Here are the changes!

🌪 Improvements to physics and collision issues such as bean tornados

👊 Fixed punchers spawning twice in the same spot on Freezy Peak

🔎 Main menu button improvements + scaled up Fall Guy

⏲ Removed empty timer on Season Progress bar

🍓 Fixed conveyor belts moving too slow on Fruit Chute

🔇 No more annoying noise every time someone qualifies

The above should hopefully make the game feel much better for a lot of you that were experiencing slide-tackling beans, pushed off of tiles from a great distance in Sum Fruit, things like that! We still have a bunch of things in the works for our future update that will help further.

...

No, not banned and should be OK now! We're trying to nail down to full cause but it seems to be related to Steam updating.

Not at all, I am speaking in this instance about the additions to the Xtreme playlist, which was not externally tested by our Board of Bean members!

Edit: Pressed enter too early, sorry! There were beta issues that went unactioned, and we are improving our internal processes to catch the bigger issues that slip through the net outside of that - clear bugs, for example.

Sure, I just wanted to also ensure that people didn't think that the above post meant something else (if that makes sense). It's only a small nuance from the feedback you're giving (which is valid, and I do understand), but it is an important one - the original post could read as if we never shortened the original timers though we did. I do think it's good to try and avoid those kinds of things where we can, and a lot of posts in the community can get quite out of control quite fast and we often see incorrect/false things just kinda go whoosh and be run with.

We do what we can to get changes like this rectified in real time, but it is often not possible :(. That is often because there is a lot happening under the hood that takes precedence. This doesn't get rid of the fact that a lot of players are sitting and watching the griefers, and having a poor experience though, so I understand frustration.

We will never sit here and tell you to not give ...

Hey beans! I am still getting together a final list of what will be included, but do expect a post from me tomorrow outlining what to expect in the update and a date if I can give one (if not I will make that clear), and I will be on hand for any Qs!

Sorry that it is taking some time, I know that it can feel like these things should be instant or faster, but pivoting to make this work can be very complex. Thank you to those who have been patient while we work on this and gather info!

There is still work to be done in the long run to keep polishing LTMs like Xtreme, but when the post you are referencing was created, the new levels (for example lily leapers) were not in the playlist. It was during the first appearance of the LTM that I wrote this five months ago, and we did shorten all of the timers shortly after as outlined.

The newer additions should absolutely be shorter to match, but that is not what the above pertained to. We should make sure going forward that we are consistent when we add new levels in to prevent the current issues in the future though, that's for sure!

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!

That is a massive focus too, and it comprises of many different parts! We're hoping that the first patch makes a considerable improvement.

We're looking to do a bug fix update before Season 6 addressing the most critical issues.

It's in bold and everything

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.

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.

For sure!

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.

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

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 :)

Bug! This will be sorted.

The tornados are a big one for us, slide-tackling, general teleporting and things like that are a huge focus - so I really hope that improves for you soon as we're looking into that a LOT!

The huge impacts that you're getting are one we'd really appreciate some clips of if you get the chance to. It's clear by your recount here why you'd play less as it sounds like you're having a really frustrating experience, and we're really sorry about that. You shouldn't be being propelled at such force at all, and that is really strange.

Hey Eze (and /u/Rolbgie)!

Just chiming in on this one :)

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.

We do hope that the features of 5.1 that you liked come through when we fix and patch this going forwards, and that the game improves for you considerably - but I am concerned to hear that it's almost unplayable for you. A lot of the issues being experienced vary greatly person-to-person, so if you are one of the worst affected, I really implore you to reach out to support with what you're exper...
