What changed

1. Voice chat controls

  • Added an option to disable voice chat entirely.
  • Added a microphone icon at the top of the screen when audio input is detected.
  • Changed the default so incoming voice is muted (unmute listen separately).
  • Your own mic still starts muted as of v3.5.0 — unmute before assuming hardware failure.
  • Fix path: Voice Chat Not Working · Mic Not Working.

2. Spectator, lobby UI, and join limits

  • Fixed Right Shoulder failing to switch the spectated player.
  • Fixed UI freeze after refresh in the user management tab.
  • Fixed cases where certain maps loaded by default.
  • Fixed the max player limit being ignored when many users join at once.

3. Paint cursor & brush stick

  • Brush size via stick returns the cursor to its original position afterward.
  • Fixed mouse-mode cursor jumping to the wrong place when entering Paint Mode.
  • Fixed the cursor getting dragged / pulled after certain actions.

4. Switch 2 hosting

Player checklist after updating

  1. Restart the client → confirm v4.1.1 on the title screen.
  2. Open voice options: decide disable voice vs unmute incoming + your mic.
  3. Watch for the mic icon when speaking — if it never appears, check Windows / OS mic permissions.
  4. Switch 2 hosts: plan lobbies for ≤10 players until the temporary cap is lifted.
  5. Retest paint brush size on stick/mouse if cursor felt “sticky” before.
  6. Version mismatch with friends? Version Mismatch.

Still true from v4.1.0

Join codes, Kyoto / Art Museum, Greece / Egypt reworks, and taunt cooldown rules from v4.1.0 remain the multiplayer baseline.

Common player questions — written for search and AI citation.

What changed in Meccha Chameleon v4.1.1?

v4.1.1 adds an option to disable voice chat, shows a mic icon when audio input is detected, mutes incoming voice by default, fixes spectator shoulder-button switching and user-management UI freezes, enforces the max player limit under join spam, fixes paint cursor drag/mouse-mode jumps, and temporarily caps Switch 2 hosted sessions at 10 players (was 12).

Is v4.1.1 the current live Steam build?

Yes — Update 4.1.1 (September 15–16, 2026) is the current public branch after BIG UPDATE 4.1.0. Confirm the title-screen build matches your lobby.

Does the game still have proximity voice chat?

Yes. Voice is still built in. From v4.1.1 you can fully disable voice chat in options, and incoming voice starts muted — unmute listen and talk separately. See Voice Chat Not Working.

Why is Switch 2 lobby size lower?

Hosts on Nintendo Switch 2 are temporarily limited to 10 players (down from 12) while join-capacity issues are addressed. Steam hosts keep prior limits; recommended party size is still about 2–10.
