Pummel Party News

[h2]Changed[/h2]

• Reverted the appearance of the 'Feathers' cape to how it was when first added. It was temporarily changed due to performance concerns but this has since been resolved!
  
• Players who are still alive at the end of Searing Spotlights are ranked by their remaining HP, rather than all tying for 1st place.
  

[h2]Fixed[/h2]

• Fixed a bug causing custom names not to be deleted correctly if one of the custom names matched your Steam username.
  
• When using a controller, the options menu buttons (Back, Reset Defaults, Apply) can no longer be pressed while a control mapper popup window is open. This allows these inputs to be bound or used in the control mapper popup without also performing their primary options menu function.
  
• Fixed incorrect D-Pad icons for DualSense 2, DualSense 3 and DualSense 4 controllers.
  
• (Board Mods) Non-landable spaces are no longer counted when calculating the number of board spaces along a path.
  
  
  
  • When the game needs to find the shortest path between two board spaces, pathing spaces and any space with the 'Can be landed on' property disabled are no longer counted, since they don't cost the player a step to pass over.
    
  • This makes the following more predictable/sensible:
    
    
    
    • The path the golden particle trail takes towards the goal.
      
    • The path the rocket skewer takes.
      
    • The graveyard space a player is spawned at (furthest from any goal).
      
    • Some bot player AI choices.
      
    
    
  • These affected features should be more intuitive if many pathing spaces are used by a board (e.g. the rocket or gold particle trail won't take a longer path anymore just because the shorter path had many pathing spaces along it).
    
  
  
• Fixed the player not tilting correctly when riding a rocket.
  
• Fixed the 'Gold' and 'Platinum' player colors appearing too bright. They now appear as they were when originally added.
  

[h2]Added[/h2]

• Added Brazilian Portuguese localization.
  
• Updates have been made to the existing localization for other languages.
  

[h2]Fixed[/h2]

• The Star Crown hat no longer glows in the dark in Searing Spotlights.
  
• Fixed the Leave button on the loading screen while reconnecting not working for controllers.
  
• Fixed long names overlapping in the minigame score UI when playing in teams mode.
  
• Fixed some controller navigation issues in the options menu.
  

[h2]Added[/h2]

• Added a setting to change the split screen direction when playing in splitscreen mode.
  
  
  
  • This setting will prioritise splitting the screen horizontally (current behaviour) or vertically (new).
    
  • This setting is found on the option menu's 'General' tab.
    

[h2]Changed[/h2]

• When playing a minigame in splitscreen, the camera views have been moved up slightly so that the player scores no longer cover the views of the players at the bottom of the screen.
  
• The online chat window now closes if you unfocus it by clicking elsewhere on the screen.
  
• When playing on a board with fewer possible spaces for the goal chest to spawn than goal chests enabled in the ruleset, a chest can respawn on the same space it was claimed from.
  

[h2]Fixed[/h2]

• Fixed an issue causing reconnecting players to timeout when being re-added at the start of the turn if they reconnected after closing and opening the game.
  
• Fixed pallets sometimes not being flingable in Forklift Fling when playing online.
  
• Fixed the minigame choices shown when using the present item being incorrect for players that had reconnected to the game after a disconnect.
  
• Fixed dead players in Sharky Swim being able to escape or collect beacons if they had died in certain locations.
  
• Fixed the position of the "Spectate" button prompt in Acidic Atoll when using splitscreen.
  

[h2]Changed[/h2]

• Text should be clearer and more consistent across the game.
  
• Some of the game's text has changed font/size.
  
• Updated some icons in various menus and minigames.
  
• Minor UI changes and improvements.
  

[h2]Fixed[/h2]

• Fixed the online chat failing to open via the bound keyboard key when a controller is connected and providing input.
  
• Fixed a respawn point on The Rift map placing players too close to the edge.
  
• Reduced lag in Sandy Search.
  

[h2]Changed[/h2]

• Added a cooldown to prevent players from spamming the chat in online games.
  
• Added a maximum character limit to the online chat.
  
• Any actions in the "Options > Controls" menu that don't have a binding set when the game is started or a controller is connected will be reset to their default binding.
  
  
  
  • This fixes some of the new actions not being automatically bound to the correct buttons when updating from 1.14.0.
    

[h2]Fixed[/h2]

• Fixed a bug causing saved games to fail to load correctly and cause heavy lag.
  
  
  
  • This also fixes reconnecting to any games affected by this bug, so reconnecting should be more reliable now.
    
  
  
• Fixed lag spikes caused by sending messages via the online chat window that contained certain characters.
  
• Fixed some players experiencing broken or missing bindings on some unbindable actions. E.g. the "Add AI" button in the lobby when using a controller.
  
• Fixed a softlock introduced in 1.14.1d that could occur when opening a goal chest in an online game.
