Added

3 changes
  • Added the ability to drop all items using the "G" key, except for the crowbar/heavy crowbar and baton/electric baton

  • Video previews of gadgets have been added to the tactical shop (accessed via the "B" key)

  • A UI element has been added for ragdoll grenades so the player can see the number of remaining grenades

Improved

6 changes
  • Item prices in the Runner section have been rebalanced: Heavy Crowbar – price set at $350 (previously $450); Ragdoll Grenades – price reduced to $180 (previously $260); Body Armor – price reduced to $225 (previously $250)

  • The round duration setting when creating a lobby has been adjusted. You can now set the time with one-second precision rather than by the minute. The minimum round duration has been lowered to 3 minutes 40 seconds, and the maximum to 8 minutes

  • The weight of round music has been adjusted

  • The tactical shop tip now appears slightly later than the role description banner to improve readability

  • The Warden's role description plaque has been changed to "PLACE THE JAIL! CATCH THE RUNNERS!"

  • Minor improvements to bots navigation on Rooftops 2026 and Western.

Fixed

3 changes
  • Standard crowbar and baton no longer render pitch-black on clients

  • Rendering & Maps: Added a mitigation for a s&box engine regression with Map Aggregation that caused roofs, floors, props, and terrain to randomly vanish during matches: the game now automatically forces stable mesh draw submission (sc_aggregate_indirect_draw = 0) without impacting FPS, which significantly reduces the issue, though occasional edge cases during initial map caching may still depend on future upstream engine patches

  • Fixed an issue where the round would not end when all cops or all runners left the game or switched to spectators: now the remaining team is immediately awarded a victory with the appropriate description ("COPS SURRENDERED!" or "ALL RUNNERS FORFEITED!"), after which the round correctly ends and the roles are shuffled again.

Removed

1 change
  • Collision has been removed from the foldable trampoline so that it cannot be used as an obstacle against players or bots

Known Issues

2 changes
  • Issues with the Terry 2.0 body physics are possible

  • Violent Pornography
