| IF YOU ARE BEING KICKED FROM FRIENDS LOBBIES PLEASE READ | 2025-08-26 | We have found the issue is steam nick names, HAVE THE HOST CLEAR EVERYONES NICKNAMES I added checks that kick you for name spoofing so that it was harder for cheaters to dodge the blocklist, but if the host has nicknames for players sent there will be a mismatch in the official steam name so they will be auto kicked, i am working on a fix sorry! |
| V 0.7.9 hotfixes | 2025-08-26 | a bug where players were unable to join their friends lobbies because they would be incorrectly kicked by anticheat checks a bug where freeze/wisp could cause someone to become immune to fireball until frozen again a bug where players with low fps would die from fall dmg after respawning fixed freeze sfx frogs nerfed bug related to public lobby finder more anticheat based changes |
| still 0.7.8 but another hotfix | 2025-08-23 | trying to fix bugs where fireball would oneshot due to incorrect server damage checks fixed a bug where the 1v1s would not show the victory screen trying to fix a bug where freeze was not hitting correctly people on this version will still be able to play with people on the previous version the only person these changes matter for is the host, so if the host has updated all players will have the above changes |
| v 0.7.8 hotfix | 2025-08-22 | fixed a bug where spell pages had no cooldown after 2 minutes fixed a bug where players would start at spell level 8 |
| v 0.7.7 | 2025-08-21 | freeze, magic missle, and thunderbolt voice detection improvements the region size to find matches has been increased to the max so regions with lower playercounts should be able to find games now, i will be monitoring if this causes ping issues permanent blocklist for hosts and a (hopefully) always working kick option anti cheat measures, not sure how effective these will be long term, but it will break a lot of the currently available public cheats hopefully option to clear custom flags in settings and disable them for the match in the join team screen golems are now killable with melee weapons worm hole lasts much longer at early levels fr |
