Hey everyone 👩‍🚒👨‍🚒

We’ve just rolled out v0.3.1.0 for the ongoing Steam Playtest (Feb 4–21). This update focuses on stability, UI fixes, multiplayer syncing, and a few gameplay improvements.

Thank you again to everyone reporting issues ❤️

Here’s what’s been fixed:

• Fixed player death from fire triggering twice simultaneously

• Fixed resolutions not saving across scenes

• Fixed UI scaling issues across different resolutions

• Fixed UI navigation issues

• Fixed lobby lever not syncing properly for late joiners

• Fixed raft movement breaking in Levels 1–4

• Potential fix for victims not respawning

• Adjusted BGM behavior — now only slightly fades when too many audio sources are playing (especially during water blasting)

• Improved player burn meter responsiveness

• Fixed various level floor collision issues causing Mr Glug Glug to get stuck

• Fixed pause menu issue where players couldn’t properly pause/unpause during gameplay

Here are some features & improvements added:

• Game now only pauses in Offline Play Mode

• Added camera shake when a player dies or when fireballs hit

• 🔥 Fire is now slightly more tanky (yes, someone reported that)

• Added version number display (bottom-left corner) to help with bug reporting and screenshot identification

We’ll continue monitoring reports closely throughout the playtest. If you encounter any new issues in v0.3.1.0, please let us know via the Google Form and Discord server. Also, if you're already here (and if you haven't), wishlist and follow FiresOut!

Thanks again for playing FiresOut! and helping us make it better 🚒🔥
