Oh hey beans.

Here's the new content and fixes coming with the release today. Expect some instability for the next few hours whilst the release is pushed until we confirm it's up and stable on our channels. It isn't formally out yet.

Full patch notes including new content:

Season 4 Rounds

  • Skyline Stumble - Our new 60-player gauntlet showcases a mega assortment of fresh futuristic obstacles, including Low Gravity Zones, Forcefields and Lasers!
  • Hoverboard Heroes - Set sail for slimy seas as players dive and stumble over perilous obstacles. Ride out the chaos on the hoverboard ‘til the finish line or face elimination!
  • Basketfall - Team up to shoot some hoops in low gravity. This is the Fall Guys future, so prepare for a very silly number of basketballs...and triple hoops!
  • Short Circuit - A new type of racing Round drops beans on the grid and propels them through lap after lap of gravity-defying, obstacle-strewn mayhem!
  • Power Trip - Stumble onto the future-funk dancefloor and light up those tiles in a battery-powered battle for disco domination!
  • Big Shots - Ever wondered what it’d be like to stand on a See Saw while inflatable stars, magnets, gamepads, and miniature Saturns were shot at you? Well, now you’ll know.
  • Roll On - It’s Roll Out...but a race!? In this classic themed Round, 60 players dash to the finish line over a series of rambunctious rotating drums. Don’t fall off!

New Feature: Squads Mode! Qualify together as a Squad of 4, with your whole Squad claiming victory if any of you win the final Round!
New Round Type: Squad Race. Score points for your squad by crossing the finish line- The higher your position, the more points you earn! The lowest scoring Squads get eliminated, so every Squad member’s performance matters!

New Round Type: Squad Survival Score points for your squad by staying out of the slime! The lowest scoring teams get eliminated, so try to target other squads and throw them off their game!

New Feature: Daily Challenges Log in each day to receive new Challenges to earn bundles of Fame and Crown Shards!

New Currency: Crown Shards Earn 60 Crown Shards to transform them into a shiny new crown! Collect Shards through Challenges and Squads, and check your balance in the Show Selector screen.

Character Improvements:

  • Sturdier Beans We’re improved our Fall Guys to be more sturdy when taking hits both from other players. No more ragdolling just because another bean brushed you in mid-air!
  • Fixed some ragdolling and excessive jumping issues in some rounds, for example unrelenting ragdolling on Hex-A-Gone after colliding with another Fall Guy
  • Fixed errors related to ledge-climbing in some levels like Wall Guys, such as Sweat animations failing to play, and inability to climb a ledge when a flipper is present.
  • Increased physics performance for distant players, leading to an overall smoother experience
  • Improved character behaviour when carrying objects around

Post-elimination flow: you can now quit at any time after being eliminated, no more waiting for the next round to load

UI Improvements:

  • Fixed text displaying that 40 players are needed to start a game on playlists with restricted numbers (I.E Hex-a-Gone Trials)
  • Fixed 16/15 eliminated showing on Thin Ice
  • Fixed the Qualified element not reducing in value when a player becomes eliminated during Slime Climb

Other fixes and improvements:

  • Fall Mountain will now spawn players in a single line so no one is at a disadvantage
  • Improved victory moment and flow at the end of episode
  • Reduced network traffic usage which should alleviate some of the latency-related issues
  • Fixed Fall Guy clipping through the yellow conveyor belt section and getting stuck on Slime Climb
  • Improved hoops scoring reliability and fixed cases such as scores failing to update on Ski Fall
  • Fixed visual post-processing issues in certain cases like spectating or rotating the camera at some angles
  • Fixed Fall Guy respawning twice on the platform next to the mountain peak after falling into the abyss on Freezy Peak
  • Fixed invisible Hex-A-Gone tiles in both spectator mode and during normal play
  • Fixed multiple players respawning in the same spot on Ski Fall
  • Fixed post-processing flickering and missing Fall Guys X-Ray outline when a player grabs a carriable object within close proximity to a wall
  • Fixed poor performance in the Outfits menu when browsing with many items available
  • Fixed flickering clouds on Perfect Match
  • Fixed disqualification on Door Dash after players yeet over the finish line into oblivion
  • Fixed camera pivoting backwards after a user has respawned in Knight Fever
  • Fixed Checkpoint not triggering in Tundra Run if a Fall Guy is punched high enough into the air
  • Fixed number of players qualifying exceeding the qualification limit in all race-type Rounds
  • Fixed invisible mid-air collisions when a Fall Guy hit by the flippers during Knight Fever
  • Fixed Fall Guy with equipped costume showing as the default bean during an episode
  • PS4: Fixed the blurred surrounding area of a Fall Guy on PS4 Pro
  • PS4: Fixed memory issues on Base PS4 when opening the Customiser with all cosmetics unlocked
  • PS4: improved performance and stability in the menus and on certain rounds
  • PC: Fixed 'Back' and 'Random' buttons not working in the Customiser menus with the mouse

Happy falling! Also it isn't in the patch notes officially but it's a nice touch - the starting screen has been minified and loading the game up is faster.

Wait a little while - I'd check back in about an hour and the show modes should be fully formed, with the ability to play some Squads! :-)

The physics seem amazing! Much less stumbling already, wow. Also loving the new Skyline Tumble, the chaos is incredible. Great job!

I think it feels awesome too! I snuck into some Roll On a second ago and it just played super, duper well for me. Thanks so much and will pass to the team!

Is there no skin pack planned for this season? Was kinda looking forward to that.

Also about the crown shard challenges, will they be leaning more towards the basics such as "qualify X times" or "get to final X times" or will we see more of a "win squads X times ", basically is the approach more casual so that you get shards by simply playing whatever you want or is it like, damn I gotta do X to ge tthis challenge done? weird question but im curious

By Skin Pack you mean DLC yeah? Absolutely! Stay tuned on that, because they are awesome.

Great question about Challenges! There is a real mix in there for sure :) and some are indeed specific! We'll have to see over time if the balance is there, etc. Gotta be a mix of low and high friction challenges to keep it interesting.

Thank you for this! Pushing out new code is a terrifying ordeal that just 1000% comes with bugs and haters and dopes, but the way you and your team take feedback, improve the game and manage expectations are all first class! You deserve all of the continued success behind this brilliant game.

Thanks a billion for the kind and empathetic words. Release day is hard on any development team and messages like this make us so happy!

From What I've noticed so far there, seems to be some issue with season 4 progress bar, i still can see the season 3 one...

No worries, that can be confusing when we're in this "almost released, but not fully" stage. That should refresh in roughly 40 minutes, and show the full S4 progress bar, famepath, and the text saying Season 3 should change :)

Super pumped for Season 4! Looking like the best season yet so far, and considering how much I liked Season 3 that is quite an achievement!

HAPPY CAKE DAY! What a good day to have a cake day!!! Thanks for the kind words, hope you love it!

Bummed cos short circuit makes me feel ill.

I'm not the best playtester as I had to stop gaming in my late teens. Throwing up all the time is really, really bad for your health.

I can only play Trials Rising & Fall Guys.

Could you let me know some more details about this over DM? I'd like to flag still.

I think placing the Challenges tab on the left side makes the main menu feel a bit too crowded/claustrophobic now. Maybe the upper right would be a better spot for it?

We'll take a look at UI improvements in the future for that for sure (this is the second comment I've had with this suggestion so far, am keepin a check). Will encompass the "upper right" suggestion in the feedback I compile later today!

:( No mention of PS5 update, why? The game looks very blurry on PS5 and I hoped the new season would give us some next-gen resolution upgrade :(

Are there at least plans for that?

Yeah for sure it's something we're looking at but it's taking some time. It's difficult because different people are seeing different things on their PS5s but it is something we are checking out, just haven't had an update for it this season.

This, alongside the Hammers at the end of FALL MOUNTAIN are back but shouldn't be. That has been raised to the team!

edit: Corrected misnaming of a round

Will we ever be able to sort/save our outfits? Scrolling through like 100 tops to find the one I want is annoying.

Yes hopefully improvements on that are on the horizon, it is extremely in demand. No timeline on it yet but it's a priority.

Just completed a squad show and for some reason my level 1-6 fame rewards are skipped :((

How am I supposed to unlock them?

The team are investigating this issue as I type. It seems pretty widespread. No updates just yet but it's a fresh issue.

Ragdolling is a little better. Can no longer climb ledges. Played Wall Guys twice and I’d fall immediately after grabbing a ledge/block

Have reported this to the team. Curious - are you using the region selector or have high ping? We have another report of this for a player with high ping. It shouldn't happen regardless but seeing if there's a pattern.

Squad modes still seem to be behaving very weirdly. Every single time I've tried to get in the game, the count gets up to about 36, occasionally even 40, but then it starts dropping and once it starts going down it never goes up again. I've seen the count drop before, but in other modes the server finds new players to fill up. In squad mode, once it starts going down, it seems to never recover.

Yeah there's some strangeness afoot with that at the moment, the team are looking at that at the moment. Have sent this information on in the meantime.

I like the new physics, the previous one was horrible. I noticed little bug on season 4. If you use "new quit system" on the game. You got no rewards. my progress stuck on fame level 6-8. i can get new rewards. but previous ones still locked.

This has been raised! :)

Hi Bee, I have a question about Roll On. Does it prevent Roll Off from showing up as a final, similar to how Roll Out does so?

Hey, great question. Not sure, have just asked!

Wow I'm loving the update. Everything from the new music, colours and aesthetic to the level design is great! Thanks devs!

The team have put an incredible amount of work into this update (and still goin as we speak! No update is without a few hitches haha!)

Thank YOU for taking the time to tell us we did great! :)

It has happened twice that I was playing squad mode and it said that I was quaflified but then I was eliminated.

Did you personally qualify, and then the rest of your squad do not-so-well?

Originally posted by yakuzadevsaresadists

I think the squad mode queue is broke? Haven't been able to get into a game for awhile now. It gets to 35/60 players, then it just drops after sitting there for awhile and never gets above 10/60 players.

This is actively being investigated. Which server or region are you currently on, if you know?

Originally posted by minermb

I don't remember but both times it said at the end of the round that we were qualified, but I wasn't in the next round.

RIGHT, that doesn't seem right at all. Sorry to send you round the shops but if you could let support.fallguys.com know using the online ticket system that'd be awesome (the reason I ask you to do this, and not just me pass the information over, is they may wish to look into your game logs to see what happened exactly)!

So we have tried two different regions. US East and Korea. We figured Korea would be best bet since we didn't see a Japan server and US East was our next try after Korea never filled.

Both are having the same issue.

Thanks for the detail, that is really helpful. I've passed this over for the team to consider whilst they keep investigating.

You got rid of the hammers at the end of Fall Mountain? How come?

It was a little while ago, but basically the hammer knock was impacting ability to grab the crown - even a graze I believe!

Am I tripping or is there no vibration when you step on tiles in Hex-A-Gone? (I’m on PS4)

Not tripping, something seems to have happened with the vibration sensitivity. It's been raised as a known issue, but we've got a couple of super pressing things we've investigating before this one!

Yep!

Just to update you. I was able to play the other new levels without any issue. Just Short Circuit, from being more like a kart racing game, and the length of time to complete the track.

Thanks for the additional information. I am glad to hear it, though still sad a level is causing you issues in the meantime.

Told you guys two times so far. The German translation for the lower outfit is wrong.
You are looking for "UNTEN". The word you used is "SENKEN" which translates to "to sink".

Just saying it again because it seems you read the comments here. Love the update!

I have gone ahead and sent this rigggght over to the team! Top and SINK. Oh dear. Thanks for letting me know (again!)

I hope this gets seen.

One question I have is if there could be an option to click on challenges so it pops up on the screen zoomed in, like the newsfeed does. I play on console and I have to walk to my tv and stand by it to read the challenges.

With that said, oh my goodness this season is amazing. The theme and the music. The physics!! The creativity with the levels and implementing features we’ve been asking for. See-through arms and 2-1 costume with among us. You all deserve a vacation for all the hard work.

Hey 😊 it's been seen! Thanks for that feedback that's a really great suggestion. I'll make sure to suggest it to the team.

Is is true that specially the acceleration of the beans have been nerfed significantly?

I is just me, or is the whole feel of the beans' physics changed. I feel like I have never played this game before. All of my intuition is out of calibration.

I don't know about it being specifically acceleration, what do you mean in that context?

I do know that in general, stability and physics changes can indeed feel super strange at first and knock on into all sorts so whatever you're feeling wouldn't necessarily be incorrect!
