were fixed in a similar way involving being grayed out or enabled when they weren’t supposed to (opposite of what’s expected). Day abilities will need a revamp, one day, but this bandaid should hold fine.
 * Pocket Dimension  abil fixed for immediate attacks.
 * Fixed Maid’s  Matchmake  abil involving targeting Mastermind day <4 (when supposed to be disguised) + also when matched with Sellsword that should now display as expected.
 * Fixed a series of major “semi-permanent bugs” all involving a group of events where certain status flags would NOT reset until you reboot the game if you hosted the next one, causing tons of confusion (thx @Stoneage):
 * Fixed bleed immune “Inoc Virus” bug that was causing a bleed-immune user to be perma immune the rest of his session throughout multiple games.
 * Fixed Cult/Unseen chat that would sometimes “leak” if you weren’t supposed to see it the rest of the session.
 * Fixed temporary death immunities that would permanently go away for the rest of the session once gone (eg,  Armored ).
 * Fixed  Royal Blood  randomly showing as true/false for the rest of the session.
 * Assassinate  abil was inadvertently setting targets  unhealable, so anyone  except  reaper would see opposite effects and cause confusion.
 * Sellsword didn’t used to win with auto-resolve (1 BD alive): SS should now win if bd doesn’t win.
 * Gaze ,  Bat Eyelashes, and  Probe  abils can no longer indirectly target the King (eg, redirect): it will show a “King found” feedback instead of an actual reveal. Memos updated.
 * Butler should no longer see night UI when pending suicide.
 * Invoker’s  Strings of Mithras  abil now allows same-target.
 * Overlook’s  action word  is now  overlook  instead of  survey  when using the ability.
 * Pocket Dimension’s “could have been…” feedback tip removed  suicide  from a possibility.
 * More  Pretender  mentions from feedback tips were removed (such as silence abils).
 * Added memos to redirection abils to clarify that  redirection conflicts may fail  (eg, a double-redirect such as with a self-redirect double redirection).

General Bug Fixes

 * Several lobby improvements when it comes to button enable/disable flow: Spamming the join button too early after leaving a room may have contributed to infinite loading screens and weirdness. Weird things happen when you spam the network servers.
 * You can no longer change your name while you’re joining a room through a particular combo of events.
 * Changing your name will no longer desync you from games, which would originally require a restart. This may have other domino-fixes, too, since a name desync isn’t good~
 * Text input “Caret” will no longer “shift up vertically” when no text is entered.
 * Double gp weekend rich text field fixed.
 * Upgraded to a new Text engine version, fixing a bunch of random bugs, mostly involving Unicode.
 * Lobby store now loads async for shorter freeze transition from login screen.
 * Friends beyond the 1st 8 now loads/refreshes async, too.
 * Fixed some desync recovery in lobby (if you were still in a group, some settings weren’t being reset).
 * Desyncing from a game during loading screen should no longer show a placeholder name through the lobby UI.
 * Joining between spectators<>players shouldn’t lock you inside, anymore.
 * Fixed the “deduction panel” sometimes showing incorrect values when <16 players.
 * Fixed some shader issue that always appears in logs that I… have no idea what this will actually fix O_o

Quality of Life

 * Blacklisted  hate slurs  ( not  swears) are no longer   asterisk censored as we swap to an improved system:
 * Sentences that would normally censor now only shows to the  local player  (from their end, it looks like everyone saw it).
 * The idea is for trolls to stop trying different ways to bypass the hate slang filter until it works and for end-users to not even see messages that contain these. Trolls will wait for a reaction only to find … no one cares - maybe they’ll get bored. In the future, we will likely add an auto-report system for open-and-close cases like this.
 * If you used one of these blacklisted slangs, you probably were off-topic and ill-intentioned, anyway.
 * Players that leave the room due to desync will be more prone to leaving behind a system message letting users know they were kicked by system.
 * When you join a room, you’ll now auto-focus the chat.
 * When you get to name selection, you’ll now auto-focus your IGN selection.
 * When you choose your IGN, you’ll now auto-focus name selection chat.
 * When the game starts, you’ll now auto-focus the main chat.
 * You can now name yourself  Pretender  (by oddly-popular request :P)
 * Settings resolution selection is now vertically centered.
 * Quit confirm panel is no longer off-centered.
 * Settings resolution dropdown dupes now display the refresh rate Hz.
 * Quit button and quit confirm pane panel are now more-polished.

Localization 中文

 * Fixed the   bug that would wrap around text while using Chinese IME text selection popup.
 * Fixed the deathnote small text.
 * Plugged in a bunch of random localization. Tutorial and ability feedback next!

Hotfixes

 * Tutorial doesn’t freeze.
 * Scorned Troll Box abil will now enable when it’s supposed to.
 * King Point Finger abil will now enable when it’s supposed to.
 * King Point Finger abil will now toggle on/off as you nominate someone for treason.
 * King Decide Fate (slam) abil will now toggle on/off as you decide between pardon/exe/abstain.
 * This was a speedy hotfix and there may be some unintended side effects: Will polish this later.
 * Welcome screen now gets no popups until you’re done.
 * Kingslayer II  promo should stop (should’ve stopped a while back!).

Hotfixes

 * Fixed v2.4.0 bugs, notably in response to integrity check bugs and some day ability gray-outs.
 * Lobby integrity checks have been temporarily pulled for further testing.
 * Due to popular demand over a long period of time, we have added the  Scorned Beta  avatar as the 1st “prestige” avatar. It’s expensive.
 * Observer abils are now called “Observe” and “Overlook”.
 * GDPR “Request Data” fixed.
 * Sheriff’s Scout fixed, no longer showing players  just  converted.

Balance
See next session for explanations. Shoutout to the new dev panel for their help!

Class Retired: Pretender

 * Pretender got caught pretending to be the King and was brutally slaughtered by the Blue Dragon. She was never seen again… (except as a new portrait in the store! Scroll down for store updates)

Balance Changes: Observer

 * has been replaced with  Distant Follow   : “Discover who target player visits.”
 * has been replaced with  Survey   : “Discover who visits target player.”

Balance Change: Noble

 * ability removed. Replacement may come later.
 * can no longer target the King.

Balance Change: Chronomancer

 * Timesnatcher’s Dark Dimension ability now disguises self as Chronomancer.

Balance Changes: Mercenary + Sellsword

 * “Stand Guard” + “Stonewall” ability priorities bumped down below occupy abilities. Merc will no longer gain Brilders when you were occupied (by a Butler, etc).

Other Balance

 * Sheriff and Paladin now max at 3 spawns (instead of semi-uncapped for investigation types).
 * [2.4a] Sheriff’s  Scout  fixed, no longer showing players  just  converted.

Noble unable to use Gossip on the King
''Turns out being able to confirm 3+ classes that normally have great difficulty to confirm themselves is very strong. Also it limits evil fake claimability. There should be more risks to doing that if they are unable to pick King as their target.''

Remove Noble/Aristocrat’s Noble Twin + Cannot Target King
''Noble was extremely strong and unfun to play against. The current one allows him to confirm self at any point in the game for free.''

Pretender RIP
''Due to how the meta shaped, the class is both unfun to play and unfun to play against. It’s very limiting for evils due to Blood Test and makes playing King even more of a pain than it should be.''

Observer Nerfs
''Observer was the strongest invest and, by using Follow, he can just get too much info. Breaking them down into separate abilities should make Obs more manageable to play against, and easier to fake claim.''

In the future, we may adjust the spawn rates of Obs, but not in this patch.

Tutorial

 * Mini-revamped it: Should be wayy better now. If you have improvement suggestion with wording (not mechanics - which take a ton of time to change), please submit to #feedback-qol
 * Localization will come next patch for this.

Newcomer Title
We will force this title on returning players as well in the future.
 * Players that have <50 games will now have a forced “Newcomer” title. This is not an equippable/permanent.
 * After 50 games, the title will permanently poof and use whatever title you have equipped (falling back to Squire).

Welcome Screen

 * Players that have not yet seen the new welcome screen will be guided through, once, in the lobby, introducing the lobby UI and encouraging use of the learning buttons.
 * This will also let players know about the new  title.

Class Cards
Class cards should now be up-to-date while including as much info as possible.
 * Updated old info.
 * Added more info.
 * Fixed straight-up mistakes.

Bug Fixes

 * Fixed class cards # of ability charges either showing incorrectly or not at all.
 * Troll Box input max characters capped to other chat caps to prevent spam.
 * Cult Leader’s “Eradicate” ability will now allow the same target to be targeted twice (so you can kill single targets).
 * Fixed “Debauchery-type” abilities to now leave feedback vs untargeted abilities.
 * Day 1 abilities should no longer show a quick fade effect if no day abilities to use d1.
 * Fixed class list panel “cancel weirdness” when 2nd day ability exists (eg, Possessor’s Facelift).
 * Possessor’s “Mind Control” is no longer enabled on D1.
 * Fixed ability button exploit that allowed you to click an ability button really fast to use it when you weren’t supposed to. For real-real, this time.
 * Fixed the confusing end-screen when a Possessor possessed others.
 * Corrected old typo for “50% winnings if left/won” when you actually get full winnings.
 * Fixed “Add Friend” in lobby.
 * Fixed “Add Friend” buttons showing up on players you’re already friends with in Post-Game.
 * Fixed “Report” button showing up on yourself.
 * Guidebook text should no longer be “elastic”.
 * Lobby “fading” errors will no longer linger if you’re quick to queue again.

Quality of Life

 * Court Wizard’s “Empower” ability feedback has been reworded to
 * Paladin’s “Test Faith” and “Smite” ability positions have been swapped for consistency.
 * Replaced some of the feedback text to say “you” instead of your own name in 3rd-person.
 * Possessor “Possess recipient”, upon death, will now have additional sfx
 * Game invites will now poof after 30s
 * ESC >> Mute panel now has hover fx for easier targeting
 * If 2-target-panel ability feedback were to normally show the same person twice (x and x), it’ll only show that person’s name once.
 * Possessor’s Facelift now has descriptive cancel feedback.
 * Players banned from private rooms will show a chat message to the remaining players.
 * The lobby “fake chat” at bottom-left before joining a room is now hidden when you can’t chat to be less confusing. We’ll replace it with something later.
 * Possessed players will now have a white   next to their class at the end screen.
 * Better aligned the top-right “deduction” panel numbers.
 * Lobby’s “My Character” now shows above your char. If it blocks any heads, let me know
 * BD King is now back to his original name Good King.

Stability/Security

 * Async tasks now cancel when they’re supposed to, which is the likely cause for freezy exits.
 * ^ That said, better exit handling: This patch  should  fix the long-awaited “Freeze/crash-on-exiting” bug!
 * Better lobby sync checks to prevent possible infinite loading from desync’d players.
 * If a player is kicked due to being desync’d with the new feature above, this will be displayed in chat. Be sure to screenshot what you see to Discord Judges+ if a player looks suspicious!
 * Chat should now reject more forms of spammy empty/blank messages.

Customization Store Updates

 * Added every class portrait as an avatar for around 2k/ea! Gotta catch em all?

中文

 * Fixed tons of vertical alignments
 * More localizations next patch - promise

Bug Fixes

 * This was actually cloud fixed, but for those that missed the memo: Fixed “Queue as Group” and the bug that was causing players’ rich presence (eg, “Queued”) to not properly update when creating/joining a game (which would further mess up the “Follow Friend” feature).
 * Fixed major bug that was causing Day 1 abilities to not be properly disabled, fixing the exploit for infinite Reaper day abils, Sorc day abils, Assassin’s double abils, etc (any class that gets 2 day abils probably fixed some annoying bugs).
 * Maid’s Nosy Servants abil 2nd panel now allows you to select dead targets as intended.
 * May have fixed Assassin Dirty Work exploit during trial. This is hard to test, though - please DM me in Discord, if not.
 * Fixed Defile/Disguise (and should have auto-fixed other issues that are similar, like Possessor).
 * Regular silence should no longer override a Reaper’s Icy Touch (Chill).
 * Day abilities now disable when <6 seconds on day 1 like other day ends.
 * Fixed exploit to spam-click abilities to activate them early, such as Prince Execute (For real this time).
 * Classes that shouldn’t win while dead no longer do.
 * Sellsword should now be able to win with Draw.

Optimization + Stability

 * Disconnections (especially when on the loading screen) should now be more-streamlined: You’ll be immediately thrown back into the lobby instead of seeing an infinite loading screen (or wherever you got d/c’d). This should also handle the “Empty Throne” bug, as well, caused by the same thing (server desync, usually).
 * We’re now using a more-optimized version of coroutines (code that repeats over-and-over). This should use less resources and have less chance of memory leak.
 * ^ This new thing also has a special “cancel” detection on game shutdown.  Maybe  this will help that lingering exit lag? We’ll see. Narrowing it down over time.
 * Leaving an in-game match would cause you to Disconnect from our realtime servers instead of just leave the room. This may have a performance boost and prevent weirdness when returning to lobby.
 * Fixed dead names, eg “BDKingStart”
 * Completely removed  GameAnalytics  package. We haven’t used it in like a year, even though it’s been there – we used to use them for those fancy graphs (before they nerfed it).

Quality of Life

 * Night abilities now fade-in 1-second faster.
 * You’ll now know if YOU got d/c’d or if the SERVER d/c’d you. If the server d/c’d you, it’ll let you know you were simply unlucky  When you get booted to lobby, you’ll now see a white fading text below the “Start Solo” button.
 * The name selection background has changed from the summer castle to the winter castle.
 * Event item store label saying “New!” now says “Limited Event!” or… something like that  it may not be new to  you.

中文

 * Paladin (聖騎士) has been corrected.
 * Physician (御醫) has been corrected.

Security

 * Deleting/anonymizing your account now has a 30d grace period which should prevent some trolls. If you log back into your account during this grace period, the timer will cancel and your account will no longer be scheduled for deletion. This change will trigger a new privacy policy version.
 * Added some anti-hack magic tricks.

Bug Fixes

 * Dead classes that completed their objective should now be able to win.
 * Neutral King should now be able to win.
 * Sellsword can now win.  If you’ve got what it takes, anyway ;)
 * Sorc’s Bomb Swap is no longer cancelable, fixing infinite bomb exploits. I’ll make a more-graceful fix later.
 * Generally fixed bugs that related to # of charges and abilities being enabled/disabled when they weren’t supposed to, especially for Day #1 abilities that were inconsistent from the others.
 * Fixed Reaper soul # syncs for what shows + is displayed (and is now scalable for future changes).
 * Reaper souls should now all show the same amount for every soul ability.
 * Reaper will now properly lose souls.
 * Reaper can now die at night when no souls are avail.
 * Abilities are now initially disabled before being enabled and are now temporarily delayed (~2s) before showing up for use, fixing a couple exploits.
 * Visual “Perspective bug” fixes for feedback (eg, target being swapped with “yourself”).
 * MVP panel should no longer skip. This was related to Sellsword not winning.
 * Neuts that have achieved their objective will now see their death message, once again.
 * Fixed some dupe winners shown in chat when there’s only 1 winner.
 * Reaped targets will no longer see their death message twice.

Quality of Life

 * Abilities now majestically fade in and out. Fancy AF.
 * Dark survey BG in lobby for less strain on the eyes to read the text.
 * Less spammy logs so we can see the good stuff easier.

Hotfixes

 * Neutrals should now win without NK and display properly as winning (preventing stalemates, causing the game to never end - and losses that should be wins).
 * Chinese region is now split when you select the locale (Chinese friends may now queue up normally – no need for private games! Use Discord for initial population gathering since it will start low).
 * Fixed some awkward English<>Chinese swapping button bugs that would sometimes only  partially  switch the locale.
 * Fixed weirdness with day abilities when you have 2 abilities (such as being able to still use Reaper abils after using them which would only drain the # of charges). Probably fixed more than just Reaper.
 * Should no longer display Neuts being Psycho King when they’re not when revealed as dead.

Quality of Life

 * Discord rich presence now shows your final class name and the portrait of that class when you’re at the end screen.
 * Added memo regarding King’s Decide Fate about eating Hunter Retribution arrow. This may change later. I added it @ Decide Fate, but will probably move it to Retribution next patch.
 * You can now see which region the room is hosting at the top of lobby rooms.

Hotfixes

 * Snowcrest event is live
 * Merc “Shield” charges now go away after successful use
 * Poacher can now speak with Unseen
 * Objective-based classes (eg, Inquisitor, Scorned) will now trigger the popup/win properly
 * Objective-based classes should now see proper feedback in chat when partially-completing objectives
 * Objective popup was unsatisfying and is now styled a bit
 * Fixed some visual vote messages for “yesterday” and “today” mixing up
 * Neutral Killers should now be able to win the way they’re supposed to
 * Pretender no longer stands on her chair in her night room
 * Fixed starting faction colors @ end screen
 * Exhume is no longer cancelable from the parent icon to prevent multi-use exploits (use the “x” at the popup)
 * Noble + Aristocrat are now  Royals, once again
 * Timesnatcher’s “Rewind” should now be working properly
 * Fixed multiple Trollbox exploits during Trial that had to do with a lingering popup box
 * Poisoned Wine is now usable at d4+ instead of d2+
 * Both Sorc abilities should be available now during trial
 * Several winning/game over fixes (needs more testing, but should be better than it was).
 * Prevent dupe classes in Winners header text, such as “Alchemist, Alchemist”
 * Send Selection fixes
 * Clarification: King takes arrow if you slam Hunter.  This is intended.
 * Probably more fixes that I forgot to write down.

 * Fixed Chinese UI issues where you couldn’t play or create a game.
 * Fixed some game over issues with winners and the winners display.

Class Notable Changes / Fixes / Balance

 * Observer’s “Follow” now [finally] works properly.
 * Fixed exploits that allowed for multiple uses (or allowed use of both abilities) in a single phase from, eg, the Reaper (although, with Reaper, we may add it back, one day, as a feature instead of a bug ʘ‿ʘ).
 * Classes and abilities are now templated (read: more consistency, easier to catch/fix broken things).
 * Fixed exploits that involved spamming multi-target buttons fast to allow for abnormal targeting.
 * When converted, players will now “finish” their ability (eg, you’ll get feedback).
 * The Chronomancer-induced “Delay death” icon will now vanish on transfer.

Minor Class Improvements/Fixes

Class Icon Changes
Some icons were updated (and more will be updated in future patches):
 * Marshal “Probe” ability icon changed! It’s always better.
 * Physician/Herbalist “Remedy Studies” ability icon has been changed (so it no longer 1:1 dupes “Inoculate”).
 * Physician “Inoculate” ability icon changed to better match “Remedy Studies”, and to be more creative than a different-hued similar icon.
 * Duchess “Dark Wisp” icon is now more vivid, but still… dark. Think Avatar.
 * Drunk/Alcoholic “Happy Hour” changed from an orange tsunami wave to a happy cold brew (not to be confused with coldbrew, the coffee, which powers me daily).
 * Drunk/Alcoholic “I Am The Liquor” passive changed from a muscle flex to ale within an ornate, ivory tusk.
 * Ritualist’s “Will of Mithras” icon was changed (it was matching a Mastermind abil).
 * “Snoop” journals now have a purple hue to them and moved to the top-left so it doesn’t block chat.

Class Card Fixes

 * In-game ability system back-end has been revamped: Class cards are now sync’d to in-game abilities. Eg, hovering over an abil should now show whatever you see in the class cards - always.
 * Class card full descriptions for “Link Minds” and “Conduit” now explicitly mention that the King  cannot  be targeted. (Suggested by  )
 * Fixed a couple class cards that had hover descriptions inadvertently swapped with full descriptions.

 * Clarified in the Fool’s class card “Deceive” abil that you will make yourself framed “to the Blue Dragon” tonight (opposed to anyone, which was incorrect).

More Quality of Life

 * Config window now removed upon launching. (Suggested by  )
 * Include IGNs in post-game chat. (Inspired by  )

 * Better avatar cropping/placement in the lobby.

 * Name selection input box is now scaled down to what the ~actual max length is to give you a better visual of how many max characters you can input.

 * Fixed Nightwatch’s “Watch Carefully” abil to reveal the class name in a styled faction color for consistency with other abilities instead of a “boring orange” (thx  ).
 * Physician’s n2 “Self Care” ability was missing sfx, now added in.
 * With 2-target abilities, selecting only 1 of the 2 targets will no longer show the ability as “active” (that teal background).

 * Cancelling an ability will no longer play the ability sfx again.
 * Fixed a few targeting exploits, mostly for abilities with 2 targets.

 * Misc tutorial fixes, mostly to do with targeting, UI alignment, and incorrect feedback.
 * Minor improvements to anti-hack techniques and shutdown a few exploits that allowed people with way too much time to annoy players. Not perfect: Waiting on our two 3rd-party service providers for their own sec updates (reported and following up).
 * Fixed the status text on emote customizations (informing about errors, etc) that wasn’t showing.
 * The “gray name” on disconnection now extends to the end screen (so you know when someone left).

Performance

 * Upgraded to Unity 2019, utilizing the new experimental Garbage Collection (GC); this means better performance/optimization! I can definitely notice a difference.
 * Less “spammy” logs that repeat often (logs take optimization juice).
 * Removed a countless number of “boxed” variables (Read: Improved performance).

Localization

 * Fixed the buggy toggle between EN<>中文
 * In-game hover abilities are now localized. There’s still a lot to be done, but this should greatly help!
 * In-game now has a bunch of new localizations in the UI.
 * A great deal of dynamic text has been localized.
 * Tons of corrections - thanks for the community effort!

Known New Bugs

 * There’s currently a bug with our text engine in Unity 2019.1: We’re currently using a workaround, which may sometimes cause extra line breaks if your chat is shrunk small. However, you probably won’t notice this. Unity says they’ll have a fix very soon.
 * Something is weird with the main archway textures: No point in delaying the patch for just this. I’ll hotfix it later.

2 Devs Join the Team!
To those that don’t look at Discord often, you may have missed the news:
 * Welcome our new Jr. Dev (who started this patch), TryphonX (part-time)! He’s already contributed a great deal this patch and has been a mod since the beginning before this~
 * Welcome our new Technical 3D Artist, Vini (part-time)! …Who has been revamping the graphics of the game (from the ground-up) and it looks absolutely incredible… but we can’t show you yet  we’ll leak some goodies to Discord when we get a full scene ready to show. We made sure to keep the scope reasonable so it won’t take too long to deliver.

Dev Note
''I essentially rewrote 20% of the game’s back-end: There will be bugs: Future patches won’t be as lengthy now that we have scalability. While there’s still more to scale (anything to do with “Gossip” and messaging type abilities), the hardest part is done - I’m going to take a scalability break''

Halloween
Yep, we’re almost ready! Keep an eye on Discord for event date info.

Discord
Worth mentioning, if you ever connection experience issues, type “.status” in our Discord’s #bot-spam channel to see if any module is experiencing an outage in realtime.

Win7 Returns
Thanks to Photon (our 3rd-party realtime game server)'s persistent effort to ensure we got Windows 7 support back,   now brings back Win7!

(We’re still testing v2.4 - Ran into a few snags, but it’s super close - see #test-realm-chat for more info)

Microsoft January 2020 Deprecation Reminder
''Although Windows 7 is now playable again, once Windows 7 is deprecated, we can no longer guarantee support for Windows 7:  Microsoft dropping security updates is a big deal  - this also means that our 3rd-party issue won’t be the only one that experiences this. Remember Windows XP (RIP)? It’s only a matter of time before Win7 gets left behind in the wind.''

We’ll unofficially support it for as long as we possibly can: As long as Throne’s required 3rd-party libraries support Win7, so will we.

Hotfixes to the Emergency Security Patch
I’ll port these fixes to v2.4 beta and we’ll try a beta test soon - as early as tomorrow 
 * Some users were unable to login due to “timeouts” at the login screen: This patch should help these users.
 * “Connecting…” bug fixed when you leave a game to queue again.
 * “TAB” was indenting way too far, caused by new default multipliers in Unity 2019 >> This should now equal 4 spaces.
 * Upgraded to the latest version of TextMeshPro, resolving a ton of misc text bugs.
 * If English is not your default system language, some localizations would show up as “SOME_TEXT_HERE” instead of the actual English fallback. Eg, if Turkish is your system language. This should be fixed (I hope - I can’t test it).

We’re essentially the test dummies for the security patch since it was, indeed, an emergency - so apologies for hotfix so soon!

This should be a pretty stable patch then we’ll go back to testing the big one.

Known Bugs
Welp, more Unity 2019 bugs. Sorry folks - I’ll bring the next hotfix to BETA testing first. It 100% worked in Unity, but not in the build.
 * 1) You can’t copy+paste chat
 * 2) Logs are white, for whatever reason.

Message from the Developer
Taking a step back from v2.4 -

Now that Mac/Linux has been sunset (Apologies folks, but it allowed this hotfix to happen):

''We had some annoying hacker games, lately: This was introduced by a vulnerability caused by our 3rd-party server. Luckily, they worked hard to deliver us a quick patch. While we can't stop all hacks, we'll try our best to secure them where we can.''

v2.3.0b LIVE

 * 1) Vulnerability fixes.
 * 2) More vulnerability fixes.
 * 3) Removed Streamer Mode (this was broken for so long).
 * 4) Support for Halloween (Moon Festival)  part 1  event - new Halloween/Anniversary (II) items can come next patch for pt2.
 * 5) Now using Unity 2019 (from 2018)
 * 6) Support for the new experimental Garbage Collection system with Unity 2019: Fast+Efficient

Requirements

 * Windows (64-bit) Only

New Runtime Requirement
Visual C++ Redist 2012 10

^ Most should already have this. I also asked Steam to include this now. If you get stuck @ login, try this link manually. And no, I don’t use VS2012  3rd-party lib.

Possible Bugs

 * We’re testing a downgraded version of our text engine to avoid the Unity 2019 bug we saw on the v2.4 test realm: Hopefully this goes away. The Unity dev for this is working on a fix as we speak, but I’m impatient

Priority Fixes

 * Fixed “Close Allies” ability that was showing as “visiting” when it shouldn’t have.
 * Fixed “Improved Safeguard” (the evil [Cult/Unseen] king version): You were originally only able to target the same person every other night - This was only meant for BD King (+clarified this in the class cards) so that he doesn’t just spam guard the Prince (that’d be pretty boring). That said, evil kings can now target the same player 2x in a row.
 * Fixed the report button at the end of the game.
 * Fixed the bug where you couldn’t copy from someone else’s logs.
 * Fixed private notes/logs bug where you couldn’t type inside or had weird interactions.

Mac Users

 * There’s currently a bug that doesn’t allow the middle player panel in a queue to display properly (Windows/Linux is fine) – I attempted a fix, but I have no idea if it will work. This shouldn’t affect the game (it’ll auto-start @ 16 players), but I do apologize for the annoyance.

Bug Fixes

 * Fixed Mystic/General tabs being 80% unclickable due to a hidden layer.
 * Hid the King’s “white box” nothing-abilities.
 * Fixed a specific bleeding text feedback that was not formatted.

Bug Fixes

 * Fixed infinite-collapsing UI caused by a faulty cam shake (bleed+death) that would temporarily mess up the camera.
 * Fixed “Queue as Group” that was not reserving slots for your friends.

Notable Bug Fixes / Improvements

 * Options freeze fixed, caused by an infinite-looping resolution (depending on your resolution options).
 * MVP aesthetics fixed (previously showing the literally-ordered top 3 as MVP).
 * “Queue as Group” has had a major back-end revamp to be faster and more reliable.
 * “Queue as Group” will no longer indefinitely freeze @ “Finding Group…” and now properly either A) Times out after 30s, or B) Times out earlier, if the leader is detected as disconnected.

 * Options “Detailed Feedback”, “Glossary Links” and “Ability Sfx” now match the correct setting and show properly (they were either mismatching or poofing).
 * @ Mac/Linux: Discord RPC (rich presence) issues may have been resolved. Let me know if you see details when you click on yourself to view your Discord status, if enabled in Discord settings!

Minor Bug Fixes

 * The new status icons (bleeding, etc) will no longer react to being clicked as if something happens when you click them.
 * Hovering of the top status icon (if 2 icons, such as Bleeding and Delayed Death) will no longer cause the icons to “spazz out”.

 * Slightly less lag when dragging chat.

 * Added the 2.2 promo art to the top-left Discord panel with subtle animations.
 * Friend list avatars have been centered (previously imbalanced) and added a border to look less “just pasted in there”.
 * Physician’s self heal now gives heal flash + heal sfx (instead of just a message that you healed yourself).
 * Added ability hover (subtle) and click sfx to main ability icons. About the targeting hover fx: Want this ultra subtle (similar to player list)? Or you like the clicks? Some say satisfying, some say annoying. Let me know in Discord #feedback-qol
 * Added hover colors for option dropdowns so they don’t all look disabled or frozen.
 * Players suspended during a live game (or in a lobby queue) will now immediately leave the room instead of wait up to 30 seconds to reveal the player left.
 * You may now add friends in Lobby by pressing ENTER (instead of just clicking the “+” button) after typing a name.

Bug Fixes

 * Invoker’s “Distract” now works as intended when used (previously doing nothing).
 * Fixed duped class card night tips.
 * Private games will now have all players (not just the host) show the loading screen earlier when the host starts and include a starting sfx (that should match what happens in a public game)

 * Guide button will no longer show if you’re not a Guide+.

 * There’s now also a message that mentions (in private games only) that MVP gold is only for public games.
 * You can no longer change your name while in a lobby queue.
 * Fixed a lobby bug that’s supposed to do something as soon as you enter --. This may have ripple bug fixes to other mechanics that I’m honestly not sure what.
 * “Done” button on credits screen no longer stacks with Quit button.
 * Numerous funky buttons now have a corrected/expected hover color/glow and some buttons should better reflect “disabled” when it’s supposed to look like you can’t click it.
 * Fixed the awkward spasms of the Lobby’s top-left promo banner.
 * “Send” button is now disabled in the lobby (main chat submit button).

Ability SFX BETA

 * Various sfx have been added with dynamic pitch shifting.
 * Every ability will have its own unique sfx when cast (to self).
 * Day abilities will have recipient(s) also hear the sfx, if they would normally know they were affected by an ability via chat. Recipient sfx are generic per type of ability used to prevent metagaming with sfx.
 * Dupe sfx? Boring? Annoying? Conflicting? Mismatching? Dupes? Unexpected? Mistimed? * Too loud? Too soft? Let us know in Discord #bugs or #feedback-qol ~
 * Added a new checkbox in “Options” to disable these new ability sound effects. Note that this only disables self-cast sfx and not if you’re a recipient (such as a day ability bleed target): For that, use the “Sound” volume slider.

Deathnote Polish

 * Hovering over a Deathnote will now change your sword cursor to a quill.
 * The quill cursor’s tip will be the same color as your selected color.
 * Dragging (drawing) on the deathnote will play “quill-drawing” sfx that will be randomly pitched and positioned, hopefully resulting in unique sounds each press. Holding the click but stop dragging should halt the sfx.

Other Quality Of Life

 * Players that left a room (lobby) or game for getting suspended by a mod will now show a message and play a smite sfx before they leave. If you see/hear this, there’s no need to report them after the game.
 * Hover sfx and some short sfx now has dynamic pitch shifting so they aren’t annoying.
 * Some hover sfx that is grouped and would normally be annoying (or satisfying, depending on your personality) now has an “ultra subtle” sfx hover sound with the above-mentioned pitch shifting.
 * Transition music between loading screen
 * Hovering over the player/voting/mvp panels now subtly highlights a dark cyan color (it previously felt disabled on hover).
 * Getting healed at night will now show an additional tip where it could’ve been a fake heal by an Herbalist.
 * Being the target of some detrimental abilities (or death) may cause a subtle cam shake.
 * Made one of the main hover sfx we previously had less annoying sounding and more subtle.
 * “Reveal Delete Account Button” in lobby options is now less scary: now auto-hides when you leave and re-enter.
 * Name selection and chat “Submit” buttons will be disabled until at least 2 characters are entered to more-intuitively clarify minimum chars.
 * Glossary book arrows were tiny gray buttons - most people probably had no idea there were more pages! Next/Prev buttons are now dominant and clear.
 * Reduced the size of the poison/death icon on portraits to be less bloaty.
 * Added shadow to loading tips for legibility.
 * Fixed misc typos and grammatical issues. Keep the reports coming!
 * Made personal status icons, such as bleeding, smaller and below the emote button.
 * Made many tooltips more-intuitively positioned.
 * New personal status icon: Delayed death.
 * Status tooltips – hover over your portrait when there’s a status ailment to see what it means (mostly for new players).
 * If you are a “Heathen”, you will still see the icon to remind you (or if you missed the day 1 message).
 * Trollbox “send” button will disable until you enter at least 1 character, and disable again at 0 characters.

 * Report deathnote button will now fade in/out a text with instructions on how to report (for now) until fully implemented.
 * Discord #justice (NSFW) channel will now reveal the # of warnings/suspensions the realtime suspended user has on-record.
 * Getting Merc Brilders (gold) now plays gold pouch sfx.

Art

 * The “Sheriff” portrait art has been improved to be more HD and less derpy looking :wink:
 * Pretender’s “Kinslayer” icon is now unique (formerly the same as the “Suicide” ability).
 * Assassin’s “Lacerate” icon no longer looks like the Cult Leader’s “Rupture” ability icon.
 * The old “Bleeding” status icon (in the portrait) was bland, so we revamped it.
 * In-game portraits and icons were originally set darker than the originally- intended tone and would only set normal tones when highlighted: They now start at normal color tone and glow brighter when highlighted.
 * Upgraded the moon icon to look more… moonly.

Performance+Stability

 * Significantly reduced the amount of memory the game uses, which could also indirectly help loading times.
 * Beta testing new audio import settings. Most memory/time loading comes from music – this should consume significantly less memory and load faster. Please report issues/inconsistencies to Discord #bugs.
 * Optimized all textures with DXT1 format for better performance.
 * Optimized all sounds and music for better performance.
 * Reduced the amount of network polling (heartbeat) to pretty much 0.
 * Friends will now automatically notify YOU for updates instead of you asking the server every x seconds.
 * Friend updates for core activities will now directly update the status of that single friend (within 0~5s) instead of refreshing the entire list every 15s. This should especially improve performance if you have a large friends lists.
 * You can now force a friends refresh via a new icon on friends list every 60s (like if your friend insists they’re online and shows them as offline). If you need to use this, you may also want to report this to Discord #bugs.
 * Switched from UDP to TCP protocol to prevent desyncs and ensure the order of events is sequenced as intended. For example, UDP processes whatever data arrives first (faster) while TCP waits for the original order (reliability is prioritized over speed).We will be beta testing TCP to see if we experience less desyncs (disconnects / empty thrones).
 * When you change “scenes” (like Lobby to In-Game), there is now more reliability that data will be sync’d and not lost, which should prevent some weirdness around the loading screen that sometimes occurs.

Bug Hunt: Options Freeze

 * There’s currently an options bug that freezes some folks. However, only a few people experience this and I cannott reproduce it. I need your help! If you freeze when you click options, we now have added a bunch of logs to help show what leads up to this freeze. Please DM Xblade#4242 in Discord with your logs (type ?logs in Discord for instructions).

Dev Blog

 * I received some feedback that players enjoy reading about “the little changes”, too. While I can’t always list all of them, I’ll try my best, starting here :slight_smile: Unlisted updates, such as cloud (patchless) updates, can often be found in Discord #news.
 * Despite what it may look like, this is not a mere quality of life patch: With a vast number of overdue bug fixes inside, the QoL features are to help me catch up on in-game events now that I have taken over this role. The main reason for some of these features is not because it’s out of the blue, but to make catching up on code actually useful: Balance content sounds nice, but it’s like having spilled milk on the ground just moving it around instead of soaking it up. Bug fixes are first required before we continue with balance. I did the quill feature to catch up on how deathnotes work. The sound to see when events should trigger as they should through hundreds of thousands of lines of code. The ban message is to catch up on the complex messaging system. Instead of just studying code, I’m getting something out of each area. This is actually how Throne of Lies started! I was learning Unity, so wanted to make a small game that suddenly scaled and ended up how it is today :slight_smile: With 15+ years of dev experience, it doesn’t take long for me to adapt to new dev roles and hopefully this patch demonstrates this.
 * So, about balance later: I’ll soon organize a balance panel on Discord to start discussing this and ensure transparency. I believe the December’s unfavored patch was due to the lack of transparency with the community. As the new lead dev, I believe transparency is extremely important when it comes to the core mechanics of the game being changed. However, mentioned above, the next couple patches will first concentrate on bug fixes, quality of life, consistency, localization, and better onboarding – which should benefit both new and old players. Class bug fixes will also indirectly impact balance without being too dramatic. The tutorial is something that also needs an improvement, soon: From feedback, it seems that veterans prefer new players being more knowledgeable over balance content, anyway, to prevent RNG-like experiences whenever we have bursts of new players. New players that know what they’re doing will help everyone. I look at the #feedback channels on Discord all the time - feel free to contribute your ideas to help weigh my direction!
 * I also noticed that the tips (loading + class) and ability descriptions are either awkwardly-worded, dated, inconsistent, or just plain confusing: I’ll be working with the community to find the best way to word these and add/replace some tips/descriptions/wording, hopefully by next patch. Let me know in Discord if you notice something poorly written that should 100% be changed (and with a suggestion).
 * (Pre-Alpha) Translations are coming soon: Don’t worry, English is still a requirement for the main server queues. However, the UI and class cards can optionally be translated later so you can at least learn in your local tongue and private matches can be localized. If enough players join our Discord global channels, we’ll add a separate queue for that language! Chinese will arrive first (I live in Taiwan – we already have reach here). Translations will also help English queues, too, as players can LEARN in their own, native language which should speed up the time it takes to understand the deeper game mechanics. Read: non-native English speakers will learn the game faster.
 * I would also like a long-term side focus on 3D art consistency and improvements: Both aesthetically and graphically. I don’t mean on a small scale, either: I mean something incredible. One of these days, down the road… prepare for something amazing.

 * Numerous  class card typos, bad tips, grammar, etc – fixed.
 * Added ability for devs to swap regions without a patch if servers go unstable
 * You will no longer auto-switch regions upon temporary outages (which would cause infinite queue times if the outage only lasted a few seconds - it wouldn’t bring you back to the default region where everyone else is).

Quality of Life

General
(King spawn rates are being changed to try to reduce the whisper King meta. I know some people like to think that the best approach is just to remove whispering the King, but that’s like complaining your food is cold so you set it on fire. You’re just gonna end up with a completely different problem.)
 * Evil King spawn chance has been increased to 40%.
 * Your title is now shown in-game. You have the option of hiding your title in-game and just showing Squire instead. There is also the option in the lobby settings to hide all titles.
 * Your avatar is now shown at the end screen.

Minor Class / Ability Changes
Alchemist: (Removing Coagulate is being done to reduce the advantages of outting yourself as Alchemist. Since it’s being removed they’ll regain a use of Stoneskin to help from attacks at night.) Assassin: (Since Distract was buffed last patch, I felt it needed to be put in line with the other limited use Assassin abilities.) Chronomancer: (Will allow the Chronomancer some more combos.) Fool: The current punishment has been moved to only those that vote to execute and the old punishment was added back in to supplement it. This way both factions are more evenly effected by the Fool.) Inquisitor: (People were just outting each other as Heathens, so that had to go.) Observer: Scorned: (Scorned’s gonna have like a 10% win rate now, but maybe people shouldn’t have been outting themselves Day 1 because all they care about is winning. It’s like they say, “Given the opportunity, players will optimize the fun out of a game.”) Sorcerer: Bug Fixes:

 * Increased Stoneskin uses to 2.
 * The number of Distract uses left now transfers over to new Assassins.
 * Distract uses increased to 3.

 * All neutrals are now exempt from being Heathens.
 * Heathens no longer know who each other are.
 * Can no longer Follow King. Couldn’t see the King’s visits anyways.
