Beans! Hello there, tis I, your friendly neighbourhood Bee.
It's been a couple of weeks since my last update to ya other than our small content updates and tweaks, and the team have been busy as heck!
Squads Overqualification Bug (Temporary Uno Reverse of the other bug)
I am totally aware this still creates a considerably unpredictable experience for you all and - we have let the team know that this fix expands past just 7th/8th to Qualify, and is far more present than before, and the knock-ons into finals - but it is very temporary. We currently have the full fix for Squads being tested and it looks likely to roll out with our mid-season update. We are awaiting on a few other contingencies before we can let you know the date for this mid-season update.
Main Show Weighting
We tweaked, we tweaked some more, we brought royal fumble back way too much for 24 hours, then we tweaked again. Where we are right now is a main show that averages longer, but has less team games. There is still very split discussion on this but we are going to look into it over the next week and look at a change with mid-season that perhaps eliminates more players, but still doesn't cause an abundance of team games. This is still an open discussion so do feel free to leave feedback in the thread below - we've seen the posts of 8-Round games and that is a bit too much! But I am still keen on seeing more and more opinions on what feels right here to help the team in their future adjustments. :)
Grabbing, physics, holding, collisions
Still in active investigation, I can't provide you a tangible update nor timeframe for this right now but there will certainly be some tweaks with the mid-season - it is all still actively being worked on and tested so it isn't as clear cut as the above. The physics things never are unfortunately. Keep on sending us information to support.fallguys.com! There isn't really such things as 'fixing' physics, but, there is improving and making it feel more natural and correct. The team are looking at all of this, from forceful collisions, to changes to dive-grabbing, to batteries flying out of hands, the works - so I hope that explains why I can't give anything more concrete here.
Missing SFX
Plinth Celebration and Hanging Guy Celebration have been split separately from our Trello ticket as the fix for them is now pending. HUZZAH! What does the Plinth sound like? We shall know soon.
Round Over is still in investigation and we should know more about that soon - we all miss the boom, I know.
Invisible Fan on Freezy Peak!
This is now in Fix Pending, too! Bye fan, nobody liked you.
Squads In General
I have passed feedback on to the team about show frequency in Squads (SS is super frequent, leavers mean team game finals are rare, etc) - and we will be taking a look. This should change with mid-season anyway. Adding new maps to Squads is not as simple as it might seem, but we're constantly looking at how we do it.
We have had an issue with disconnects at the start of squads - if any of you watch our Tuesday Mediatonic streams, poor Oliver was totally unable to join us (we did win without him though - 3 person squad team W humblebrag sorry), and we have had a lot of reports of this. This is in Fix Pending now, huzzah!
That is the top-of-mind ones for me, but there are a few more changes and tidbits in ye ol' Trello: https://trello.com/b/mJEAmorl/fall-guys-public-issue-tracker
Thank you all for reading!!
OH HERE COME'S MY BUG REPORTING SHPIEL (but you're all doing great at that thank you)
*_*_*_* SUPPORT SPIEL *_*_*_*_*
Do you have an issue to report? 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!
I am always happy to discuss issues and do what I can here, but it is not my primary function and I am nowhere near as clued up as our support team on technical issues, and do not have the account visibility they do :).
