ANEURISM IV News

Greetings citizens of ANEURISM IV. We bring to you today a super tiny but important patch.

[h2]Bug fixes[/h2]

• Attempted to fix rare crate signature locking bug.
  
• Fixed inability to become Vomit Coffin when having less than 0 anamnecytes.
  
• Fixed Vomit Coffin earning a large amount of anamnecytes.

Citizens of ANEURISM IV, stay alert. The Cortex has seen a critical surge in rot levels.

Unfortunately, the Rotter's Update took a bit longer than expected. It turns out that a few of the "developers" got sick, and one was even transformed into a strange new creature they call a Vomit Coffin...

The Fabric of Society update introduces a cosmetic system with 45 new garments to drape over your hollowed-out husk—because if society’s crumbling, you might as well look decent on the way down, right?

More importantly, we’ve finally solved the dreaded rubberbanding issue that has plagued ANEURISM IV for so long. Movement is smooth, network stutters are gone, and the entire database system is now fully asynchronous, resulting in a massive performance leap. This is a foundational update—expect faster systems, sharper threads, and fewer ways to cheese the taxman. We'd like to thank everyone who helped us test this bug update. We really appreciate your help and support!
