Hello, my dear players,
Since I changed my phone and Steam Guard device, I have a 72-hour restriction on my account, so I won't be able to release version 1.0.3 to the public branch for the remaining 2 days. In this version, I fixed things like Japanese font bugs, map bugs, and added an interface for lobby settings while in the waiting area, so you can adjust simple settings such as the number of player killers who are hosts, the number of protectors, etc. Other than that, I've made a lot of fixes and I'd like to thank the nice people here on Discord for letting me know about some bugs and ideas.
For those of you who know me, I take care of my community and I'm there as much as I can be. I can't develop very fast on my own, but I try to keep the game up to date as much as I can, and a lot of that is based on what you guys want, sometimes by voting or taking note of your ideas.
You can be a part of this game by joining my Discord server and subscribing to my YouTube channel. I also try to support all the creators who help me spread the word about my game, even if they are small accounts with a small audience, so we can be more effective if we grow our audience.
Confidential information: I add some players' names or what they share to the game map as a souvenir.
I love you guys...

FAQ
Q: Why doesn't the game open or closes as soon as it opens?
A: You may not meet the system requirements or one of the background windows may be interfering. I try to keep it as optimized as possible, but Unity HDRP only allows so much.
Q: Why is my voice in-game not getting through to players the way I want it to?
A: We use Steam for voice communication, so you must set your voice communication settings correctly via Steam.
-
Q: Why do I have so much lag when playing the game?
A: NO STRANGERS uses a P2P network infrastructure, which means you are paired with the player who set up the lobby, not a dedicated server, so if the HOST PLAYER who set up the lobby has a bad connection or device, you will be affected. So I can't do anything about your connection problems.
-
Q: I can't connect to some lobbies, or my friends can't connect to my lobby, why is this happening?
A: This can happen for a few different reasons. Some of the possible reasons include:
VPN or Firewall Restrictions: If you are using a VPN or your firewall restricts certain ports, this may make it difficult to access some lobbies. Try turning off the VPN or allowing the game's required ports on the firewall.
Connection Quality and Latency: Since the game relies on a peer-to-peer (P2P) connection structure, your connection quality and latency with other players may affect your access to the lobby. High latency or poor connection quality may cause you to be unable to connect to some lobbies.
NAT Type and ISP Restrictions: Some internet service providers (ISPs) in particular may restrict P2P connections. You can check to see if your ISP imposes any restrictions on P2P connections, or you can review your modem settings to resolve issues with NAT type.
If you continue to experience connection problems, try turning off the VPN if possible and using a reliable, stable network connection.
