Town of Salem 2 News

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.
• Players have around 30s to reconnect. If they reconnect within this window, and before the end of the next night, they will not die due to disconnect.

Improvements

• Increased size of chat/chat log.
• Animations have been added to the new chat to match old chat.
• Removed Four Horsemen Game Mode
• Jailor will no longer lose jails when attempting to execute a town that is saved by an admirer
• Crusader, PotionMaster and Admirer will now know when their target is attacked by a trap
• Monarch will no longer knight a Doomsayer or Pirate that has won and is about to leave the town.
• Plaguebearer is not considered an attacking role to trickster anymore
• Trapper will now dismantle and rebuild their trap on the same night
• Dead chat now has a black background to increase the contrast between the grey text and its background.
• You can now close the Chat Log during Who Died and How announcement.
• The Chat Filter is no longer blocked during Who Died and How announcements.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a Werewolf bug in which selecting and deselecting a target would prevent rampaging at home and scent tracking that night.
• Fixed bug where an Amnesiac that was knighted and remembered a role would lose the extra vote on judgements
• Fixed outline/dropshadows on dynamic Chinese fonts.

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!

• Decreased the vertical space between lines in a single multi-row chat message.
