Following a rough launch, the developers of Funnel Runners have released their first post-launch patch for PC. The update focuses heavily on stability, addressing a laundry list of recurring crashes that plagued players during the game's initial hours.

Key Bug Fixes in the Latest Patch

The development team acknowledged the technical issues in a recent update, apologizing for the early experience. The current patch targets specific interactions that were forcing the game to close unexpectedly:

  • Communication and Equipment: Crashes linked to the CB Radio microphone and throwing Darts have been resolved.
  • Environmental Systems: Stability improvements were made to the weather system, including the Doppler Radar weather report and the wind system.
  • Gameplay Mechanics: Fixes were applied to consumable items, the deal-damage cooldown timer, and player-kicking functions.
  • Visuals: The sheriff uniform shadow has been corrected.

New Safe Mode for Graphic Stability

To assist players currently experiencing persistent crashes, a new Safe Mode option is now available when launching the game. This mode automatically disables unstable graphic settings, such as global illumination, that have been causing hardware-specific issues. The developers noted that this is a temporary fix while they continue to investigate deeper solutions for future patches.

Known Issues Still Under Investigation

While this patch addresses several critical errors, the team has provided a list of known issues that remain on their radar for upcoming updates:

  • Global illumination crashes specifically affecting some AMD graphics cards.
  • Achievements failing to trigger correctly.
  • The toolboard occasionally failing to render.
  • The end-game siren not playing.
  • Lack of a profanity filter for lobby names.
  • Voice chat quality instability.
  • "NO SIGNAL" static interfering with Twitch streams.
  • Infinite loading screens when returning to the main menu.
