SEASON 5! The update will be reaching you over the next few hours. Thanks so much for your patience whilst we rolled this update out. It's been a marathon!

You'll see that today is the first day that Squads has been replaced with our new mode, DUOS! I am really excited about duos so let me know what you think!!!

https://preview.redd.it/zogqot1kubc71.png?width=1372&format=png&auto=webp&s=501350e3860f76c1e2071bf5531263570eccf204

Here's the new features and improvements again:

Six New Rounds

  • Treetop Tumble - Take branching routes in a scramble to the finish. Filled with perilous Log Swings and Expanding Frogs (yes, seriously). Who knows where your choices will take you?
  • Stompin’ Ground - What happens when the beans wander into rhino territory? Well, prepare to find out! Dash, dive and dodge in a hectic escape from three mechanical Rhinos. Good luck!
  • Lost Temple - Our most ambitious Round to date...and it’s a new final! Navigate the shapeshifting Lost Temple where the elusive path to the Crown is ever-changing.
  • Lily Leapers - Bounce to the bean rhythm of Lily Leapers. Keep your head on a swivel for that perfect landing as you conquer each layer by leaping from drum to drum.
  • Bubble Trouble - Bubble Trouble is a five-way arena bout that’s all about rapid-fire beans and bubble poppin’ dreams! Scurry between obstacle-filled active zones to collect your way to glorious qualification.
  • Pegwin Pool Party - Zoom down zippy slides and grab those pesky Pegwins. The longer you cling on, the more points you’ll gain. We hope you’ve got a good grip!

Limited Time Events

Bringing a whole new way to conquer the Blunderdome, ‘Limited Time Events’ brings players special short-duration Challenges with the chance to win points and unlock unique cosmetic rewards! This is a totally new format for us and we hope this will be a great way to earn cosmetics in the future.

Squad enhancements

The team will continue to experiment with new ways to play together with Squads mode, including limited-time Duos and Trios Shows throughout Season 5 - and we've also added a shiny new leaderboard to show you how your squad is doing!

Improvements:

  • Performance enhancements across multiple Rounds
  • More stable connectivity during the countdown phase of Round introductions
  • Camera sensitivity adjustment is now available for both axis
  • Better netcode interpolation; should mean visuals appear smoother and more responsive for remote players
  • Egg physics have been improved
  • Character: improvements to mantling onto ledges at high latency
  • The active player indicator will now move without jitter

Bug Fixes

  • Squads: Lobby numbers should no longer start declining from 39/40 or force players to re-queue
  • Fixed issue with some Challenges not awarding Crown Shards properly
  • Multiple achievements were failing to unlock, these should now be resolved
  • Improvements to end of Round rewards flow stability. Shows no longer hang in some situations
  • Fixes to cosmetic display bugs, including Costumes and Emotes
  • Big Fans: players can no longer jump off the map
  • Royal Fumble: players no longer able to climb invisible platform
  • Hoverboard Heroes: players could get stuck at a point on the map; now fixed
  • Optimised certain Rounds to prevent memory crashes on PS4
  • Skybox rendering issues on PS4 have been fixed
  • Certain Season 4 Rounds had flashing lights which could cause issues for some of our photosensitive players, this situation has been improved

I shall be here all day catching queries and answering things!!!! hi! :)

PLS REPORT BUGS TO SUPPORT AS WELL!!!! pls

Our Support Team is the best way to get these looked at in detail, and the best way to keep these logged from our side. Here's the direct link to filing a ticket that bypasses a few pages on the Help site: https://support.fallguys.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

You can do it even if you're not sure if you're experiencing an actual issue (i.e, your game crashes a lot, you aren't sure if it's your computer or the game). We'd rather check it out and confirm that nothing strange is going on, than not have a report at all!

Support can take a look and check your set-up and advise - I have flagged to them but they will need to check your rig over and see what the issue might be. Sorry that its happening!

Likely a lot of players currently downloading the updates and not in the game, meaning matchmaking will take a while. (Also check you've updated the game your side!)

actually, it's for all emotes. i just tried it and for all of them, the sound plays half a second after the animation is finished. my friends who are on ps4 don't have this issue. i'm on ps5.

I'll add those details in - that is very peculiar - I'll also double check on PC

i'm still levelling and the game says i have just under two hours. i'll actually HAVE that time to level, right? i'm so, so, so close to being done. it'll be pretty frustrating if i get cut off before the timer actually finishes.

It actually refreshes in 40 minutes - the timer is not accurate!

So, I can only spectate my own teammates [update: while they haven't qualified/eliminated] in Squad Mode? Is that intentional? I'm not sure that I like it, but okay.

Are you saying you aren't able to spectate any other players other than your team in squads? I don't think that is intended.

Yes, only while my teammates are still in. After they've qualified / been eliminated, I can spectate other players.

I mean, it's okay for most rounds, but I'd want to see our opponents in Hex-a-Gone as well.

I will definitely pass it on - I don't think it was intended but will check.

I can't move my cam at all normally, even worse, all my inputs are delayed when i press any key or move my camera the action takes place 1,5 seconds after. The game is unplayable. Even the mouse inputs in menu look lagged and delayed. I hope it will get back to normal because I really enjoyed playing and now i can't play anymore. EDIT: I play on PC.

We added new functionality to the cameras and this might be an offshoot of that - please let support know here: https://support.fallguys.com/hc/en-us/

I will still flag but they'd want to see how it looks on your POV and see your settings!

hey bee sorry i'm so late with this, but it turns out all of the sounds are delayed, not just emotes. jump sounds, countdown sounds, the sounds of people getting pushed off of the big qualify screen, everything.

Thanks - will add that, also asking a colleague with a PS5 to double check for us to see if it is reproducible. Menu sounds and UI before you get into a game all sound normal?

Hello, idk what should I screenshot. Game looks normally but all my inputs (jump, move, camera) are delayed and makes the game unplayable. I would like to screenshot my setting but idk where to send the ticket regarding this on the website you linked.

Play a game, then follow these instructions: https://support.fallguys.com/hc/en-us/articles/360018312019-Where-can-I-find-my-player-logs- and send that over to support - don't worry about the settings for now then, just report the problem and send the logs for now.

This makes me anxious. I usually move the camera to make sure that I have the focus on the game just before the round starts. I have two screens, so I frequently do something else on the second screen between rounds. When I can't move the camera it means the focus is on another program.

This is being looked into. I've passed your feedback on and sorry that it's happening!

Yes, it's the same in Duos, I can only spectate my teammate while he's in, and LB/RB do nothing but a sound.

EDIT: I'm playing with randoms, in case it matters.

I have returned. It turns out this is indeed intended, linked to the leaderboard! How has it been for you other than feeling weird in comparison to how it used to be? Will pass on feedback.

Not exactly related to season 5, but any word on what the fix will be for the missing neo-classic top? I assume the shop rotation is all laid out for at least the first few weeks of season 5, is it just going to go into the regular shop rotation at some point?

Your assumption is right! Just waiting to hear when it'll go into the regular rotation :)!

Just to double confirm, you can't quit when the word "ELIMINATED" is on screen? And during the part where fall guys fall off and are eliminated between rounds?

I gamble a guess: Shouldn't providing a full game of options and variations lead to a substantial number of new players, especially during the launch of a new season? I think it might even lead the old people to come back to it. But it requires trust, first of all in the value of one's work and consequently in the fact that people will want to play with it. Really multiple team options at the same time, now that random crossplay is on, would that create substantial queuing problems?

We're happy to try more things but sometimes it isn't that simple! That said, here is what I relayed to another commenter:

I’m sorry but the fact that you guys didn’t anticipate it to begin with is somewhat concerning

Just how out of touch are you with your player base?

There are also lots of regions and player types still enjoying this new mode as well, and it is a limited time! Experimenting is important and we do play the game a lot (I certainly do), but not all players enjoy the same things and dislike the same things - it just isn't that simple.

Does anyone know if any old rounds that previously weren't in squads have been added to it? Such as Ski Fall or Short Circuit. I think I read something about that being worked on, but I don't see it in the patch notes (but they are not always complete).

They aren't there yet! It needs further work but we are still looking into it, the team are aware of those two being highly requested as well.
