Subjects,

This update brings Player Polls, a new way to vote on changes to Deceit 2 from inside the game. It also adds a “Try Role” button in the roles tab for Practice games, changes how the Observer gets their information, and brings a batch of menu and gameplay fixes.

PLAYER POLLS

The Player Polls window, showing an open poll you have voted in

You can now vote on the future of Deceit 2 from inside the game. Player Polls ask you about changes we’re considering, and your answers help shape what we work on next.

Open the Start menu and choose Player Polls, just under Settings. A dot on the menu icon and on the button means there’s a poll you haven’t voted on yet.

How polls work:

  • Each poll has a few questions. Answer or skip each one, check your answers, then submit. Votes are final.
  • Results stay hidden until a poll closes, so early votes can’t sway anyone. Once it closes, you can see how everyone voted. Yes or No questions need 70% Yes to pass.
  • The History tab keeps every past poll and its results.
  • Voting is open to players who have made a purchase in Deceit 2, such as Shillings or a DLC pack. Everyone can read the polls and see the results.

PATCH NOTES

IMPROVEMENTS

  • The Observer now has to use their scan to see who completed a task. Tasks completed at night aren’t recorded.
  • Roles: View Glossary now opens on the role you’re looking at, and Back returns you to it.
  • After jumping to the Store from the Roles or Season tab, or to the Crypt from the Season tab, Back now returns you to where you came from.
  • Collection screens now fill in by themselves when your profile or the shop finishes loading.
  • The menu now tells you when equipping a cosmetic, smashing a Blessing or changing your leaderboard visibility fails, instead of quietly undoing it.
  • Mutations won in the Crypt now have a Glossary button.
  • Daily Challenges now show a spinner while refreshing. Collect buttons read “Collecting…” until your reward is confirmed.
  • The expired rewards button in Daily Challenges now has a controller button.
  • The event announcement can now be closed with Back.
  • Updated translations.
