Hello, players!
Here's a quick overview of what has changed:
- Fixed an issue with item drops
- Added progress saving between game sessions
- Reduced the impact of bot holders and multi-accounting
- Fixed a bug that allowed dishonest players to receive sticker packs before the 2-hour timer expired
- Temporarily removed the captcha
Developer Comments:
Since the early stages of the game, we were dissatisfied that the core mechanic of the project was out of our control, which prevented us from fully addressing many issues due to our dependence on a third party.
Additionally, we encountered a major security problem. Due to a vulnerability on Steam's side, there was an exploit that allowed dishonest players to obtain sticker packs unfairly.
With the 2.4 update, we are completely overhauling the internal item drop system.
Roger Miller (CTO) said:
"The development of the new item drop system began at the end of August. It was strategically planned from the very launch of the game, but due to circumstances and other core issues, the development timeline was significantly extended"
We are also temporarily removing the captcha. Feedback from players made us realize we can improve this system.
Thank you for staying with us!
Sincerely,
The VHC Team!
