What changed

1. Official map — Osaka rework

The seventh official stage Osaka received a layout and visual pass. Hiders and seekers should retest hiding spots — older community routes may no longer apply.

2. Paint and color tools

  • Paint brush resolution improved — finer strokes for edge blending and small props.
  • 3D color picker stability improved — fewer crashes or stuck states when sampling metallic/roughness.
  • Experimental controller color palette added for upcoming controller support — test in Settings if you play on gamepad.

See Controls and Painting Basics for keybinds.

3. Reverse Chicken Race fixes

  • Invisible player collision in Reverse Chicken Race no longer blocks movement incorrectly.
  • Paint display sync — displayed body paint during the mode should stay synchronized more reliably.
