The Jackbox Megapicker News

We didn't get these out for the weekend, but they're here now.

[h3]Based on your feedback we've made some changes to filtering and sorting!
[/h3]
Owned and favorited games are weighted over unowned titles in the library. This means when you filter, you'll always see games you own before anything else.

[h3]We've received a lot of feedback on confusion surrounding filters and what's actually happening, so we've added some visual cues to help clarify things.[/h3]
- Advanced Filters will now show a count of the filters applied
- Divider lines between items that perfectly match your filters and everything else
- Library view returns to the top when you adjust filters

Library view now has the ability to sort by Alphabetical order instead of release date via a setting in Advanced Filters.

[h3]Fixed Issues:
[/h3]- In some scenarios, games launch to the normal Party Pack loading screen as opposed directly to the title. We're actively investigating this one to better understand why. It will not have any impact on your game play, but we totally get it's pretty annoying. - FIXED!

- Some users are reporting issues with saved data from games like Zeeple Dome not loading when launching via The Megapicker. We are actively investigating this. - FIXED!

[h3]Known Issues:
[/h3]- The Jackbox Party Packs 1 and 2 may not always launch in full screen. We're working on a fix for that. As a workaround, you can load the Party Pack by itself, change to fullscreen mode and exit. Subsequent launches via the Megapicker will be in full screen.

[h3]Next Up:
[/h3]- A fully localized build is working its way through QA! We have some small UI elements to fix for our German friends, but hope to have it released within a week.
- Native gamepad / controller support is in active development.
- Past Games and Galleries accessible outside of jackbox.tv

What a week! The Jackbox Megapicker and a sequel to Fakin' It?!??! We'll let's not stop there!

We've taken your feedback seriously and have updated The Jackbox Megapicker!

[h2]Filters now include duration, player count, and Party Pack![/h2]

Choose the number of folks you're playing with and see the games that fit your group with the new Player Count filter.

Squeeze a game in before you have to leave!. Just use the Duration filter and adjust the min and max time to hone in on the perfect game for the time you have.

Filter by Pack. Sure, the point of the Megapicker is to show all your games regardless of which Party Pack they're in, but sometimes you still want to see what's where. The new Advanced Filter allows you to filter your games by which Party Pack they're in so you won't make the same mistake we did by putting Trivia Murder Party 2 in Party Pack 7.

[h2]This release also includes some general bug fixes and improvements[/h2]

Most notably:
- Some Windows users were unable to launch The Jackbox Megapicker a second time. This bug has been fixed and the Megapicker will load every time.

- A small subset of Steam Deck users experienced a boot loop if they restarted their Steam Deck after launching The Jackbox Megapicker. This has been resolved in the Megapicker.

- Properly attribute Trivia Murder Party 2 to Party Pack 6. Woops!

[h3]Next up:[/h3]
- Localization! We've received all of the strings back from our localization partners and will start getting builds through our QA process for release!
- More and/or adjustments to filters. We're reading your feedback to better understand how you want filters to work and will be rolling out updates based on your feedback.
- Native controller support! Editing this in because I completely forgot it and you've all be asking for it. It's definitely in the works!
- Plenty of surprises in store!
