Excessive bloom hotfix
Hi Slappers, Due to an engine issue we ran into some excessive bloom issues on certain cosmetics which impacted visibility of the game. We've hotfixed this by clamping the maximum amount of bloom. This means some cosmetics that had the issue might still have a strange glow to the

Added an explainer to the points for the Showdown teams in the standings UI that says how team points are calculated

Added some debug to hunt down a bug in practice mode that can slow down your stick rotation
Adjusted Showdown team calculations to weigh Top 100 players instead of Top 10%. Now it uses a weighting of: Top 100, Top 50%, Average points of players that have crossed the minimum contribution threshold

Hi Slappers,
We've made some improvements to the rendering techniques within Slapshot that should improve compatibility for older devices and (slightly) improve frame rates for newer ones.
For those familiar with rendering techniques, this is what we've done:
~~Defaulted the game to DirectX12, with DirectX11 as a fallback~~ We have reverted this due to performance issues with AMD GPUs.
Improved support for Vulkan (preferred) and OpenGL ES 3.0 (if it really has to).
Completed porting of our URP render passes to RenderGraph
Fixed a GPU callback issue from a third party library when using DirectX12
Make sure your GPU drivers are up-to-date!
We hope to improve support for integrated graphics with this update. Even though we don't officially support integrated graphics since it falls below our minimum specs, we will try to improve compatibility where we can. These changes should also have a positive impact on emulating the game on Linux and Mac.
If you're experiencing issues starting the game, you can put -force-vulkan into the launch options to use a different rendering technique. (Right-click Slapshot in Steam -> Properties to find the launch options).
GLHF,

Fixed the last remaining crashes caused by the game engine update (If you do experience a crash, please make a ticket in ⁠help!),
Added a new volume slider for "Crowd" so you can control ambience and crowd noises separately,
Made the default volume for the dash recharge alert 0 while we rethink the sound,
Fixed a bug where the replay would not find the puck correctly after the first replay happened,
Made the camera transitions snappier, reducing the time they take in most scenarios,
Removed the camera transition from replay to your player character after a replay has ended,
This patch resolves the most urgent issues and requests that have made their way to us. If you experience different issues or have requests to drastically improve your experience with Slapshot feel free to let us know in ⁠Discord or through a reply to this post / new post in the Steam forums.
We're very happy with the first 24 hours of the Showdown event, the Yetis are pulling ahead but the Goats and Puffins are not too far behind. Let us know if you're enjoying the event and how we can make them even better the next time around!

Hi Slappers, welcome to Season 3!
Hop on the ice to participate in the new events in the refreshed arenas ːreboundː
Introducing the Slapshot Showdown
For the next 14 days, you can participate in the showdown by selecting one of three teams to represent. When you sign to a team, you'll receive their jersey and title. Play matches to contribute points to your team, earn more rewards, and help your team win the event.
You can pick between the Pink Puffins, Yellow Yetis, and Green Goats. The team score is weighted so your contribution matters, no matter how small. Select your team's role in ⁠Slapshot⁠showdown-role to show loyalty to your team in Discord!
This is our first time running an event like this, so we might need to tweak some of the balancing as we go. We appreciate your patience and understanding throughout this experiment. Let us know how you feel about the event so we know if we should create more of these in the future ːtrainerbuddyː
Changelog
General
Updated from Unity 2020 to Unity 6.2 (Should bring some performance improvements out of the box) (Yes it was a nightmare to upgrade)

Added the Slapshot Showdown event
Reworked the in-game crowd from scratch to be more immersive and react to gameplay

Fixes

Summertime!
To deal with the temperatures climbing again in most of the world, we've moved the locker room to the beach!
Bumping nerf
The first task of the new Gameplay Council was to find a better balance for bumping other players. They have landed on a 15% nerf without impacting environmental bumps (like bumping off the boards). This will make battles for the puck more interesting! If you have any feedback, please let us know!
Cosmetics
Added Golf Club stick
Added Cloud Jersey
Added Wrench Stick
Added Pigeon Hat
Added Penguin Buddy
Adjusted the ghost pants material to match the new material for the rest of the ghost set
Season 3
A new season is in production with a full announcement coming soon. This season will focus on in-game events to earn more exclusive items in a fun way instead of a new season pass. The existing season passes will receive a small rebrand to avoid confusion with the ranked seasons (your progress will not be affected). The new ranked season will come with ranked rewards, a soft reset, and matchmaking/rating improvements. We'll release more information with the season announcement!
Canada Day & 4th of July
From now until July 7th, you can claim the Canada and USA sticks for free!
