Patch 3.2.1 (25th February 2016)

Hi everyone! We’ve been busy the past few months preparing for Screencheat for PS4 and Xbox One (which comes out on March 1st, by the way), but that doesn’t meant we haven’t been working on the PC version too! We have a load of improvements for you guys, the biggest addition being full text localisation for Simplified Chinese, Japanese and Korean! We hope that everything in this update improves the experience for you guys, and thanks again for your continued support!

Known Issues

Some players may have issues connecting a mix of X-Input and Direct Input controllers Due to an engine bug, increasing graphics quality from very low/low will crash the game on Windows. Upon re-launching the game, the graphics quality will be updated correctly. We will patch this as soon as Unity release a fix. Creating and leaving a LAN room may prevent players from being able to create or join LAN or online games until they close and re-open the game

Thanks for your help reporting and tracking these problems down. Happy screencheating!

Much Love, Samurai Punk
