Hello Tricksters! Thanks for all your feedback over the weekend, including during Saturday Night Trivia! This hotfix addresses several key areas of improvement that players brought to our attention.

This hotfix to the Workshop Beta addresses the following issues...
New Features & Fixes
- In response to player feedback about the time it takes to deselect the standard categories, we’ve added a new button that turns off every category (Including Workshop).
- The "Friends Only" tick-box in the Create & Update menus has been replaced with a new selector that allows for three options; “Public”, “Friends Only” and “Hidden”.
- Workshop packs that have already been downloaded to the player's machine will no longer be redownloaded every time they are used, significantly speeding up game start time.
- In addition, Trivia Tricks has less of a wait between downloading each Workshop file, which will also improve the speed of the download process.
- While being asked a question from the Workshop, the UI will display the name of the Workshop category as it is titled on the Workshop rather than the name of the csv file.
- Fixed a bug where the Workshop Update Pack “visibility” setting did not work, and was instead using the visibility setting set of the last uploaded Workshop pack.
- Potentially mitigated a crash that could be caused by joining multiple lobbies that had been playing with Workshop packs within the same game session.
- Fixed a bug where players had to click twice to use the textboxes in the Create & Update menus.
- Fixed a bug where the player's caret would move to the end of the textbox if they tried to type in the middle of the text. This fix applies to all textboxes in the game.
- Fixed Mr Tricks' thinking sound ignoring the players volume settings.
Fixes Resolved In a Previous Beta Release
- Fixed an issue where, after subscribing to five or more Workshop Categories, a random Workshop Item would be missing in the categories menu.
- Added a validation check so exact copies of the Example Workshop pack cannot be uploaded.
- Fixed an issue where Trivia Tricks would save the player's game after a Workshop question was asked, instead of at the end of the round.
The following “known issues” have been logged and we are actively looking at resolutions before the beta is over. Thanks to all players who took the time to report bugs and help grow this list!
Known Issues
- We are investigating an issue where, if your Workshop Image contains an underscore or accented character, that the Workshop pack will fail to upload with a message that Trivia Tricks “Couldn’t find a folder to upload”.
- We are aware of issues where the Workshop Create/Update will sometimes fail and needs to be retried. We're looking at methods to increase the reliability of these actions.
- We are aware of an issue where client and host category menu 'allowed' numbers become desynced if the host is subscribed to Workshop packs clients cannot see.
- We are investigating reports that Workshop questions sometimes repeat between game sessions.
- We are investigating if it will be possible to give more useful feedback if the host tries to play with a Workshop Pack that not all clients can see.
Thanks again for following Trivia Tricks!
