SR Patch Notes — March 17, 2026
This patch is mostly about combat feeling fairer under latency and keeping Jane Doe healing from getting out of hand when multiple anchors are stacked.
Combat
Hit registration should feel more consistent now, especially on shared melee-style hitboxes. This is mainly a responsiveness and fairness pass, not a damage rework.
Shared hitbox abilities should connect more reliably under normal latency.
Large desyncs are still clamped, so this should feel cleaner without turning into free hits through bad ping.
Jane Doe
Jane Doe
Survivor
Binding Spirit now rewards focused healing more clearly, while stacked teamwide healing gets pulled back. The goal is to keep Jane strong without letting multi-anchor setups snowball too hard.
Binding Spirit
Single-target max healing is now 85.
Per-target healing now scales by how many survivors one anchor is healing at the same time.
Multi-target per-target caps: 2 targets 65, 3 targets 70, 4 targets 40, 5 targets 35, 6 targets 30, 7 targets 25, 8+ targets 20.
Multi-Jane Scaling
When multiple Jane anchors are active, each anchor's per-target cap is reduced further.
2 Janes: roughly -5 to -10 per anchor. 3 Janes: roughly -10 to -12. 4+ Janes: roughly -12 to -15.
Each anchor gets a slight variance so stacked healing feels less uniform and less abusable.
Binding Spirit Logic
Healing totals are now tracked per Jane Doe instead of one shared total across every Jane in the round.
Those totals now clear correctly when that Jane dies or leaves.
Multi-Jane penalties now fall back automatically as extra anchors disappear.
Dev Note: the point here was to keep solo or focused Jane healing solid while toning down stacked anchor setups. If this still lands too soft or too hard, the multi-target breakpoints will probably move again.

SR Patch Notes — March 16, 2026
A cleanup-focused patch aimed at swap stability, clearer Jane Doe visuals, smoother Brickbattler weapon handling, and a few overdue client-side UI fixes.
Gameplay Fixes
Fixed survivor and killer selection paths so Testing3 works correctly.
Fixed Brickbattler test dummies getting shoved around by Piercing Dash and related stun recovery.
Fixed Rocket Launcher failing in edge cases where its usual core part was missing.
Fixed a swap bug where leaving low-HP Jane Doe could break sprint input on your next survivor.
Fixed local character setup issues that could make your own movement and ability animations fail after fast swaps.
Fixed injured sprint behavior carrying over after swapping off an injured Jane Doe.
Jane Doe
Jane Doe
Survivor
Jane's feedback was doing too much in some places and not enough in others. This pass trims noisy visuals, makes trap information cleaner for survivors, and improves owner-side clarity on Spirit Reversal.
Binding Spirit
Anchor motion was reworked. It now floats lightly and spins instead of using the old bobbing behavior.
Spin speed ramps up while healing, eases back down when healing stops, and respects a max cap.
Removed the old heal radius visual.
Entrapment
Traps now show a red fill highlight to survivors only, making them easier for Jane's team to read without giving killers extra help.
Spirit Reversal
Fixed owner-side highlight issues so unlinked casts do not clear themselves early as often.
Added a local fallback path for more reliable feedback on the casting player's screen.
Status Effects
Added a shared killer-only highlight for Stunned and Slowness using orange fill and outline.
The effect fades in and out smoothly and handles overlapping debuffs without cutting off early.
UI and Visuals
Updated the main portrait slot to use proper actor-specific portraits for Jane Doe, Brickbattler, John Doe, and aceguy22.
Fixed a portrait refresh issue when swapping from aceguy22 to John Doe.
Fixed survivor hover highlights disappearing when standing too close.
Survivor hover highlights now back off if another major highlight is already active on that character.
Brickbattler
Brickbattler
Survivor
Rocket Launcher aiming should feel more consistent now. It has a dedicated client-side aim mode instead of leaning on older shiftlock behavior.
Rocket Launcher
Now uses a modular aim system with forced custom shiftlock, cursor overrides, and ability-specific FOV zoom.
Active aim now uses a lighter ADS-style zoom.
Removed the visible shiftlock crosshair so the custom aim mode looks cleaner.
Dev Note: a lot of this patch was spent on local-client cleanup. The goal was not new power, just making swaps, highlights, and aiming stop fighting each other.
aceguy22 / Animation Sync
Fixed a local-only aceguy22 desync where the owner could lose sight of their own idle, walk, sprint, or ability animations after swaps.
Actor setup now follows the live character instance more reliably during fast swaps.

SR Patch Notes — March 13, 2026
Perk System, Jane Doe Spirit Reversal, Entrapment and Restoration fixes, Brickbattler and aceguy22 buff pass, John Doe Impale and Grab buffs, and a round of bug fixes.
Survivor Changes
Jane Doe
Survivor
Spirit Reversal's two modes are intentional — with an anchor up you're redirecting damage into team heals, which punishes killers who tunnel Jane. Without one it's a personal buffer. Wanted it to stay useful even if your anchor gets destroyed early.
Restoration was silently doing nothing in a bunch of LMS edge cases. Now it just checks each tick if there's anyone to heal and falls back to Jane if not.
Restoration was silently doing nothing in a bunch of LMS edge cases. Now it just checks each tick if there's anyone to heal and falls back to Jane if not.
Spirit Reversal NEW
New active ability. 22s cooldown, 2s duration.
With anchor: 40% of damage taken is converted into healing split across all bound survivors.
Without anchor: 50% of damage taken is restored directly to Jane.
Jane glows purple while active.
Binding Spirit
Healing is now capped at 90 HP per survivor per round across all anchors.
Restoration
Now heals Jane directly at 3 HP/s when no other survivors are around. Works properly in Last Man Standing.
Entrapment
Fixed a bug where placing a trap could accidentally lock your other abilities.
Fixed traps being blocked even when you had charges available.
Killer Changes
John Doe
Killer
16 damage with a 2s bleed on an 18s cooldown was just too weak. Reverting some of the March 9 nerfs here.
Impale
Damage: 16 → 25.
Bleed Duration: 2s → 3s.
Grab
Damage: 12 → 18.
Now applies Slowness level 2 for 1.5s on hit.
Miss Endlag: 0.65s → 1.0s.
Codamental Breakdown
Projectile spread rebalanced. Front density reduced, rear coverage significantly increased. 4 additional rear projectiles added (12 total).
Brickbattler
Survivor
Rocket Launcher
Cooldown: 35s → 25s.
aceguy22
Survivor
After all the nerfs Accelerant ended up in a pretty bad spot. 50s cooldown for a short burst that wasn't much faster than sprinting felt really punishing. Brought the numbers back up to make it worth slotting.
Accelerant
Cooldown: 50s → 28s.
Startup Delay: 1.4s → 0.8s.
Movement Speed: 48 → 65 u/s.
Slipstream Parry
Cooldown: 18s → 16s.
Bug Fixes
Fixed stun multiplier not being cleaned up after Last Man Standing triggered, permanently disabling sprint.
Fixed Slash animation playing twice for all players.
Fixed inventory interaction conflicting with Custom Shift Lock state.
Fixed performance points not converting to Bloodlust correctly.
Fixed highest Bloodlust player not being selected as killer.
Perk System
Perks are earned mid-match by accumulating Performance Points (PP) — awarded for impactful plays like landing abilities, parrying attacks, and dealing damage.
At each PP threshold you're presented with two options and pick one. Perks are small advantages — they reward skilled play without deciding the outcome on their own.
Perks reset at the start of each new match.
Perks are not a confirmed feature. This is an early test to see if they fit the game and add something meaningful — they may not make it out of testing. PP thresholds (currently 15 and 25) are also WIP; different characters will have thresholds tuned to how much PP they naturally earn.

System
Hitbox System
Hitbox system rewritten. All active hitboxes now share one loop instead of each running separately, improving performance.
Sweep accuracy now scales with actual velocity for better hit detection at high speeds.
Added per-frame deduplication to prevent the same hit from registering twice.

Major Bug Fixes
Knocked out a bunch of bugs this patch. More stability fixes coming.
Stun Diminishing Returns (Not Final)
This is experimental. Numbers will probably change after playtesting. The goal is to stop killers from getting chain-stunned repeatedly without making stun useless.

System Changes
Stun Diminishing Returns NOT FINAL
Each consecutive stun within a 20-second window adds 5 seconds to the killer's post-stun immunity duration.
1st stun → 10s immunity · 2nd → 15s · 3rd → 20s · caps at 30s.
Window resets if no stun lands within 20 seconds.
