6 PLAYER LOBBIES + FIXES

By beef

I've gotten plenty of complaints about the 3 player lobby size, and I hear you! This is a quick day 1 patch to the game that mostly addresses bug fixes and minor balancing changes. Changelogs: • When creating a lobby, you can now select a max player count of 6 players. PLEASE NOTE⚠️: The game is designed and has always been marketed around a maximum of 3 players. If you select a max player lobby above that, you must understand that you are playing outside of the way the game is designed. The game will likely become too chaotic, and is not recommended for your first playthrough. But you can ignore my warnings and do it anyway. You bought it. It's your game. • Fix for players unable to create joinable lobbies in Russia. • Lowered Marionette HP. • Made Jack in the box louder. • Removed the profanity filter. • Various other minor bug fixes. Next minor patch update will aim to address the issue of people who crash, and are then unable to interact with the cursor or any buttons in the game. New content will come soon, right after a few more bug fix updates :D - Bun Muen

By beef

if you're having issues with joining lobbies, please follow these instructions: Right click Shift at Midnight in your library > Properties > Game Versions & Betas and enter the access code: networkissues click opt into "network-issues-patch" branch this should update your game, and you should be able to join your friends. Everyone you play with must also follow these instructions We are working towards creating a proper fix in the main version of the game, but for the time being, this should work!
