Hotfix v0.8.1 Patch Notes

8 View2023-08-27

Hey NIGHTFALL gamers! Developers did a short meet before today's SSU to patch a few issues causing advantages, disadvantages, and general issues in game that made it unfair for certain players, while also doing some quality of life changes. Here are the hotfix patch notes for August 26th.

Updated rules & rule enforcement

We have updated our rules list and how we enforce these rules. The new rules are 1. No tunneling 2. No breaking blocks in lobby 3. Follow killer power rules and 4. unauthorized entry into the Dev Space/Mansion is now strictly prohibited

After the developers completed their special developer mansion to chill in after SSUs and discuss changes, we noticed many players intentionally and unintentionally breaking into it because they thought it was funny or they were being too curious. Now, in order to prevent any more "accidents", we have mandated that for new players, they are required to formally agree to the rules before entering the lobby.

For older players, we are reiterating on our rules verbally the next time they come to an SSU. We are also heavily emphasizing on our prohibitions regarding sprinting as killer, sprint jumping as survivor, and abusing bugs for advantages in game.

Now, for our new rule enforcement, people abusing bugs intentionally or violating the rules they formally agreed to will result in one warning before a kick. Repeated violation after that will result in a ban, temporary OR permanent.

For in game rule enforcement, players will be given 2 warnings if they are sprinting as Killer, using illegal techniques as either side, or sprint jumping as survivor. On the third violation, they will lose 50% of their XP for that game. Fourth violation, they get no XP, and fifth violation will result in a Kick.

Witch's Woods

We have patched a bug on Witch's Woods that allowed players to climb the vines on the jungle trees as a technique to hide from the Killer or escape chases. This was an illegal technique. If you notice a spot that is not barrier'd, report it so we can quickly fix it. The vines are still usable for amusing strategies/jukes, but players can no longer go all the way to the top.

Mineshafts

We added barrier blocks to one of the block loops to strengthen survivor chase/mobility on the Mineshafts.
