Funnel Runners Patch Notes — Launch Week Updates

Patch 0.34.28 — July 20, 2026

Supernova Studios shipped patch 0.34.28 on July 20, 2026, four days after the July 16, 2026 Early Access launch. The update focuses on input options, lobby discovery, Training Mode onboarding, and stability fixes from 573 Steam reviews.

Quality of Life

• Reset all key bindings — one-click restore for keyboard, mouse, and controller. See our controls page
• Improved revert-changes button visibility in the keybind menu
• Acid Rain removed from Training Mode — new players learn routing without corrosive weather
• Global session search expanded — browse more lobbies worldwide (Steam lobby cap still applies)

Crash and Stability Fixes

• Fixed crashes when interacting with tornadoes during touchdowns
• Fixed voice chat disconnects and environment clipping bugs
• Fixed items spawning outside map borders and vending machine edge cases
• Fixed fullscreen settings, UI scaling, and achievement trigger failures
• Adjusted item spawn balancing based on launch-week telemetry

Patch 0.34.23 — July 19, 2026

Patch 0.34.23 targeted difficulty onboarding and communication clarity based on the first 48 hours of player feedback.

Balance and Communication

• Acid rain frequency reduced on Training and Normal — read our Acid Storm guide
• Base voice chat volume increased — pairs with the mic HUD from patch 0.34.19 on our voice chat page
• Pause-menu option to report bad behavior in multiplayer sessions
• Umbrella gadget: smaller inventory footprint, earlier unlock, extended grace period when leaving cover
• Spectator and connection-loss VFX updated for cleaner Twitch streaming

Bug Fixes

• Fixed HUD visibility issues and controller binding resets mid-session
• Fixed crowbar and dart interaction bugs, door unlock responsiveness
• Fixed AMD GPU crashes, region lock problems, and unintended player count limits
• Fixed fullscreen settings and achievement triggers

Patch 0.34.19 — July 18, 2026

Crash, Balance, and Multiplayer

• Fixed tornado interaction and AMD GPU graphical setting crashes — pair with Safe Mode if needed
• Acid Storm duration reduced for fairer mid-run weather
• Microphone activity indicator on HUD — hide in settings if preferred
• Session-name profanity filter for cleaner lobby browser listings
• Fixed item pick-up latency, player clipping, walkie-talkie usability, lobby search, and Steam invite reliability

Patch 0.34.16 — July 17, 2026

The first post-launch hotfix introduced Safe Mode at startup to disable unstable global illumination on AMD GPUs. It fixed Doppler Radar and CB Radio microphone crashes, wind and weather system stability, consumable and kick crashes, Sheriff uniform shadows, infinite main-menu loading screens, voice chat quality, and Twitch stream static interference.

Known Issues (Active)

Supernova Studios acknowledges these launch-week issues and is working on fixes. Follow the Steam news feed for daily updates.

• Some Steam Achievements may still fail to trigger — improved in 0.34.28 but not fully resolved
• Toolboard may occasionally be invisible inside the van
• End-game siren may play inconsistently
• Whiteboard drawing abuse — moderation options in development
• Steam lobby browser cap limits how many sessions appear even after global search expansion

What This Means for Players

Training Mode is now the best onboarding path after 0.34.28. Co-op squads benefit from louder default voice chat and expanded lobby search. If keybinds feel wrong after launch-week patches, use the new reset option before your next run. Pair these notes with our escape checklist guide and beginner survival guide.
