Freddy wouldn't fit the premise at all. Stalking people through the woods isn't his style.

They've also already said explicitly that other horror villains are never coming to this game on THE TWEETERS. I wouldn't put it past them to make a Nightmare on Elm Street game if this one does well though.

The thing is... This game nails Jason. Sure, he was a bit stealthier in most of the films, but you have to have some sort of game there as well, y'know. So for Jason, this kind of set up is spot on and great.

For Freddy you'd have to mix it up a bit. Like have you seen that other game that's coming out where you play as a slasher? But instead of the brute force dumb Jason style it's more of the Italian, dreamlike horror game. Like you have to divide and seperate the teens and then hide in spaces and leap out at them and the kills are all real cinematic. The clip I saw had the dude leaping through a skyight to get someone.

From what little I've seen it looks great in a wholly different way to this.

Hey all; the patch is live. Please restart your Steam Client. This is our first major fix/improvement patch and we are working on stability. Other fixes are coming, but the most immediate issues have been addressed. You should see better quickplay.

As for those who have 'Database Login Failure' - That is a backend issue for servers. We are incrementally working on that. It is separate from the patch and will be disappearing as we work account to account. This one takes some time, but everyone will eventually have that issue removed for the population that still has it.

Also note for backers: DLC is still on hold due to waiting for Steam. We have been waiting for a response for some time now and we won't be able to do anything until we get word. Apologies, but we're messaging as best we can :/

More work, but the fixes are starting to come online!

PATCH NOTES
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Improvements
- Numerous optimizations to Quick Play: Search less, be discovered more; request a smaller sample size when searching to ping fewer results, so the scan to join turn-around is quicker. Will reduce contention issues.
- EasyAntiCheat now verifies content has not been tampered with to prevent content modification cheating methods.
- Reduced the amount of time the QuickPlay lobby timer "bumps" when someone connects or joins to 30s instead of 90 and 45s respectively.
- Drop the lobby timer to 30s instead of 60s when it gets full.

Fixes
- Fixed party members not always following their leader when matchmaking into dedicated servers.
- Fixed a matchmaking slicing issue causing potentially good servers to be ignored/discarded.
- Fixed a UE4 bug with causing the game to freeze when unplugging headphones.
- Fixed Push To Talk not turning off when a gamepad is in use instead of a KB/mouse.
- Fixed the idle timer not properly bumping while spectating. Also bumping it before spawning as Tommy to fix a potential idle kick when that happens.
- Fixed some foot sliding when using the flare gun or shotgun.
- Disabled VR plugins to fix dialogs prompting to use them.
- Fixed players getting the Public Health achievement for healing themselves.
- Fixed stats that are not associated with a leaderboard not always updating on Steam.
- Fixed a permanent black screen on systems that do not support the intro videos correctly. Working on finding out why that occurs on some systems, newer UE4 feature.
- Fixed the intro/outro videos not being sound grouped. Effects volume now affects them.
- Fixed several dedicated and listen server specific cras
hes.

Playing as Jarvis is a mechanic, the devs want you to hang around even if you die. The XP loss is your incentive to not dip.

It's a stupid mechanic that punishes people who get unlucky early on and are forced to sit around waiting for the round to end if they ever want to progress.

Funny, I think it's a good mechanic that punishes players who salt off after being the first to die.

As it stands now, "git gud" or enjoy the horror movie, honestly.

Of course people are going to salt off, why wait 10-15 minutes to get another game when you can be playing again in far less time? Plus the "horror movie" is far less exciting when it's some chump sitting in a bush or a building somewhere waiting for the timer to run down.

From my experience this isn't the case you still end up waiting to find a new game

Then accept the price of salting off is 500XP

:shrug:

You know it's not what's intended, thus the penalty, so if you don't want to be a good sport and value your time far too highly there you go.

Is there a way to tell where a phone is located without randomly wandering around looking for the fuse box?

Nope, though like somebody earlier said, the fuse frequently seems to spawn in the building that the box is attached to. So if you find a fuse, do a quick once-around the building to see if the box is there.

I'm kind of surprised that the problems have been so scattered with people. Seems like half the players are completely dead locked out of matches and the other half are running it completely smoothly. Usually it's more uniform.
