Optimized the farm more Fixed a compatibility issue with MacOS Catalina
Woods Update Info: I am still working on the "Woods" update daily. I will release it when I feel like it is ready. I want it to be a scary and a fun experience. I will announce the release date a week before I release it.
Thank you everyone, Shawn
Please restart Steam if you are having trouble connecting with friends. Everyone needs to be on the same update.
Bug fix for Mac users
Back again with a small update.
- Fixed a problem where Mac users couldn't connect to Windows hosts. Mac users can now join Windows hosts and vice versa, but Mac users will not be able to participate or hear the voice chat
- Fixed a glitch in the lobby menu
Shawn
Please report bugs below in the comments.
Restart Steam if you can't connect.
Voice Chat
-Voice Chat added for Windows users
I haven't added the in-game instructions yet, but:
Press T to use your radio / walkie talkie.
Press V for regular voice that only works close to other players.
Please comment below if this update causes you problems.
Make sure you restart Steam if you can't connect to your friends.

Update: I just tested and Mac users cannot connect with Windows Users now. If you want to play with your friends cross platform. Right click Pacify in your library, click properties, then choose the Betas tab. Now drop down the list and choose BeforeVoiceChat. Close and wait for the game to update. You will be able to play with anyone that is using the same Beta but you will not have the voice chat feature.
More Bug Fixes
More quick fixes
-Fixed problem with quitting a single player game and getting trapped in a lobby

-Fixed being able to walk around while the game was paused
-You can now look up and down at a greater angle
Thanks for the amazing support and comments!
Shawn
As always, if you have problems with connecting after the game updates, restart Steam and it will probably fix.
Another Bug Fix Update
Here's another small update.
-Volume slider added to the options menu. -If all players lose or the server quits the game, everyone returns to the lobby now. -Optimized the Farm even more. -Fixed a bug where Emilia wouldn't change into a monster for everyone.
I experimented with Voice Chat, but it wasn't very good quality, so I removed it. I will look into that more.
As far as the "Woods" map goes, after several revisions, I think I like the map layout. I am programming the characters, items and gameplay. I am trying to get it out ASAP, but I still have a lot left to do.
Please comment below if this update causes you any problems. I will be checking here all weekend and correcting any errors that it causes.
Thanks, Shawn
Make sure to restart Steam to ensure you have the most current update. If you don't, you won't be able to connect with others.
Bug Fix Update
Ok trying to run this patch through again. Last time it caused some problems. This is not the Woods update yet. I will release it as soon as I am finished it, even if it is before October 31.
This patch should fix audio and video issues some were having and a few other bugs.
If you cannot connect with your friends, make sure you completely close Steam. This will ensure that you get the update. If one person has the update and one doesn't, it won't let you both connect with each other.
Thank you, Shawn
If you have problems with this update, please comment below and I will check into it.
If you would like to revert back to the last update you can do this: -Right click Pacify in your library -Choose Properties -Now choose the BETAS tab -Drop the first list down to BeforeLastUpdate -Then close.
This will download the last working version of Pacify. But you can only connect online with players that have the same version as you.

Terrifying new update coming to PACIFY
========= BEGIN MISSION TEXT =========
There is an old estate outside of town, in the middle of the woods. The estate has a strange history. It is the resting place for witches of the past. The groundskeeper is supposedly a witch herself named Agnes Rose. There is a rumor that several hundred years ago, she was convicted of being a witch, but she couldn't be killed. She resides at the estate watching over the witches' graves.
Several children have gone missing in the area over the last century, and the town's people are sure Agnes Rose has something to do with it. No one entering the estate has ever come back. So, PAH Inc. would like you to go to the estate. We are very interested in seeing if the rumor is true or not. Please investigate, and bring any evidence of paranormal activity back to headquarters for testing.
Thank you, PAH INC.
========= END MISSION TEXT ===========
PACIFY: "The Woods"
I have been working on the next update to PACIFY. It is larger than the first two maps and has new unique objectives. I am trying to make it terrifying, and it may be the scariest update yet. I am aiming to get the update out by Halloween (October 31, 2020), but I am not sure I can hit that. As before, this will be a free update!
After this update releases, I have one or two more update ideas planned, and then I will attempt to get it ported to every console.
Thank you again for continuing to play Pacify and sharing it with your friends. It is always fun reading the comments, seeing the artwork, and watching the gameplay and live streams.

PACIFY Farm - bug fixes
I have been rolling out bug fixes since the FARM update released.
Today's update includes a huge fix for random network disconnects. It may have affected the DOLLS and FARM missions. Hopefully it now works great everyone.
I optimized the FARM area some without losing too much visual quality. I recommend setting your computer to 1920x1080 or less and medium quality if you have an older PC or Mac.
The FPS cap has been raised for people with faster computers and monitors.
Several other bugs have been fixed as well and I will continuing to fix bugs as I see them posted.
Thanks for the bug reports, comments, and reviews. I am reading it all and working on as much as possible.
