It's the most wonderful time of the year again: Halloween! The Halloween event is now active until November 6, and that includes the metagame* and items that came along with it last year. For those of you who already got everything from the event last year, there's still a bit of new content to collect! The metagame now awards the Purple Pumpkin Bucket Charm Memento, and a few new Halloween-themed cosmetics have been added to the gashapon. Better yet, these items are now in their own gashapon!... until the end of the event, of course. Lastly, for the duration of the event, everyone who logs in will get a free Pumpkin KOunter! Happy Halloween!

Bug Fixes:
- Getting a KO streak with a character who does not yet have voicelines no longer results in particles not being randomized.
Miscellaneous:
- Direct map downloads have been re-enabled.
- This feature was deactivated over a year ago and is somewhat slow; using URL downloads is still recommended, as that is much faster and more stable.
- 3 new standard gameplay music tracks composed by miguelangell960 have been added.
- The previous tracks are still available; this just brings the total number of standard gameplay tracks to 6.
- Players are now able to host game servers through Steam's networking functions.
- Due to this feature requiring Steam to function, anybody playing the game outside of Steam will be unable to see or join these servers.
- This option will be enabled by default; it can be disabled through the Network Settings menu under the Host Server menu.
- This feature required heavy adjustments, and is subject to issues during its infancy.
- Maps are now automatically decorated with hanging decorations during certain holiday events, including Halloween.
- This can be disabled in the Video Settings menu.
