Boss Team Games has released Halloween update 1.017 (v1.1.1) on October 17, 2026, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. This patch focuses on resolving technical stability issues, specifically targeting crashes related to frame generation technology on PC and system-level features on Xbox consoles.
Xbox Series X/S Performance Fixes
Players on Xbox platforms receive several hardware-specific fixes aimed at preventing crashes during play and system transitions. Key improvements for these consoles include:
- Quick Resume: Resolved a crash that occurred when players attempted to return to the game using the Xbox Quick Resume functionality.
- Performance Mode Shaders: Fixed a specific shader-related crash impacting Xbox Series X users when running the game in Performance Mode.
PC Graphics and Frame Generation
For PC players, the 1.017 update addresses stability problems tied to modern upscaling and frame interpolation technologies. The developers have fixed crashes associated with DLSS and FSR frame generation. These fixes allow users with compatible hardware to utilize higher frame rates without risking game instability during intensive scenes.
Gameplay Interaction Stability
Beyond platform-specific technical issues, the patch improves general game stability across all systems by addressing interaction-based errors. This includes:
- Stability improvements for the grabbing mechanic, which previously triggered crashes during certain animations.
- Resolution of stability issues triggered during specific gameplay interactions throughout a match.
This update follows the Day 1 patch, which focused on gameplay tuning. Those earlier adjustments included balancing stamina for both Michael and Civilian characters, as well as refining the discovery range for Escape objectives.
