The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Update 1.12
PATCH NOTES

Fixed: Various Issues where Victims are Stuck in Incapacitation Animation

• One of the issues that we have fixed in this update is the problem where victims who were hit by a Family member while going down a ladder would get stuck in the incapacitation animation. This issue caused victims to still be able to move around while being stuck in the animation. Additionally, for incapacitated female victims, their teammates would only see them in the spot where they got incapacitated, making their movements invisible to other players. We have now addressed this issue and victims will no longer get stuck in the incapacitation animation in these situations.

Fixed: Texture Issues on Nancy’s House

• Another fix is for the texture issues on Nancy’s House. Previously, textures in the Front Garden flower beds would appear black or unnatural. We have resolved this issue so that the textures now appear as intended.

Fixed: Missing Notification for Basement Fuse Door Closing

• We have fixed a problem where if a Family member closed the Basement Fuse Door or if it automatically closed, the Basement Fuse Door would not show that it was closing to both Family and Victim players. To address this issue, we have added a notification that is shown when the Basement Fuse Door closes.

Fixed: Jack in the Box perk Activating Too Soon

• The Jack in the Box perk was activating when Victim players were in the animation state for exiting a hiding spot. This meant that most of the perk’s duration was occurring during the animation. We have fixed this issue so that the Jack in the Box perk now activates after the exit animation.

Fixed: Incorrect Values for Leveled Up Perks and Abilities

• We have resolved a visual UI bug that caused the post-game result screen to not show the correct XP gained on Perks and Abilities. This issue only occurred when skipping the results screen. With this fix, players will now see the correct XP values in the post-game result screen.

Fixed: Two of the Same Grandpa Perks in Nancy’s Skill Tree

• Nancy had 2 of the same Grandpa perk (Barge to the Point) in her skill tree. This issue has been fixed and Nancy no longer has Barge to the Point in her skill tree twice.

Fixed: Nancy’s Spy Ability Exploit

• An exploit with Nancy’s spy ability has been fixed. Previously, the ability would not drain and could be used indefinitely if the Nancy player slammed a door and walked through it. This exploit has now been addressed, and the ability will function correctly.

Fixed: UI Bug Showing 0/0 XP and -1 Ability in Load Outs

• Some players were experiencing a bug where their ability level was shown as -1 or 0/0 XP in loadouts. We have fixed this issue so that the correct ability level and XP are displayed.

Fixed: Typo in Nancy’s Character Bio

• A typo in Nancy’s character bio has been fixed. The typo was “she’s been married 3 three times” and it now reads as “she’s been married 3 times”.

Fixed: Slippery on Danny’s Perk Tree

• The perk Slippery was not on Danny’s perk tree initially, but we have now fixed this issue. Slippery can now be unlocked on Danny’s perk tree through a random perk node.

Fixed: Skill Points Not Refunding

• A fix has been added so that skill points used on a purchased DLC character will be refunded to a player if they return their DLC purchase.

Fixed: Ladder Lacking Collision on Nancy’s House

• We have fixed an issue with a ladder in the Cold Room on Nancy’s House that lacked collision. This issue caused players to be able to walk through the ladder, which has now been addressed.

Fixed: Profile Prompt Non-Function in Player List

• There was an issue where a player’s profile was not visible when using the ‘profile’ prompt in the player list menu. We have fixed this issue so that players will now be able to open another player’s profile from the player list.

Fixed: Character Swap Lobby Crashes

• A fix has occurred for lobby crashes that were caused when the sender of a character swap request either hit ready or quit the lobby before the receiver accepted the request. With this fix, the lobby will now remain functional.

Fixed: Nancy’s Collecting Poison Animation

• We have fixed an issue where Nancy’s collecting poison animation would still play even if a player canceled out of the action. During this animation, players also could not move or control Nancy, and Sissy could use the table at the same time. This issue has now been resolved.

Fixed: Nancy’s Dress Clipping Through Her Body

• An issue where Nancy’s dress would clip through her body during various actions, such as idling, running, spriting, executing, and closing crawl spaces, has been fixed.

Fixed: Anonymized Player Names Showing During Escapes

• There was an issue where a player who had the anonymize player name setting on would have their name shown to other players when they escaped. We have fixed this issue so that anonymized player names will now be hidden.

Fixed: Camera Clipping Issues

• We have fixed the camera clipping that occurred on the ladder between Thicket Tunnel and Thicket area on Gas Station. Previously, the camera would move freely when Cook would descend the ladder, but with this fix, the camera will remain stable and transition smoothly while traversing.

Fixed: Stuck Spots on Gas Station

• Several stuck spots on Gas Station have been addressed. Players were getting stuck while traversing through a side gap, after trying to pick up a bone scrap, and while descending the ladder in the Tool Shed and being attacked at the same time. Additionally, Family players were getting stuck in the pipe assets in the Fuel Storage room of the Basement. The pipe has been removed to prevent Family players from getting stuck in it.

• There was an issue where loadouts were resetting to default perks when completing a custom match. This issue has now been fixed.

Fixed: Danny Tampering the Generator

• We have fixed an issue where Danny players tampering a turned off generator would only apply the cooldown after it’s been turned off again. This fix ensures that tampering a turned off generator applies the longer cooldown after the mini-game is complete.

Fixed: “Must have Been the Wind” Perk Waking Up Grandpa

• The perk “Must Have Been The Wind” has been fixed so that noise generated during minigames with this perk will be disregarded and will not add to waking up Grandpa.

Fixed: New Player Negative Values

• We fixed an issue where new players would see negative values on their Family character’s special abilities, and they would not receive any XP during public matches. This issue has now been resolved.

Fixed: Issues with Leland’s Skill Tree

• There were issues with Leland’s skill tree where the Been Workin’ Out perk was incorrectly valued at 1 SP instead of 2 SP. This caused the skill tree to only go up to level 9 instead of 10, and players would only receive 49/50 attributes. We have fixed this issue by adding attribute points to Leland’s skill tree so that players can now reach the maximum level.

Fixed: Localization Issues

• We fixed issues with localization. Danny’s Apply Knowledge prompt is now properly localized to languages other than English. The ‘Mute All’ and ‘Unmute All’ prompt is now correctly localized for other languages.

• Previously, the ‘select’ and ‘back’ prompt in the player report screen shared the same input on affected platforms. This caused players to accidentally back out of the menu instead of selecting an option. We have now fixed this issue so that ‘select’ and ‘back’ have different button inputs.

Fixed: Nicotero Leatherface Chainsaw Audio

• We have fixed an issue where the chainsaw audio would sound like it would stop revving during the ‘Drilling Down’ execution when Nicotero Leatherface was equipped. The chainsaw audio will now function correctly during this execution with Nicotero Leatherface equipped.
