Hello Townies! We have a small hotfix to improve Town of Salem 1.

Please review the patch notes below ⤵️

• If a Hypnotist "poisons" someone it will now send the correct message depending on the Coven having the Necronomicon. Night 1 and 2 it will say "will die tomorrow unless cured", after that it will just say "you will die tomorrow!".
• If a Hypnotist "roleblocks" someone the message will change accordingly if the target is roleblock immune or not. If the target is Roleblock Immune, they will get the "Someone tried to role block you but you are immune". instead.
• Fixed Lookout and Trapper seeing reanimated corpses visit twice
• Fixed lag when zooming in

Hey Townies!

Ranked Season 5 will be coming to a close on Wednesday October 5th.

You still have a few days to hit your final season goals, but don't worry too much! Your Ranked Season rewards are based on your season high, not your current rating.

On Wednesday we will make a post before the patch that will include all the Season rewards, but I can say this seasons icons are based on the Horseman of the Apocalypse!

Here is the new Ranked Role List that will be available on the 5th for play during a short off season before launching the next Ranked Season.

Jailor 2 Town Investigative Town Protective 5 Random Town Godfather Mafioso Mafia Support Random Mafia Neutral Killing Neutral Evil.

Edit: The move to off season and new role list patch has been delayed until Wednesday October 5th. The post has been updated to reflect this.

Hey Townies!

Today we are releasing Town of Salem 3.3.5. This patch adds some new limitations on the symbols allowed to be entered in chat, last wills, death notes, and notepad to help minimize character substitution by those seeking to circumvent our chat filters. We also stomped some bugs. Happy hanging!

CHANGES • Chat, Last Will, Death Note, Notepad: Restricted the allowed characters and symbols that can be typed. This was to prevent players from using certain non-English characters that looked like English ones to bypass the filter.

BUG FIXES • Customization, Lobby: Fixed missing Coven lobby icon. • Featured Items: Fixed Mafioso character in featured items appearing to be purchasable with MP when it is not. • Report Player Dialog: Removed Inappropriate Account Name as a reason, added Leaving as a reason. • Crash: Fixed a null reference exception that could occur.

Hey Townies!

Today we are releasing Town of Salem 3.3.4, a quick patch to address an issue in the players list on the End Game screen for Ranked games. We also removed the Crusader message from the list of available messages the Hypnotist can use in Classic games. Happy hanging!

Hey Townies, today we are releasing Town of Salem 3.3.3, a minor release focused on QOL tweaks and bug fixes. The most noticeable QOL improvement is that you can now ignore people in Party Chat and in Lobby Chat. The full list for this release is below.

IMPROVEMENTS • Party Chat and Lobby Chat: You may now mute/ignore people in the Party Chat and Lobby Chat. If somebody is posting bothersome things, feel the satisfaction of turning them off! If you mute somebody in the Party, that mute will carry over to the Lobby as well. So what happens if the offending person leaves the lobby after you have muted them, and then they return to the lobby to further offend you? Fear not, muting is persistent for the session so when that person returns, they’ll still be muted. Be aware that muting in the Party or Lobby does NOT carry over to the game itself. If the person continues to post offending things once the game starts, you’ll need to re-mute them in game. • End Game - Added Lobby Icons to End Game screen players list. • Lobby Description: The description for the Serial Killer has been updated to mention their Cautious ability. • Chat: Added additional URL types blocked in chat. • Removed link navigation confirmation for non-mobile platforms.

CHANGES • Passwords: The ampersand symbol (&) has been removed as an acceptable character for new passwords.

BUG FIXES • Game Engine: The game engine has been upgraded to Unity 2019.4.15f1, bringing with it additional underlying bug fixes. • Tooltips: Fixed an issue that could cause a tooltip to not disappear when its parent was destroyed. • Chat: Added horizontal and vertical tabs to the characters that are stripped from chat messages. • Fixed a null reference exception disconnection that could occur due to a bug in the underlying text controls in Unity. • Fixed a null reference exception disconnection that could occur during the water wheel role reveal. • Fixed a null reference exception that could occur on mobile platforms when showing an ad.
