River City Ransom: Underground
Patch Notes - Update #6
We hope you're enjoying the multiplayer update!
We've got a lot cooking right now, but didn't want to hold off too long on addressing some bugs that we have fixed, so we're releasing another patch tonight, and hope to follow up again shortly.
Highlights:
<*> Added a cool-down for tutorial pop-ups so they aren't inadvertently skipped
<*> Added visual indicators when a vending machine is empty and when you have extracted all of its available contents
<*> Fixed a possible loss of control bug with the lift to Merv Tower
<*> Fixed a bug where the final boss could flip its body
<*> Fixed enemies spawning too close to players when they transition into a level
<*> Fixed issue where Tex could fall into water when fleeing
<*> Fixed Cliffhanger achievement not triggering
<*> Fixed excessive AI "back-off"
<*> Fixed some hidden objects still retaining physics properties even when invisible
<*> Fixed sound effect issues when multiple identical sounds trigger at the same time (i.e. when defeating multiple enemies at once)
<*> Added a command line option to disable flashing effects that can negatively affect some players (use --noflash)
<*> Added a command line option to override the port the game listens on, to work around port forwarding issues reported by some players (use --port X, where X is the desired port number)
For more information about the port forwarding workaround, see this thread: http://steamcommunity.com/app/422810/discussions/0/135511655650071338/
Patch Notes - Update #5
Now, when you join an online game, your entire personal unlock list will be brought into that game with you. And, when you save the game online (including auto-save), that list will get saved back into the save file that it came from. (Story progress still only saves for the host.)
Your existing save files will be upgraded when you load them. Duplicate characters will be merged. If they had inventory or money, that inventory and money will be assigned to different player slots (it gets merged if you have 0 items and less than $3). Characters with less-than-baseline stats will have those stats upgraded.
For a more detailed explanation about why this patch was necessary, see http://steamcommunity.com/app/422810/discussions/0/135511455872012053/

Patch Notes - Update #4
We've released another patch tonight which should be the last update before the multiplayer progress issues are resolved. Thank you for your patience.
Balance Highlights:
- Milk bottles now have the ability to withstand around three throws worth of collateral damage before breaking. This should alleviate a large portion of the pain in the milk run quest. It's still a challenge with multiple players, but hopefully a more fair one
- You will no longer trigger crime events if your character is thrown into citizens or civic property, since it was clearly not your fault
- Added more starting moves to all heroes
- Added substitution grapple moves that now allow all hero characters to participate in attacks when holding enemies from the front or back
- Rudy now enjoys increased grab duration time so he can perform more grapple combos
- Nerfed character throws from prone position (a.k.a "canon throws") so they no longer do damage, but are still effective for throwing enemies into pits or for crowd control
Bug Highlights:
- Fixed Chris' ability to perform combos and avoid charging moves during flurries
- Fixed move unlock mismatch causing Glen and Provie to not start with valid jump kicks
- Fixed bug where adopting one cat was unlocking the reward for adopting all cats
- Many move fixes across the board for all hero fighters
- Improved our ability to diagnose and fix network desynchronizations

We're releasing an interim stability patch tonight while we prepare for larger changes.
Highlights:
- Fixed numerous stability / control issues when invoking exit modals in all screens
- Fixed dumpsters not being functional in multiplayer games
- Fixed friendly fire not being functional in Arena mode
- Added story difficulty selection to save file data so it persists between plays
- Fixed issues with mid-game arena joining players not being assigned a team or arena stats
- Fixed willpower/special meters not reverting to story levels after an arena match
- Fixed bug where defense-rich items could cause max energy to reach 0
- Fixed macOS builds not storing desynchronization diagnostic files
Update 3a:
- Fixed meters not refilling between Arena rounds
- Fixed Adam saying his story dialogue in Arena
- Fixed "Unknown player left the game" bug when joining multiplayer games
Patch Notes - Update #2
Highlights:
- Fixed bug where games saved in New Game+ mode would become regular saves
- Fixed bug where arena stats overwrote story stats if you used the training arena and exited through the classroom door
- Fixed bug where it was no longer possible to select non-hero unlocks in Arena mode
- Fixed bug where the button used to cycle inventory items did nothing
- Fixed bug where joining players could lose control in the menu system (Exit Arena, Exit To Title)
- Fixed rendering issues in the Pause Screen menus on macOS
Patch Notes - Update #1
That being said, we know a lot of you have run into issues playing the game, and we're working hard to fix those now. Last night we put out a quick patch to fix some of the major problems people have encountered.
I want to say, in particular, that our highest priority right now is fixing the issue where your progress in online games is not saved! This is a larger change, so it will be coming in a future patch (hopefully the next one).
Thanks everyone!
Highlights:
- Fixed bug where stamina increases wrapped around from 255 to 0
- Fixed bug where unlocked hero characters started with zero stats
- Fixed bug where binding the block button would bind it to the menu button
- Fixed bug where you could not access sub-menus of the pause menu while other players are in the menu

Note: If you still have problems with your bindings, try deleting your "bindings.yaml" file, in the game's installation directory.
