Patch B.0.1.21 - 8/16/2023

New Feature - Leaver Buster

• Players who leave active games while alive will now have a progressively stacking timeout before they can join the next game.
• Playing games or allowing time to pass outside the game slowly decays the penalty times.

New Language Support
• We have added support for Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, German, French, Polish, Turkish, and Korean languages.
• You can change your language on the login page (bottom right drop-up selection).
• All of our translations are works in progress and would love feedback on them. If you wish to give feedback on the translation, or assist us in getting it perfect, contact a moderator on the Town of Salem 2 Discord.

New Experimental Feature - Reconnect System

• This is an experimental feature. There may be visual bugs relating to reconnect that should resolve as you change phases.
• If a player is disconnected during a game due to a blip in wireless connection, for instance, they will be able to try to reconnect.

Thank you for letting us know about the difference between the new chat and old chat in the latest patch. We will continue to make changes to the new chat to bring it more in line with the look of old chat. The new chat was meant to be a performance boost, and not a visual change.

We are aware of the chat box sizing being off, and dead chat being a bit different as well. Continue to let us know if you notice any differences and we will check them out!

Improvements

• Slightly increased the font size of 'normal size' chat.
• Decreased the vertical space between lines in a single multi-row chat message.
• Decreased the vertical space between individual chat messages.
• Custom modifiers do not show up in role mentions list anymore

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a visual bug that showed the first win of the day text on the end game screen when it was not your first win of the day.
• Fixed missing day/night chat message.
• Fixed the "paste to chat" button code so that newlines are properly removed when pasting.
• Fixed the spacing in speaker name (between icon and name) to match that the spacing in whisperer name (between icon and name).
• Your character will no longer try to walk to your mouse pointer location when you are dragging the chat log scroll bar.
