Steam Patch Notes
Official update history
On the site: Build 25724305
Up to date
A small patch with a few improvements:
Removed April Fools Slopgrade chips
Fixed Immunodeficiency and Firewall Down chips
We released a hotfix for Update 15.1 (details on Update 15.1 here). This hotfix addresses:
Sound not working over Steam Link - this is now fixed. We use the default audio output. Previously we were locking onto the Oculus virtual audio device.
Dropping into the lava should work reliably even when you have fall type = Teleport. Previously was doing weird teleport back to the last known safe spot.
Fixed exploit regarding Hired Assassin chip.
We just pushed a hotfix to the Beta branch. It now defaults the audio output to your Windows Default, which should address an issue some players were seeing with Update 15.1.
If you had audio issues, please try the Beta and let us know if if it helped.
Fixed daily leaderboard scores not updating since January 31st (ran out of magical numbers). Thank you to Darkcave for reporting this.
