There's an issue that visually removes your coins when you get the Free Halloween Goodies Pack, they remain on your account, restarting will show them back again

There was an error earlier, it should now be available in your shop if you buy the Halloween Witches Pack, if you don't see that option in your shop, restart the game and it should appear

Should be fixed for matches starting now

-Earlier today when the Shop was updated there was an issue with 2 melee weapon skins being sold separately for the same price as the packs that included them (1000 coins), some people may have bought one of these and then the corresponding pack, in situations like that, those affected will be given 1000 coins back and they will own the contents of the pack, which includes the weapon that they bought separately (if you have been affected by this you should not need to contact us, it will be done on our end).

-Note that if you see your coins going down to 0 after getting the Free Halloween Goodies Pack, that is only a visual problem, restarting the game is a current way to fix it.

Sorry, it should be fixed now.

Gameplay

• Fixed an issue with zoom sometimes not correctly disengaging upon switching weapons when the settings "Reset zoom toggle when switching weapons", "Switch fov and mouse weapon-settings as soon as bind as pressing" and "Toggle zoom" were all enabled. Thank you to ffslight for the report.
• Fixed an issue with the "Switch fov and mouse weapon-settings as soon as bind as pressing" option not returning to your current weapon’s settings when switching to another weapon and cancelling that switch by pressing the current weapon’s keybind, before the full switch had been completed. Thank you to namastex for the report.

Which options do you have enabled, could you screenshot your Settings-weapons-general and other pages if you have custom weapon settings?

Gameplay

• When the match is unpaused there is no longer a momentary freeze when player control is meant to be returned.

Editor

• Decals can now be ordered to set which show up above and below relative to each other. Select a decal and in the Editpad’s Properties menu-Visuals category there will be an “order” option which accepts the range of -10000 to 10000 (something with order 2 will appear above order 1).

Netcode

Visual changes

• Fixed an issue causing the game to sometimes display impact effects on failed shots, giving the player the impression that a shot landed but failed to register.

HUD

• The threshold to display the lagometer when the option "Only when lagging" is checked has been significantly lowered in order to better reflect the state of the network and help us troubleshoot issues from user-contributed clips.
• The lagometer now has a red background to indicate lag starting at a lower level of severity.

COR stands for "corrective measures" and indicates to the player that corrective measures are in place in order to stabilize the experience for others.

At the moment if everyone that wants to play, adds the map files in their C:/Program Files/Epic Games/Diabotical/maps folder (create it if it doesn't exist) it's possible for the host to open UDP port 32123 on a router, then create a custom game, type the command in the console /lobby_custom_map mapname then change a setting like duration back and forth, select the datacenter Direct/Public IP and start the game, to play that map with people in your custom game

At the moment the game is planned to only be available on the Epic Games Store.
