| 1.60.d Patch Notes (Friendship Restored) | 2026-04-02 | Sorry about that, everyone! I don't know what came over me.

| Patch 1.48.a: Rope exploit is back and potential vine/chain fixes | 2025-12-10 | Patch 1.48.aJust a routine bugfix patch la-di-da nothing to see here.PATCH NOTESFIXES:Climbing on vines and chains should do less Weird Stuff if the game lagsFor a long time we've had an issue where, on rare occasion, a chain launcher could fire a chain that was so buggy that it would crash entire runs. We've dragged our feet on a fix for this because unfortunately neither us nor our QA team have been able to reproduce the issue. This patch introduces a bunch of refactor work to the chains and vines that we THINK will fix the bug, but if it still happens to you, please reach out at support@aggrocrab.com or on discord.This also makes vine/chai |
