Once Human News

[p]Dear Metas,[/p][p] [/p][p]From July 30th to August 25th, Once Human banned a total of 781 Players. This includes 540 players penalized for cheating, 118 accounts suspended for alt-account exploitation and linked violations, 123 players penalized for malicious interference.[/p][p]Recently, we've received many questions concerning recent account bans for wall-clipping exploits in RaidZone mode. Hence, we wanted to take this chance to provide some clarification.[/p][p]Our backend data indicates that some players have been exploiting a flaw in our building models to perform wall-clipping actions, including passing through walls at certain corners or shooting through walls.[/p][p]Our anti-cheat system uses a combination of AI detection and human review. As our AI model is still being refined, a small number of innocent players were mistakenly penalized. For example, due to an edge case in the detection algorithm, some players were incorrectly penalized for using Shattered Maiden. This issue has been fixed in the August 28 update, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused.[/p][p]If you have any questions or objections regarding your penalty, please contact us through the in-game appeal system.[/p][p]To tackle both cheating and false positives at their root, we're implementing dedicated fixes to our building and wall models. This includes optimizing their collision logic and patching known wall-clipping exploits. We're also upgrading our AI detection model to account for each player's gameplay history and habits. This holistic approach should reduce the chance of mistaken penalties.[/p][p]If you discover any new wall-clipping exploits or other rule violations, please report them to us through the Feedback Platform or our Customer Service channels. We'll also continue to monitor this issue and make improvements as required.[/p][p]Below is a list of players recently penalized for severe violations. The accounts involved have been reviewed and confirmed to be in violation. For any questions, please contact in-game customer support.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]1. Language violations[/p][p]From July 30th to August 25th, 2025, a total of 2,681 players received bans of varying durations for language violations:[/p][p]30 days — 87 players[/p][p]7 days — 167 players[/p][p]1 day —  1,273 players[/p][p]2 hours — 644 players[/p][p](Due to space limitations, we do not provide the list of players banned for speech violations.)[/p][p] [/p][p]We've been paying close attention to feedback regarding the chat restriction system and have launched a focused optimization effort. Improvements include upgraded smart filtering to reduce false positives and better manual review processes for more accurate judgment. We'll continue refining this system to make communication smoother.[/p][p]This world is brought to life by your interactions—whether you're sharing highlights or fighting alongside friends, every sincere exchange brings warmth to the game. We hope everyone uses kind words to build meaningful memories and protect the beauty of the world of Nalcott together.[/p][p] [/p][p]2. Use of cheats or hacks[/p][p]We will identify the characteristics of newly discovered cheats and use them for retroactive investigations. After banning an account, we will check if it has any associated "alt" accounts and ban those as well.[/p][p]The following is the list of players penalized for using cheats or hacks from July 30th to August 25th, 2025:[/p][p]* Server shown is where the ban was issued.
[/p][p][/p][p]3. Malicious exploitation of game mechanics to disrupt others (e.g., blocking roads with vehicles, intentional interference, obstructive building placement, etc.)[/p][p] [/p][p]We take a firm stance against behaviors that disrupt others' gaming experiences. If you come across such behavior, please report it via the in-game reporting system or to customer support.[/p][p]Going forward, any verified malicious behavior that disrupts gameplay will result in immediate bans. We encourage all Meta-Humans to play responsibly and help us maintain a fair and enjoyable gaming environment.[/p][p] [/p][p]Below is the list of players penalized for maliciously exploiting game mechanics between July 30th to August 25th, 2025. Due to space limitations, only ban records are displayed:[/p][p] [/p][p]Once Human Development Team[/p]

[p]After the maintenance on August 28, the server experienced unusual lag. During this time, we received reports that some players obtained mods with four Legendary attributes. Normally, the max enhancement level for mods is 17, so acquiring four Legendary attributes is impossible. The issue occurred because the enhancement attempt limit was not applied correctly during the server instability. As a result, we will roll back affected mods (including those with four Legendary attributes and others created through the bug). Details on this process will be shared in a later announcement. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding and support.[/p][p][/p][p]Once Human Development Team[/p]

[h2]Dear Metas,[/h2][p]The Version 2.1.2 server maintenance and update is planned for August 27 at 4:00 PM (PT) and is expected to last about 2 hours (actual time may differ). Please plan your game time accordingly for the best experience.[/p][p] The update size is approximately4.05 GB on PC launchers, 157 MB on the PC client(Note: In case of Steam platform push delays, you may encounter a situation where no download is required on the Steam platform to directly access the client. Instead, you can download a 2.2GB update within the client, followed by a 4.5GB download once the push arrives.), 335 MB on Android, and 370 MB on iOS (actual size may differ). We recommend downloading the update over Wi-Fi.[/p][p]This update introduces the new Scenario Honor system, RaidZone updates, a new Memetic formula: Body Enhancement Feed V, furniture interaction pose options, the S1 Visional Wheel event: Stellar Resonance, Lightforge Loot Crate: Frenzied Kiss, and various optimizations and bug fixes.[/p][p]After the maintenance, the following rewards will be issued to all players: Starchrom ×1,000, Mitsuko's Mark ×100, Starwish Token ×300, Detoxident ×3, and Blueprint Conversion Attempt ×3. You'll also earn lots of rewards for rising through the Scenario Honor ranks and taking part in the limited-time Stellar Resonance event![/p][p]Below are the details of this update:[/p][p][/p][h2]Content/Feature Updates[/h2][h3]Scenario Honor System[/h3][p]This update includes the surprise Scenario Honor system![/p][p]Grow your Scenario Rating and ascend through the Scenario Honor ranks to earn scenario-exclusive Honor Badges, Emblems, Star Cups, Prismatic Nicknames, Scenario Marks, and Asterism Crates![/p][p]The Scenario Honor system resets annually every 12 months, with the next reset planned for August 2026. The following content will be reset: one-off Honor Rank reward records, Honor Rank history records, and Prismatic Nickname validity period. Other rewards obtained through this system (scenario-exclusive Honor Badges, Emblems, Star Cups, Scenario Marks, and Asterism Crates) will be retained as per the corresponding rules.[/p][p]Honor Badges have an exclusive coating effect. Complete just one Coating task, and you'll receive a scenario-exclusive badge coating for a limited time after Scenario Honor is settled! And if you complete all Coating tasks, you'll unlock even more spectacular coatings! Coatings can be unlocked repeatedly to extend their validity. Start climbing the ranks now![/p][p]Reward Cycle[/p][p]1. In Once Human, a reward cycle starts when your character joins a scenario and lasts until the start of the settlement phase.[/p][p]After this update, scenario servers that are nearing their settlement phases may have relatively brief initial reward cycles. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.[/p][p]2. In RaidZone mode, a reward cycle starts when your character joins a scenario and lasts until the server resets.[/p][p]Reward Requirements[/p][p]1. Your character must be at least Lv. 20 and have joined the scenario before settlement is complete.[/p][p]2. If you exit the scenario midway through a reward cycle, you cannot complete settlement, and your run will not be recorded.[/p][p]If you join a scenario server that has already entered its settlement phase, you cannot complete settlement. Please take this into consideration when choosing a server.[/p][p]Reward Issuance Rules[/p][p]1. If you have met the reward requirements and completed settlement, you can claim your rewards by navigating to the Scenario Rating interface and selecting Honor Rewards. Don't worry if you forget to claim your rewards before exiting the scenario. Honor Badges (including coating effects) and Prismatic Nicknames will be automatically unlocked. Emblems, Star Cups, Scenario Marks, and Asterism Crates will be sent to the corresponding character via in-game mail.[/p][p]2. Rewards are determined by the highest rank attained by your character within a single scenario. Rewards can only be claimed once during the next Scenario Honor cycle, lasting from August 2025 to August 2026.[/p][p]The display location for Scenario Marks will be replaced with Scenario Honor Badges. Remember to make changes accordingly.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]New Memetic Formula: Body Enhancement Feed V[/h3][p]Unlock this new formula under Memetics > Animal Taming to craft the Body Enhancement Feed V item, which can be fed to any animal to instantly raise them to Lv. 60.[/p][h3]New Furniture Interaction Pose Options[/h3][p]Due to popular demand, we've added a way to switch between multiple furniture interaction poses. Includes a variety of character poses for you to choose from!You can now switch your sitting pose on sofas and chairs, and more pose options are coming soon![/p][p][/p][h3]Remove Makeup[/h3][p]You can now remove makeup by clicking the currently equipped makeup. You can also view details on all makeups you own.[/p][h3]Focus Navigation with Controllers[/h3][p]Focus navigation is now available for controllers on PC. Use the d-pad to navigate through buttons or components on supported interfaces. This makes navigation with a controller more convenient and intuitive. You can still use the joystick to control the cursor as needed. We will continue to expand focus navigation to more interfaces and improve controller functionality on PC.[/p][p][/p][h2]New Events[/h2][h3]S1 Visional Wheel Event: Stellar Resonance[/h3][p]The Stellar Resonance initiative has been launched.

In the August 28 (PT) update, we'll be adjusting the following content: Frost Vortex - keyword effect, Abyss Glance, Silent Anabasis, Icy Rain, Frost Tactical Vest, Cryo Blast, Vortex Multiplier, Obliteration, Polar Jelly, Claymore Mine: Frost Trap - Memetic Specialization, Raining Cash, Doombringer, Corrosion, and Lonewolf's Whisper.[/p][p]For more information, see https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2139460/view/545618256387375445[/p][p]After these adjustments, we will continue monitoring each build's effectiveness and usage rates to assess whether further adjustments are necessary.[/p][p]We've also noticed that Pyro Dino tends to outperform other Deviations, causing balance issues. During this update, we will adjust Polar Jelly and Lonewolf's Whisper. In subsequent updates, we will enhance the other Deviations in batches, based on priority. Stay tuned![/p][p]To ensure a smooth transition, we will issue Blueprint Conversion Attempt ×3 to all players after this update.[/p][h3]RaidZone[/h3][p]1. Added the Flamethrower, a static defense installation for the early game.[/p][p]2. Changed the Shotgun Turret to require electricity and adjusted its Technology level to improve balance.[/p][p]3. Phase Progression and Ending Adjustments[/p][p]a) New servers opened after this update will have Scenario Challenges and Daily Commissions unlocked by default. These servers will also consist of a single phase with no phase changes.[/p][p]b) Servers opened after this update will no longer have triggerable endings or end early due to triggered endings.[/p][p]4. Survival Optimizations[/p][p]a) Reduced the Stamina cost of sprinting by 25%. Removed the Stamina cost of gathering. Increased the Stamina recovery speed by 25%.[/p][p]b) Hydration and Energy effects:[/p][p]i. Previously, Load would gradually decrease when Energy was below 30%. Now, Load will only be reduced when Energy reaches 0.[/p][p]ii. Previously, Stamina recovery speed and Movement Speed would be reduced when Hydration was below 30%. Now, only Movement Speed will be reduced when Hydration reaches 0.[/p][p]iii. Previously, the Stamina cost of sprinting was reduced when Hydration reached 60%. Now, this will only apply when Hydration reaches 100%.[/p][p]iv. The Force recovery effect will only apply when Energy reaches 100%.[/p][p]c) Optimizations to returning from blackout:[/p][p]Previously, after returning from a blackout, Energy and Hydration would be restored to their pre-blackout levels. Now, Energy will be restored to approximately 50% and Hydration to approximately 70% after a blackout. This should improve the experience for players with fewer resources.[/p][p]d) Sanity optimizations:[/p][p]We've removed the deduction effect that low Sanity has on Max HP. This ensures that your Max HP remains fixed.[/p][p]5. Optimized the drop mechanics of crafting facilities. After this update, these facilities will drop all items in their queue upon destruction.[/p][p]6. Added weekly reset and monthly reset servers. Refer to the server names to choose one that suits you.[/p][p]7. We've noticed that some players cannot obtain vehicle repair items in the early game and cannot use vehicles as a result.

Adjusted the methods for obtaining Reality Fragments in Endless Dream:[/p][p]a) Added large amounts of Reality Fragments to the rewards for Scenario Challenge tasks in each phase.[/p][p]b) Removed Reality Fragments from the global rewards for defeating an Eternal Dreamer for the first time.

It has been corrected to: "Adjusted the weekly mutations for Securement Silo - PSI and Securement Silo - PSI \[Deviation +0.5].

Optimized the gunfire sound effect for the Lost Spark - MPS5 weapon skin.[/p][h3]Server Launch Adjustments[/h3][p]Affected Regions: North America, Europe, Southeast Asia[/p][p]One Endless Dream (Visional) and one Manibus (Visional) scenario server will open every Friday at 5:00 PM (PT).

The Server Host can now issue the following items: Energy Link Loot Crate, Starchrom Crate, Lunar Suffix Mod Box, and Downstar Suffix Mod Box.[/p][p]2. The Way of Winter and Once Human: RaidZone have been updated to their latest versions. The server host can switch scenarios to experience the latest content.[/p][h3]Wilderness[/h3][p]We've received player feedback that there are too few wolves in the wilderness.

Players can use the mirror to customize their face and body.[/p][h3]Trade[/h3][p]To prevent accidental listings, we've changed the default listing price on Vending Machines from 1 to 0.

[p]Dear Metas,[/p][p]Every month, we implement new balance adjustments to improve Once Human's combat experience. In the August 28 update, our main focus is optimizing the Frost Vortex keyword effect. We'll also adjust the strength of some weapon blueprints, while buffing the Deviations: Polar Jelly and Lonewolf's Whisper.[/p][p][/p][h3]I. Frost Vortex Optimizations and Blueprint Effect Adjustments[/h3][p]We've noticed that the Frost Vortex keyword effect isn't performing as intended in some situations for the following reasons:[/p][p]1. It doesn't generate vortexes in optimal locations.[/p][p]2. The damage is delayed and has slow damage build-up, requiring multiple vortexes to deal maximum damage.[/p][p]To resolve these issues, we are optimizing the Frost Vortex keyword effect as follows:[/p][p]1. Optimize the locations where vortexes are generated so they're more likely to hit enemies or Deviants.[/p][p]2. Reduce the damage delay, shortening the interval between generation and dealing damage.[/p][p]3. Increase the damage of a single vortex. A single vortex will be able to deal more damage than three vortexes did previously. To compensate, we will slightly reduce the chance of triggering a vortex with Frost Vortex weapons. This change will enhance Frost Vortex's overall damage and damage build-up speed.[/p][p]We will also adjust Frost weapons and gear to improve the experience of using Frost builds.[/p][p]The changes are as follows:[/p][p][/p][h3]II. Other Weapon Effect Adjustments[/h3][p]We will continue monitoring each build's effectiveness and usage rates to assess whether further adjustments are necessary.[/p][p][/p][h3]III. Polar Jelly and Lonewolf's Whisper Buffs[/h3][p]We've noticed that Pyro Dino tends to outperform than other Deviations, causing balance issues. These adjustments will buff Polar Jelly and Lonewolf's Whisper. In subsequent updates, we will enhance the other Deviations in batches, based on priority, to ensure they meet player expectations.[/p][p][/p][p]To ensure a smooth transition, we will issue 3 Blueprint Conversion Attempts to all players after this update.[/p][p][/p][p]That's the end of our developer update on upcoming balance adjustments. If you have any suggestions or questions, please contact us via the Co-Dev Feedback Platform or our community channels. Thank you for your understanding and support![/p][p][/p][p]Once Human Development Team[/p][p]
