New Season Begins！
1. The new season has started. The ranks of all the players have been reset.
2. Adjusted the displaying mechanics of the ranks.
3. The ranks have been separated into Devils' rank and Gamblers' rank.
4. Adjusted the matchmaking mechanics. The Gamblers with the closest ranks will be matched first.
Costume System
1. Added the Costume System. Players are able to change the clothes of Devils and Gamblers in the Wardrobe.
2. Added the Secret Tailor. Clothes at the Secret Tailor will be unlocked after you have reached certain levels.
Save & Compensation
1. Adjusted the mechanics for the Save system. Player progress will be bound to the player's account. Players can no longer replace and edit saves. If save files are lost/damaged due to external editing, we will not be able to compensate you.
2. We will be resetting the Trump cards, Cheat cards, and stakes for all the players due to the data vulnerabilities that happened before. We did not come to this decision lightly and hope for your understanding. Compensation will be handed out according to each players' current levels and at a higher rate than the actual gains for those levels.
DLC - Special Gestures
To compensate all the players, we decided to release the Special Gestures DLC for free for two weeks. After this timeframe, the limited DLC will not be acquirable on the Steam store or in the game. The default controls of the new gestures are F1 for Devils and F4/F5 for Gamblers. If the new gestures don't work in the match after installing the DLC, please try reinstalling the game.
Anti-Cheating Monitoring
We will be monitoring and dealing with the hacking attempts. Feel free to report hackers to us. Players who hack the client data or save file will be banned.

Compensation for Save Reset
We will be resetting the Trump cards, Cheat cards, and stakes for all the players due to the data vulnerabilities that happened before.
1. Cheats: The highest Cheat cards that can be obtained at corresponding levels will be handed out according to each character's current level of each player.
2. Trumps: The Trump cards will be handed out according to each character's current level of each player.
The following list shows the amount of Trump cards to be handed out according to each level.
Example: these Trumps below will be handed to a Lv.15 Angie.
3. Stakes: Compute the total stake gain according to each character's current level of each player, then subtract 60% of the stake spent on Cheats and Trumps mentioned above.
Stake compensation = total stakes - (Cheats spent * 60% + Trumps spent * 60%). Round up according to levels.
4. To compensate all the players, we decided to release the Special Gestures DLC for free for two weeks. After this timeframe, the limited DLC will not be acquirable on the Steam store or in the game.
