To provide a better gaming experience for everyone, we will continue to strengthen our efforts in detecting and addressing in-game violations. We also encourage all players to help maintain a fair and just gaming environment.

If you are using a third-party controller and related software, please note that some of these programs may include macro functions, which could result in your account being suspended. To prevent similar issues in the future, we recommend avoiding using such controllers or software during gameplay.

If you come across any inappropriate behavior from players, you can report it to us through the in-game or official website reporting functions. Please provide relevant evidence, such as videos, and we will investigate the matter.

Thank you for your support and understanding of Party Animals.

亲爱的玩家们：

近期有部分玩家反馈出现了程序崩溃、登录失败报错，以及 Steam 购买结算失败等问题。我们进行了排查，发现这些问题主要是由于最近 Steam 接口异常导致的。

这也解释了为什么这些问题仅出现在 Steam 版本的客户端，其他平台未受影响。

关于崩溃问题，我们在上周的版本中已经提交了相关优化，目前已经有部分改善。我们会在本周的版本更新中再次提交一个修复尝试，希望能够进一步缓解崩溃的情况。

至于登录失败 和 Steam 结算失败的问题，目前来看需要等待 Steam 官方解决。我们已经在积极联系 Steam 团队，并持续跟进他们的处理进展。 对于本次问题给大家带来的不便，我们深表歉意，感谢大家的理解与支持！
