Problems with the new multiplayer slasher Friday the 13th: The Game. The new patch 1.02 was only live for an hour. It stole players’ progress – experience points and unlocked perks suddenly disappeared. Additionally, there is a bounty on a young streamer. She is deemed unworthy in the eyes of the fans.
As reported by PCGamesN, there are still issues with the new “Buggy Summer Hit 2017” – Friday the 13th: The Game. A patch for PC went live last night, but it brought more problems than it solved.
Players reported that Friday the 13th: The Game is now constantly losing perks and achievements, and is no longer saving progress.
Therefore, patch 1.02 was rolled back after about an hour. The comment on Steam: “We are receiving solid reports that players are losing their perks. This is really not good, so we are taking the patch offline until we fix it.”
Even in recent years, funny but bug-ridden multiplayer games have appeared out of nowhere during the summer and have thrilled many fans on Twitch – they too have had to deal with problems. Currently, it looks like the slasher based on a famous film series will be this year’s “buggy summer hit.”
Internal issues with “Streamer Non-Fans”
The game originated from a Kickstarter campaign, has some “hardcore” fans who swear by the game and its developers. They are very passionate and dedicated. As can be seen: That does not protect against serious problems.
The sudden popularity is already causing some discord internally. Loyal fans have complained in the forum that streamers received early access to the game last week, ahead of fans.
Especially one young streamer drew the ire of the fans. The young woman apparently knows little about the slasher franchise, but is nice to look at. Her blasphemous mistake: She referred to one of the cult characters from the film series, Tommy Jarvis, as “Ben Jarvis.” Benjamin Jarvis is a male model on Instagram.
This caused moderate outrage among loyal fans and the game developer: “Fucking Ben Jarvis.”
The developers have consequently put a bounty on the streamer. A printed kill screenshot of her character in the game would be signed by all developers and returned, they promised.
