Custom Mode:
- An all-new Custom Mode is available now. It supports 10-player Duo Hunters mode. Only players who have completed Quests 1-18 are able to activate or be invited to Custom rooms;

- New chat channel for Custom rooms. When waiting prepared, all players in the room can chat freely on this channel.

Improved Performance:
- Modified the texture for some scenarios. Optimized the FPS drop issue in the lobby and in battle (the FPS increase is more obvious on some phone models with ordinary GPU);
- To reduce FPS drop issues, Hell Ember's Phantoms in "Low" and "Performance" modes will be replaced with low-level configured effects;
- To reduce FPS drop issues, the distribution range of the special effects from Joseph's footprint ability has been slightly adjusted, which will not influence their function;
- Added "Performance" mode in graphics settings besides the original "Low" and "High" modes. Under this mode, resolution will be reduced accordingly with some S and A costumes being replaced with low-level configured materials;
- Adjusted the position of the toggle button for costume and accessory effects in settings. It is integrated as a single button. Tap Costume Special Effects Settings to make separate adjustments, e.g., the Feaster's original wheel;
- Added an icon of oneself to the Asylum’s monitors;
- Added Like button on the results interface of Duo Hunters mode;

Bug Fixes:
- Fixed an issue where there were no Followers in the matching room when the Dream Witch costume, Incarnation is equipped;
- Fixed an issue where the model components on the Arms Factory and Red Church maps disappeared when players outside the gate looked inside;
- Fixed an issue where Hunters would enter inaccessible areas when using Blink in the big house of Sacred Heart Hospital;
- Fixed an issue where the Hunter would occasionally freeze when using Blink in areas where there are height differences;
- Fixed an issue where the Perfumer and Photographer would freeze in pallets when using their recall abilities;
- Fixed an issue where calibration fail appeared when Survivors dismantled awakened Puppets. When the Hell Ember switched positions with the Puppet after, the Puppet would still be awakened;
- Fixed an issue where a notification badge appeared on the Notebook after obtaining the exclusive Gamekeeper Pet. There would be no notification badge when the Notebook interface was entered;
- Fixed an issue where Friendliness points may become a negative number;
- Fixed an issue where there was an abnormality when the Photographer passed through the Camera World's projected screen;
- Fixed an issue where The Mind's Eye's heartbeat would be an abnormal color after Camera World is closed;
- Fixed an issue where movement abnormalities occurred when the Mercenary and Magician threw snowballs;
