Custom content creators can make changes in advance to their existing code by following the guidelines below. Once you update your content, it will still work on the current patch and will continue to work after the bug fix is applied in a future patch.

• All characters’ parry windows increased from 3 to 5 frames.
  

• Palette swap shaders are now cached at match launch and shared between objects, making it significantly faster to spawn objects that utilize costume colors. Previously palette swap shaders were created on the fly, which impacted performance due to the texture-allocation requirements of the shader. This should help address performance hitches caused by spawning anything that uses a palette, such as assists and projectiles.
  

• Increased tap jump window from 1 frame to 4. This should address tap jump consistency issues on analog controllers.
  

• Fixed a bug that caused your character to not load into a match when your custom assist’s “resourceId” ended in the word “assist”.
  
• Fixed a crash on the “Welcome to Fraymakers Early Access” screen when you had workshop content installed and quickly closed the welcome message while it was loading.
  

• Quick Reload option added to the training mode pause menu which reloads custom content and restarts the match.
  

• “US” changed to “NA” for online regions.
  

• Fixed a crash caused by quickly unsubscribing from multiple pieces of custom content on the custom screen.
  

• Improved profile -> device assignment logic.
  - When creating a new profile, the device that created the profile is automatically assigned to that profile.
  - When a profile is copied, the device that copied the profile is automatically assigned that profile.
  - When a new profile is selected, the device that selected the profile is automatically assigned that profile.
  - The previous rules don’t apply when the mouse is used to interact with the UI, or the profile that would be assigned isn’t compatible with the device type.
