PEAK News

Hey scouts! Thanks to everyone who's helped with the beta branch! We're so back with this new patch. As usual, continue to report any bugs through forums or our Discord
Most importantly we've improved the stability of the reconnecting to games if you get disconnected. There's some other goodies in here too :)

Oh and new languages should be arriving SOON.



MAJOR FIXES:

• Dramatically improved the stability of being able to reconnect to games after disconnecting.
  
• Fixed a bug where spamming the climb button when out of stamina kills you instantly. You now can't spam frequently enough to stay in place. Blame the Caseoh stream for getting me to actually fix this.
  
• Added a potential fix for the rare issue where backpacks disappear when dropped. Please reach out if you still experience this after this patch!
  
• Fixed an issue where the Max Framerate setting wouldn't work.
  

MINOR FIXES:

• Fixed an issue where Invert X is displayed as Invert Y in the Settings
  
• Fixed an issue where the Passport wouldn't properly update your cosmetics when returning to the airport after a win.
  
• Fixed bug where switching scenes didn't apply voice volume slider settings correctly
  
• Fixed Bing Bong Badge being referred to as Volcanology on the Accolades menu.
  
• Fixed an issue where scrolls wouldn't spawn properly at campsites, preventing players from more easily getting the Bookworm badge.
  
• Fixed visual issues over the network when climbing on vines and chains.
  
• Items can no longer be swapped or dropped while in the process of using them.
  
• Fixed an issue where a variety of effects (such as infinite stamina from the Lollipop) wouldn't trigger if you were carrying an unconscious scout
  
• Fixed Push To Talk disables itself on every loading screen
  
• Removed a weird thin green line in the airport
  
• Fixed an issue where eating a lollipop after using a heat pack would cause a ton of cold damage over time
  
• Fixed an issue where certain items would remain suspended in the air when dropped from your inventory when you passed out.
  
• Fixed an issue where the rope anchor preview would spawn on walls at weird angles
  
• Fixed an issue causing Mentorship badge to sometimes not be awarded.
  
• Fixed an issue where scrolls wouldnt spawn properly at campsites, preventing players from getting the Bookworm badge
  

FEATURES:

• You now only need a majority of players (instead of all) to hit "Next" at the end screen to continue in lobbies of 3 or more.
  
• Select on controller can now be pressed to push-to-talk
  
• The end screen will no longer break hopefully in modded lobbies of greater than 4 players. Hi modders
• Your character will now point when pinging a location :)
  
• Can now "select" a carried player (on controller only) and then press Interact to drop them
  

PS: thanks to everyone who reached out about the EULA. Some parts of the EULA were included in error. We've removed it entirely for now until we can come back with a version that properly represents the game. Among other things, we don't have any issue with sharing video content, including modded stuff, and most certainly have no plans to add any anti-cheat DRM to the game. Super sorry for all the confusion!!!!

Hey Scouts!

We've heard your requests, and now it's time to announce that we're making PEAK plushies 💥🏕️



You can finally take Bing Bong to a mountain top yourself, or even a fellow Scout‼️

Thanks to Makeship, you can check out the petitions below to bring PEAK to life...

SCOUT HERE

Thanks Scouts!! As usual, we're still working away on bug fixes and stability

Hi Scouts!

So, let's talk about stability. The sheer number of people playing this game means that we're often hearing about hardware or network-specific issues that our internal testers have a lot of trouble catching because, well, there aren't 100,000 of them. Recently this resulted in a patch going live that made a number of players totally unable to play the game, and we had to roll it back immediately. That's bad.

To help with stability of future major patches, we're going to be opening up a public beta Steam branch. This will allow anyone who wants to play with new, possibly unstable features to do so safely, and report issues to us before they go live to the greater community.

If you don't want to do this, you can also just hold tight and wait for full release updates!

HOW TO GET ON THE PUBLIC BETA TESTING BRANCH:

1. To access the PEAK public beta go to steam and find peak in your library.
   
2. Find the "gear" icon or right click the game and click "Properties" and a new window will appear.
   
3. In the new window find the beta section and enter the beta password: playpeakbeta

That will unlock the beta that you can now select in the beta participation drop down.

IMPORTANT:
PLEASE post any bug reports either in our DISCORD dedicated channel OR using the new BETA Bug Reports Steam forum! If you report a beta bug as if it's a main branch bug, you'll make our lives a LOT harder and we will send the scoutmaster after you!!!!!

Happy climbing! Thanks for your patience as we continue to work towards a more stable PEAK experience!

This patch has been reverted due to a variety of bug reports that was missed in testing - sorry everyone! We'll bring this back once it's more stable 💀
