Popaganda Effects, Nyan Rendering & HUD Update
24 July 2026
🧼 Improved
  • Improved Popaganda Pack effect timing and choreography to better match the original Xbox version.
  • Improved screen shaking, vibration, blur, wave and colour-inversion effects throughout Popaganda Pack.
  • Improved the large bubble sequence around the 1:30 section.
  • Improved explosion feedback so impacts use shaking and blur without unnecessarily darkening the screen.
  • Improved the Nyan Pack’s event timing and visual synchronization.
  • Improved the Nyan rainbow overlay with shader-based additive blending matching the original effect more closely.
  • Restored the original Nyan rainbow texture and randomized colour tinting.
  • Preserved Reduced Flashes and Reduced Shake accessibility support across the restored effects.
🪛 Fixed
  • Fixed several Popaganda Pack effects appearing at the wrong intensity or failing to appear.
  • Fixed missing screen shaking during major Popaganda sequences.
  • Fixed explosions producing distracting black-screen flashes instead of the intended vibration and blur.
  • Fixed wave, shake and colour-inversion effects becoming disabled after rendering changes.
  • Fixed flying hearts and other foreground elements not being affected by Popaganda’s inverted-colour sequences.
  • Fixed the Nyan rainbow overlay using an inaccurate S&box blend-mode approximation.
  • Fixed incorrect blending between the Nyan rainbow overlay and negative-screen effect.
  • Fixed the in-game HUD displaying the same overall high score in every pack.
  • Each pack now displays its own independently saved high score.
⚠️ Known Issues
  • DualSense D-pad menu navigation may remain unreliable depending on the active S&box controller mapping. The left stick, face buttons, keyboard and mouse remain supported.
