Version 13.4.1 is now live!

Hello everyone. Following the recent conclusion of the Christmas event update, we’re launching a hotfix with numerous balance changes, bug fixes, and backend system updates.

SCP Balance Changes

SCP-096

• Increased docile movement speed to 3.9m/s (from 3.64).

• SCP-096’s screams can now be heard from further away.

• Decreased damage of SCP-096’s primary attack to 60 (from 85).

• SCP-096’s Charge now deals 35 damage to non-targets (from 45).

• Decreased initial Hume Shield to 450 (from 600).

• Decreased maximum Hume Shield to 900 (from 1200).

• When entering rage, Hume Shield no longer halves.

• Increased the delay before Hume Shield regenerates to 15 seconds (from 10).

• Hume Shield now regenerates twice as fast while Try Not to Cry is being used. This does not affect the delay before Hume Shield begins to regenerate.

SCP-939

• Base health increased to 2700.

• Reduced sprint speed to 6.8m/s (from 7).

• Reduced maximum stamina to 10 seconds of usage (from 13).

• Reduced Mimicry’s cooldown to 3 seconds (from 10).

• Reduced Claw attack speed to 0.8s between attacks (from 0.6).

• Active generators now produce sound ripples, aiding in pinpointing their locations.

SCP-049-2

• Increased maximum speed from Lobotomized Bloodlust to 5.4m/s (from 5.17).

• Consuming a corpse will now temporarily max out Lobotomized Bloodlust’s speed increase for a few seconds.

• Targets marked by SCP-049’s Good Sense of the Doctor will now show the indicator to SCP-049-2 instances.

SCP-079

• Rooms connected by an elevator will now have an icon on SCP-079’s map. Clicking this icon allows SCP-079 to directly visit the room at the top of the elevator.

• Disabled ability to switch zones by using movement keys. A setting has been added to re-enable this behaviour.

Improvements and Bug Fixes

• Re-added the new SCP-049 and door audio.

• Improved Spectator HUD and Muting Settings.

  • ‘Mute other spectators’ no longer mutes the end-game round summary and pre-game lobby voice chats.

  • Added a ‘Mute pre-game lobby’ option.

  • Added an option allowing users to mute the end-game round summary screen in the settings menu.

  • All mute options are now additionally available in the settings menu.

  • Role names on the spectator player list have been shortened where possible.

• Added Hitmarker sound indicators.

• Optimized memory usage by the Hotkey system.

• Fixed “access denied” sounds not triggering properly by locked generators.

• Fixed video setting sliders not permitting typing in decimal numbers.

• Fixed the showtag command being overridden by the badge preference setting.

• Added Dutch translations.

• Added Galician translations.

• Added Turkish translations.

Technical and Backend Changes

• SCPs no longer look strictly for human players when trying to find targets. Now uses a team-based approval system.

• Added the IsStatic property to primitive objects. This disables constant position syncing.

• Improved QR codes in the Remote Admin console.

• Made multiple optimizations related to querying users in Remote Admin.

• Improved Staff Chat

• Removed Staff Chat from the Administration tab — it now has its own tab.

• When sending a message, the input will now be cleared automatically.

• Messages can now be sent with the ‘Enter’ key.

• Staff Chat now utilises a user’s group colour instead of one based on their current role.

• Fixed instances of LocalAdmin input occasionally being mishandled.

• Patched multiple vulnerabilities related to the Remote Admin console.

• Fixed player queries incorrectly being logged as accessing IP addresses.

• Fixed query data incorrectly being copied based on prior queries.

• Fixed IP Address Passthrough being ignored when querying multiple players.

Keep your eyes peeled for further updates on the horizon.
