Hey Flock! 👋
The third hotfix is now live for Headbangers: Rhythm Royale for all platforms! Hotfix 3 reduces the lobby timer to 60 seconds and contains fixes to the lobby backfill bugs, fixes to specific challenges and more.
Before we soar into more information around the hotfix, we would like to inform the community that the team are working on an issue surrounding a network error, preventing some players from launching the game. Once we have a fix, we will update the community with this news. We hope to have a fix for this soon across all platforms and appreciate the community’s patience while we remedy this issue.
Hotfix 3 – Lobby Changes:
After listening to players’ feedback from our launch week, we have altered the lobby timer and fixed an issue surrounding lobby backfill! 🤟
At launch, our lobby timer was set to 120 seconds. Many players stated that this timer was too long, that players were leaving lobbies before the two-minute mark and that we should reduce this timer. With Hotfix 3, we have reduced this timer to 60 seconds. Now, players will spend less time in the lobby menu and more time playing our rhythm minigames! 🎧
On our October 31st launch, many community members noticed a bug around players leaving lobbies. When a player left an open lobby, a bug caused the lobby to never refill back to 30 players. In Hotfix 3, we have fixed this issue with server backfill. With Hotfix 3, if players leave during the timer screen, the lobby can still fill back to 30 players. Full lobbies for all! 🥳
