The official list of patch notes were shared on the Texas Chain Saw Massacre subreddit over the weekend.

  • This also fixes an issue causing FPS drops when attacking or grappling with opponents while running the game on Ultra settings with appropriate hardware.
• Fixed: Voice chat not working in lobbies for party members
  • This fix is for an issue where party members would lose voice chat functionality once in a lobby.
• Fixed: XP Progression

• Fixed: Various Crashes and Freezes
  • This includes a PS4 crash related to unlocking trophies.
  • This also includes a fix for high level players experiencing a crash on the match results screen.
• Changed: Key Rebinding
  • We’ve added key rebinding to the PC version of the game.
• Changed: Lobbies will now launch with 6 players
  • This change should help lobbies get running smoother, quicker, and with less drops due to incomplete lobbies.
  • Leatherface is STILL required for a match.
• Changed: Quick Match Menu
  • We’ve moved Quick Match to the top of the menu options when looking to join games.
  • Quick Match will result in not only quicker matchmaking into a lobby, but also fuller lobbies.
• Changed: PC Removed from Cross Play
  • We are temporarily separating PC from the console player base in cross play while we continue to improve our anti-cheat tools and resources.
• Tuning: EAC and Anti Cheat Improvements
  • We have made several improvements to our anti-cheat and protection from additional cheat resources.
  • We’ve also improved our tracking and logging for cheat detection and consistent future improvement.

Most notably, these patch notes temporarily remove PC from cross-play. Here’s hoping that the related issues are solved soon and PC players can resume enjoying the horrors with their console companions. Bookmark our Texas Chain Saw Massacre topic page for more on the asymmetrical horror game.
