v1.5.0

We have an option in game to automatically post lobbies to the Discord Server. To enable, go into the new custom lotus-themed options menu. Under Ventlib Tab, you will see an option that says: “Open Room to Discovery” Upon remaking your lobby, you should see it in the PL Automatic Lobbies Thread.

Major Additions

Commandless Guessing

Guessing (Guesser subrole & Dedicated Guesser Roles (Vigilante, Assassin, Pirate)) now use the Shapeshifter in meetings instead of chat. Guessed players now show up instantly as they are guessed instead of the end of the meeting. If more than 1 player dies by a guesser, they will all show up in chat.

Known Bugs

Rarely, players may blackscreen at the start of the game or after meeting. The cause of this is usually ping.
Sometimes, Mastermind may still kill you even if you already killed someone else.
Rarely, players may be teleported into walls. The cause of this is usually roles like Escapist where you mark positions too close to walls.
Rarely when shapeshifting, players might still have their original name.
Romantic’s win-condition may bug out sometimes, meaning you won’t win with your partner.
Players cannot sabotage Crash Course on Airship.
Most translations aren’t 100% complete.
