[p]Patch Notes[/p]
[p]Known Issues[/p]

[p][/p]

[0.9.1.0] Known Issues

[p]Client fails to launch on certain hardware[/p]

[p]We are observing hardware-dependent launch failures on specific system configurations. While investigation is still ongoing, in some cases, this may be related to systems running below minimum specification requirements. Please ensure your PC meets or exceeds the minimum requirements listed on the Steam store.[/p]

[p] [/p][p]Login failure (“Cannot Login” error)[/p]

[p]We are actively working on this issue. However, the fix is not included in Day 1 (Early Access v0.9.1). We plan to address it in a future patch.[/p]

[p] [/p][p]Disconnections / Freezing after matchmaking / Stuck at 100% loading[/p]

[p]One possible cause appears to be region-specific server connection issues. We are continuing our investigation to identify and resolve the root cause. [/p]

[p] [/p][p]Performance degradation during extended sessions[/p]

[p]We are tracking a performance drop after an extended runtime (approx. 3+ hours). Restarting the client mitigates the issue temporarily. However, we understand this is not ideal and are working on a proper fix.[/p]

[p] [/p][p]Meshes streaming failure (objects/walls not rendering)[/p]

[p]This issue is primarily related to data loading speed. An SSD is required as part of the minimum specifications. However, we have observed this occurring even in some SATA SSD environments as well. We are currently investigating.[/p]

[p] [/p][p]Players getting stuck due to collisions[/p]

[p]Players may occasionally become stuck on NPCs, Guardians, or players in specific situations. We will address these cases incrementally in future patches.[/p]

[p] [/p][p]Abnormally long load times[/p]

[p]In most cases, this appears to be related to HDD usage. However, we have also received reports on SSD laptops. We are reviewing this issue and will work to improve loading performance. Please ensure you are using an SSD, as it is part of the minimum specification for optimal performance in KILLER INN.[/p]

[p] [/p][p]Interactions become unresponsive mid-match[/p]

[p]We are currently working on a fix and aim to include it in an upcoming patch as soon as possible.[/p]

[p] [/p][p]Match result screen displays incorrect XP earned (always shows “10”)[/p][p] [/p][p]Occasional T-Pose occurrences[/p][p] [/p][p]Instant kill animation desync or misalignment on stairs[/p][p] [/p][p]Clues shared with NPCs are always displayed as "★★☆”[/p][p] [/p][p]Steam names containing special or non-Latin characters display incorrectly[/p][p] [/p][p]In-game text overlapping in certain languages [/p][p] [/p][p]Knife throw sound effect continues playing in Spectator Mode [/p][p] [/p][p]Selling price of certain items not functioning as intended[/p]

Square Enix's baffling murder mystery social game Killer Inn gets a quick, free-for-all playtest ahead of its release next week

In a few months time we'll be approaching the anniversary of Square Enix realising that actually, their commitment to releasing certain games only on particular platforms isn't that good for them after all. These following two years will supposedly have been a time of internal change for the studio, with that translated externally via the Final Fantasy 7 Remake games releasing on more than just PlayStation. Perhaps they're finally making smart choices! And then last year, instead of finally showing off something like, I don't know, Kingdom Hearts 4, which was first revealed four years ago now, they announced Killer Inn. Okay! And now, you can try it out for yourself.

A Killer Inn 'free stay weekend' is underway, giving you a chance to try out Square Enix's new multiplayer shooter ahead of its upcoming launch. The stratospheric rise of Arc Raiders has proven that there's a huge appetite for the tension of uneasy-alliance multiplayer games where you're never quite sure who's on your side. Adopting the likes of Among Us and other hidden-identity favorites such as One Night Ultimate Werewolf, as well as the asymmetric elements of Dead By Daylight and Friday the 13th, this third-person shooter pits wolves against lambs in a struggle to survive.
