We're happy to announce a new update to the existing community branch, and a new experimental netplay branch! This branch works on fixing desyncs for various characters, and has breaking changes that are not cross compatible with other branches. See details below!
Community Netplay Branch
Over the years, one of the most commonly reported issues with the netplay system is desyncs. We've managed to identify and fix some instances of this, particularly in matches containing Beatrice and Lambdadelta. This change will be released on the community-netplay branch as an experimental fix, to be merged into the community branch depending on your feedback.
Please note that matches in the community-netplay are not compatible with any other branch. Make sure both players are using the same branch when playing against each other.
New update!
We also have some new functionality for the existing community branch. You should now find a menu called Community Edition Settings with the options listed below:

Ability to disable the screen shatter effect when meta is declared. This should help with performance on older computers, especially during online matches.
Various network settings like setting a maximum to rollback frames and rollback cooldown. Give the presets a try if the existing auto-detected settings don't feel quite right.
Ability to show hitboxes and disable stun in training mode.
Last but not least, a special thanks and our deepest gratitude to Aria, Hexer, Zanaylo and Zari0t, as the desync fix in particular would not have been possible without them!
If you have issues, questions, concerns, or just want to find someone to fight, reach out to us on Discord (https://discord.com/invite/xsgJKjh) or the Steam Forums. We're looking forward to your feedback!

Public Community Beta Patch
On December 31, 2010, Umineko: Golden Fantasia's original Japanese release was at Comiket 79. Today, nearly 15 years later it's returning to the hands of independent artists and fans on Steam via a new Community Beta Patch with support from MangaGamer! We have selected: Sky Leite
On December 31, 2010, Umineko: Golden Fantasia's original Japanese release was at Comiket 79. Today, nearly 15 years later it's returning to the hands of independent artists and fans on Steam via a new Community Beta Patch with support from MangaGamer!
We have selected:
Sky Leite
to be the maintainer of the Community Beta Patch. MangaGamer will provide development checks and support on Steam publishing, while Sky will be the Lead Developer of the content on the Community Beta Patch.
We have a long road map for the Community Beta Patch we are planning on elaborating on in future updates, but the initial release has the following long-awaited changes and fixes to Golden Fantasia to help bring it up to date with modern fighting game standards:

Fix incorrect game speed on high refresh rate display monitors.
Add feature to bind controllers from the main menu.
Fix previous inability to bind triggers (R2/L2 and RT/LT) on XInput controllers.
Fix training mode BGM restarting when resetting training mode.
Fix dummy recording being erased when resetting training mode.
Add quick-actions to the in-game menu in Training Mode:
*Select screen position when resetting.
*Swap positions with opponent.
*Save states / snapshots (Experimental).
*Enable / disable training stun.
Add ability to use D-Pad and Analog Sticks simultaneously on capable controllers.
This Community Beta Patch is in experimental beta and will not be activated by default during public beta. There is not yet a definite schedule or time set for this Community Beta Patch and the beta state may be indefinite while patches are being released. Current or future changes are not guaranteed and the default patch will remain the official game release.
To activate the Community Beta Patch, you will have to do so by following the instructions below:

Open your Steam Library
From a game's library page, select Manage > Properties
Goto Betas and on the top right select "Community Edition" (if this does not show up in the Beta Participation drop down box, please try restarting your Steam Client to clear the cache)
For requests and reports, please see the appropriate threads on the Steam Forums for Umineko: Golden Fantasia.

Steam Remote Play Now Integrated!
