Patch Notes 1.24.0

Changed
  • Video extraction time has been greatly reduced in most use cases
Fixed
  • Lobbies no longer get stuck in offline mode after rehosting
  • The door in the house no longer opens only for the host
Hello Spööktubers! Thank you for your patience as we're fixing bugs on all platforms.

Here's a new patch fixing some stuff!

**For those of you wondering when crossplay between Switch 1 & 2 and other platforms will be back: ** The first Switch patch ran into an issue during testing, so we’re currently waiting on feedback from Nintendo. We’re hoping the patch will be approved by next week, but it could take longer if any problems are found. The fixes from this patch will also be included.

Patch Notes:
  • Lobbies should no longer be stuck in offline mode after rehosting

  • The door in the house should no longer be open only for the host due to the aforementioned issue

  • Video extraction time has been greatly reduced in most use cases

Enjoy the patch, and please report any issues to support@landfall.se

Hello everyone! Thank you for your patience as we've been sorting out the issues appearing after the console launch. In this patch, we hope to have sorted most of them, but we're still looking into some of the more complex issues. If you're still having trouble, please email support@landfall.se so we can try to help you troubleshoot.

Xbox and Playstation also got big patches so if you have a friend over there please tell them we've sorted a lot of the issues now.

Heads up: Crossplay will be disabled on Nintendo Switch 1 & 2 for a few days as the patch there is taking longer to get passed.

Small update with Achievements, lobby codes, optimisation and bug fixes!

We're very grateful to you all for playing Content Warning, even if there haven't been many updates since launch! 🙏 It's been great seeing the mods come in from the mod support update last year! Thank you to all the modders for making such cool stuff for the community ❤️

We just updated the game with a bunch of achievements, lobby codes and fixes/improvements/optimisations! Read more below:

PATCH NOTES
Changes/Updates
  • Added lobby codes

  • Better (Full?) controller support

  • Sketchpad can now also be used with a controller.

Bug fixes
  • Monsters shouldn’t fall out of the map anymore.

  • Monsters shouldn’t get stuck walking up ramps as often.

  • Items that fall off the map in the surface level now respawn. (We noticed people complaining that the drone sometimes doesn’t drop items or they fall through the ground, they should now respawn on the drop-site eventually).

  • Extraction of videos now properly does not start until all players have loaded all the videos.

Optimizations
  • Higher overall FPS

  • Optimised Surface considerably

  • Optimised the top of the Factory level

  • Build size about 400MB smaller

  • Lower VRAM usage

  • Faster loading times

Even though we did an update today, we want to manage expectations going forward regarding the future:

Content Warning is not a live-service or early access game, which means that we can't promise updates with more content. The game contains what it says on the Steam store, and any additional updates are a bonus.

The CW team is made up of 5 developers, all of whom have been working non-stop on several projects for the last couple of years.

We've explained a bit why there haven't been many updates (https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2881650/view/511817979594278722?l=english), but for those of you who missed it: the CW team took a break from a longer project called HASTE to make Content Warning. Once CW was more stable after its launch, they had promised to come back to HASTE to finish it together with that team, which they did. After that the CW team have all been working on different projects, and at the moment, there are no plans to return to CW. If this changes, we will let you all know!

Finding players:

If you’re having issues finding other players, we recommend checking out the CW Discord, where you can find others to play with!

Ports:

We’re working with a porting studio to get the game onto other platforms, so we hope to have more news about that soon! They're also the ones who've worked to make this patch possible, as the original CW developers are busy with other projects.

Re the video extraction issues:

In the last couple of patches, we, with your help, solved several issues that led to videos failing to extract. We want to thank everyone who sent in logs and other information to help us fix as many of these bugs as possible. In this latest patch, we also did some fixes that may help.

There are sadly a million things that can lead to extraction issues for the videos, some of which we have no control over on our end (like one teammate having a weird file structure on their computer), but we have done our best to fix the most common ones. If you are still having issues, please check out our troubleshooting page.

Support:

You can find help in our Content Warning FAQ for the most common issues. If you still need help, you can also reach out to support@landfall.se for troubleshooting or to ask questions about the game.

Hotfix for the latest update!

Hello everyone! Thanks to all of you who reported issues with videos failing to extract following the latest patch. We've released some more fixes for this bug.

Patch Notes:

Fixed:

  • More fixes for extraction failure when trying to get your video

Small update! Mod support and fixes 👻

Hello SpöökTubers and welcome to a small update! In this patch, we have some fixes but most importantly we have added mod support via the Steam Workshop!
Patch Notes:

Added

  • Controller support (rebindable using SteamInput)

  • Steam Workshop support for mods

Fixes

  • A bunch of defibrillator fixes, for example not being able to speak after being rezzed

  • Fixes related to the extraction failing when you try to get your video

  • Expanded shadow settings allow for higher-quality shadows

  • Made tooltips correctly display rebindable keys

  • Made select items 1-3 rebindable

  • Matchmaking now prioritises lower ping matches

Why mod support?

When we launched CW there were immediately a bunch of really cool mods being made, so we're super happy to make it possible for those mods to be on the Steam workshop!

The CW team is small and doesn’t have enough capacity for continuous updates alongside their other work, so having mod support is a great way to empower the community to create cool new stuff! We had hoped to have this up and running earlier but it took a little longer than expected.

If you are a modder, here is the current documentation for creating and uploading mods: https://github.com/landfallgames/ExampleCWPlugin

There’s also an unofficial modding Discord you can join to find out more about Content Warning mods.

We can’t wait to see what kind of mods you all create!

Re the video extraction issues:

In the last couple of patches we, with your help, solved several issues that led to videos failing to extract. We want to thank everyone who sent in logs and other information to help us fix as many of these bugs as possible.

If you are still having issues after this update please reach out to our support at support@landfall.se so we can help troubleshoot.

Future updates:

As we spoke about in our last (https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2881650/view/4370264726190091136?l=english), the dev-team is made up of five developers who took some time off from their main project to work on Content Warning.

The other project has been in the works since 2021 together with a bigger team, so it’s important to the devs that they come back to finish it. As we explained in our latest post, they won’t work more on CW during this time. Therefore, we don’t know when or if there will be more Content Warning updates.

That said we’re very happy with what Content Warning has become! It’s been a wild ride for a six-week project that blew all of our expectations out of the water. We’re thankful to you all who have been on this journey down to the old world with us so far, and we can’t wait to see what mod support brings!

Finding games:

If you’re having issues finding other players, we recommend checking out our Discord where you can find others to play with https://discord.gg/contentwarning

Ports:

We’re working with a porting studio to get the game onto other platforms, so we hope to have more news about that next year. Porting also means we will add achievements for PC!

We also want to shout out the amazing modders working on fun mods and improvements for the game. You can find more information about modding on the unofficial modding discord here: https://discord.gg/vEG7FZGsdk**
