🔥 MAJOR UPDATE NOW LIVE! – April 2025 🔥

Howdy, cowpokes! We’ve been hard at work behind the scenes and we’re thrilled to bring you a major update for Bang! Howdy. This release packs a punch with huge improvements to stability, compatibility, and security. Here's what's new:


🛡️ Revamped Anti-Cheat System


We’ve overhauled our anti-cheat to make sure everyone plays fair. This new system helps us detect and prevent cheating more effectively than ever.

💻 Expanded Platform Support

Bang! Howdy now supports:
  • Windows
  • macOS (including ARM & AARCH64)

So no matter what machine you’re on, you can now jump into the action!

🏙️ Boom Town Provisional Assets
We're getting closer to the full Boom Town release! With this update, you’ll see provisional assets in place while development continues.

🧯 Fixed Major Crash on Launch
We’ve resolved a critical issue where the game would crash on start if you had previously logged into Boom Town in Beta from the Production client. This fix should significantly improve overall launch stability.

🎮 Steam Launch Requirement
The game must now be launched through Steam. This is part of our effort to ensure account integrity and better support for cross-platform stability.

🆔 Steam ID Verification
Your Steam ID is now sent to our servers for secure verification. This helps us monitor usage and prevent abuse.

🚫 Virtual Machine Support Disabled
As part of our anti-exploit measures, the game can no longer be run inside virtual machines. This helps us ensure fair play for all players.

We appreciate your continued support and feedback as we work toward making Bang! Howdy the best it can be. Ride on, and stay tuned for more updates soon!
