This is a dishonest reply. There's a difference between a rare bug that happens 1 out of every 10,000 players and since millions of people are playing it is impacting 10's of thousands of people, and stuff that is inexcusably broken 100 times out of 100 and the update getting pushed live anyway.
But there are still changes outside of that which we're going to make going forward, so your feedback is heard loud and clear and you should see this get better.
This is what I meant in terms of internal process changes. There are different causes for different things in the game, and that stuff that is 100% broken - let's say the qualification noise for example - needs way better processes to catch and squish. Sorry if it seemed dishonest, but I hope that clarifies what I meant.
An update on an update of an update!
We have taken Roll Off out of rotation until the above comes into place & we improve the issues with jumps being eaten on the platforms & teleports!
You...didn't really give us any steps though? Saying there will be "some kind of bugfix before Season 6" is very vague both in terms of what and when. You haven't said what you're doing or any kind of date. Are we waiting WEEKS?
We don't have specific dates for it yet - as the work is being done right now. It's complicated to estimate how long specific bugs take to fix before you jump in and figure out why it's broken.
The team are working to a specific date - but it's a bad idea to share that publicly when it might move around a bit.
Other than the date, we've told you everything we know in terms of how we'll go about tackling the current situation with the game. What extra info do you think is missing?
Is it possible to go back to the old version before the update? Back to when everything worked? Otherwise you guys will be fixing the same bugs twice.
In short, no we can't. Just repeating what Bee said above to someone else because I couldn't really put it better myself:
There are a couple of reasons. If we could roll back, it'd take some time, and by the time that is sorted out we'd likely be close to a hotfix so it'd lack some impact there.
Fundamentally, there are a lot of changes in this update under the hood that are vital improvements and need to be in the game, and so it can't just be reverted.
It would undo a plethora of work that was necessary and not linked to the issues.
Hey >:( and when fall guys is coming to nintendo swich i have been waiting all year for this opportunity bcs this game is funny and well... intresting
So exactly when is coming to nintendo swich, a lot of people are thinking this month or maybe november Some people say at the end of this season that i have asked when is finishing they say maybe october or november, and someone told me tbat they used to have a count down ( 5 days 21 hrs) <--- example. So im asking again when is coming to nintendo swich?
Unfortunately, we don't have any news for the Xbox or Switch versions to announce just yet. We aren't able to share the dates until they're locked down, and there will likely be marketing activity around it - rather than us just being able to answer on social media/reddit. We're working on them both though, really excited to get it into more people's hands!
I mean, it's great they're trying to fix it, but getting a fix out "before Season 6" is not the news I was hoping for. For one thing, we have no idea when Season 6 is and if these bug fixes are going to delay that further. For me, the game is basically unplayable in its current version because the physics are so bad that it's just not fun. If they could just focus on getting the physics back to where they were before this latest update rolled out, that would at least make the game playable. Bugs are annoying, but I can deal with them. What I can't deal with is the physics fundamentally changing the entire game for the worse. If you guys are prioritizing what needs done first, it's that.
That is a massive focus too, and it comprises of many different parts! We're hoping that the first patch makes a considerable improvement.
Any point in submitting bugs to support? When I submitted about the bar speeding up on jump showdown a problem I’ve had with other moving objects they just said I jumped too early. I submitted another one earlier about the waiting for rewards taking longer and loaded into the next game with no cosmetics and I was instructed how to set up internet on my PS4, I wouldn’t be able to play online at all if it was that. I provided clips and support ID. A simple our team will investigate this issue will suffice in future.
They usually reply, but all tickets raised with support are 100% logged and added to the number of issues reported. It might feel like it's not helping (Huge apologies in that case) but it's super helpful to us. If we know one issue has 10 tickets, and another has 100 tickets, we know to focus on the 100 ticket issue first if possible.
What? No fixes until season 6? Lmao this game is shit
We're looking to do a bug fix update before Season 6 addressing the most critical issues.
It's in bold and everything

Can we all as players get a definitive answer on when these changes will be made? I’d greatly prefer a reply of “it’ll be one week until the fix rolls out, sorry!” than a “we’re aware of the issue and working on it.”? The one thing that has started to drive myself and other veteran players I know is the lack of clarity from the devs. I truly enjoy the game but every time issues get bad enough, Oliver has to come out and play damage control to frustrated players by giving an answer that leaves us guessing. If I knew it would be 3 weeks until every bug was patched I’d still play and at least have a sense of hope that there’s a definitive timeframe that I know these issues will be gone.
If there’s one thing that can save the community’s trust in MT, it’s clarity.
The reason we haven't given a date is because it's really fluid, as fixes are still being investigated - and they also then need to be tested, which can change timeframes depending on results.
It's not because we know a date and we're not sharing it, or because we don't want to figure a date out, if that helps. But it will be one patch before s6 at least, and that will definitely take less than three weeks I can assure you. That won't fix every single thing though, but a large portion of key issues. At that stage we can better relay what's left to fix and didn't make it into that patch.
Good to hear the tornados, and general bean interactions are the priority.
I’m happy to clip, and send in any issue I run into. I know it helps to see the issue, try and replicate it, and work out what might be causing it.
Were there intended changes to the levels which can be served up in main show and squads? I’m seeing a team game every main show, and a high frequency of 16 player Hexagone or thin ice in squads. It feels like some legacy code may have gotten back into the game around level selection.
There were adjustments to the show weighting - kinda a little overdue, as S5 map level was really high before. The big finals isn't a favourite - any other feedback on that? Team games coming back in (but still not loads of them) was something we did consciously to see how they were feeling at the moment. It's always a hot topic, but we do like to change it up.
I'm grateful for the reassurance. Will there be any improvement in the playtesting of patches before they go live in the future?
For sure!
Whew!! Nice to see you're alive 🙂
Anyway, please, PLEASE make sure the updates are properly tested BEFORE RELEASED !!
This community does not deserve to experience all these problems live.
Hallo!! I hear you, some elements are unavoidable when you're a big online multiplayer game - 0000s of people playing the game with huge variables will always see things that we don't. This is pain, but an unfortunately normal element of dev. But there are still changes outside of that which we're going to make going forward, so your feedback is heard loud and clear and you should see this get better.
Thank you for this efforts mediatonic to make FG more smooth experience, but I just want my honk honk and jester emote cries
We do have some lingering rotation issues - is your shop totally bought out except for a few things including those? I see people getting the honk in their store, so just checking to see if you have a bug or just bad luck haha
Thanks for taking the time to post this.
A couple of questions: Will the bug fixes trickle through to us as you reach them, or are we to expect them in a batch of fixes?
Also are you guys able to share a list with us of the specific bugs/issues you are prioritising?
They will be done in batches; this is the most efficient way for things to be tested and launched. If we did them say, one-by-one, it would delay each one after the first as it goes into a round of testing and QA, and is then deployed. Updates take a lot of different moving parts and teams to roll out, so even though doing it in batches feels slower, it's actually most efficient. Sorry if that sounds jarbled, I find it hard to explain that kind of thing!!
We will share a list of the specific issues before the end of tomorrow - that'll come from me, I'm just waiting on a few other bits before I can solidify it :)
Is the double glove in Freezy Peak a bug or a feature?
Also I hope the bumpiness is resolved, Sum Fruit is damn ridiculous in Squads with unwitting rookies.
Bug! This will be sorted.
