ALSO, BIG NEWS: The game is now 10% off through The 2014 Steam Holiday Sale! This sale runs through Jan. 2, so now’s the perfect time to get the game for your holiday gatherings.

We’ve addressed some existing issues with this patch, but we are always working to fix any new issues. If you have a problem, please let us know at our support site, or on the Discussion thread on Steam.
Patch Notes:
- Made some major infrastructure improvements to significantly reduce the chances of a Jackbox.tv connection getting disconnected from a game.
- Fixed various issues that could lead to the game freezing or soft-locking.
- Fixed some bold font issues.
Reminder: This game is SAME-ROOM MULTIPLAYER! All the games are party games meant to be played in a party setting in the same room, whether it be with your aunts, uncles, and cousin Brian who just got released from juvie, a double date night with your sister and her new French lover, or a just a room full of dudes on New Year’s Eve waiting for the balls to drop. THE balls… the New Year’s balls.
HOWEVER, you can also create an online game experience using Steam’s brand new Broadcast feature, or by using another streaming service like Twitch. However you play… have fun out there, but be safe. We’re not responsible for any injuries sustained while laughing uproariously. Happy holidays!

Before we list the fixes in this release, just a couple of big reminders:
1) This game is SAME-ROOM MULTIPLAYER! All the games are party games meant to be played in a party setting in the same room, or perhaps in two very close rooms, or a large open field of poppies. As long everyone can see the TV.
2) HOWEVER, you can also create an online game experience using Steam’s brand new Broadcast feature or by using another streaming service like Twitch.
Patch Notes:
- Fixed some issues that were causing players to get stuck at the Start screen.
- Fixed issues with long Drawful text entries getting cut off.
- In Drawful, if you type in something VERY CLOSE to the correct answer, such as a slight misspelling, you’ll now usually be asked to enter something else. This eliminates multiple very similar answers to choose from (in many cases).
- Mouse cursor will now be hidden after being idle for 5 seconds.
- Removed minimize / maximize window buttons in windowed mode, as they were causing weird video scaling issues.
- Fixed occurrence of a missing “Kangaroo, Peanut, Albert Einstein or Uranus?” video in YOU DON’T KNOW JACK 2015.
- Fixed various issues that could lead to the game freezing or soft-locking.
- Fixed some bold font issues.
- Jackbox.tv now recognizes and alerts players before they sign in if their browser is not compatible with Drawful.
