Happy Birthday Backrooms Cleanup Crew!

Yep, exactly 1 year ago we entered into Early Access with just Chapter 1 and a dream.

Since then we've added player upgrades, seminars, earnable customization options, customizable nametags, a whole bunch of suit colors and skins, 2 new voice actors, 4 new original songs, 1 new boss fight, countless rubber ducks and a whole chapter and a half!

It's been extremely encouraging as a small team to watch BCC grow and to watch folks enjoy the game more and more as we add and improve it. Thank you all so much for your enthusiasm, streams, feedback, and bug reports!

We're currently hard at work on levels 5 and 6 for Chapter 3. Chapter 3 is the most ambitious thing we've done so far in BCC and we're super excited to see it completed and in your hands. If you're interested in weekly dev updates be sure to check out our Discord!

Thank you all for playing, now onwards to Chapter 3 complete!

• Fixed an issue where the indicators for playing the Flower Game in 3-03 would load too slowly or get stuck on lower spec systems

We have been working on improving the experience for players using DX11. While we always suggest using DX12 when possible, DX11 is useful for older graphics cards that don't support DX12 or when avoiding rare Unreal Engine 5.4 incompatibilities with certain AMD processors. Backrooms Cleanup Crew will give you the option to use DX11 on launch, or optionally in the Properties -> General settings in Steam if you have dismissed the launch options. If you're unsure of which to use, always launch regularly first and see if your experience is stable - only if experiencing very low framerate do we suggest launching DX11.

• Fixed a few issues when playing on DX11 with very low framerates in certain areas such as the Wasteland in 3-03

• Fixed a few issues when playing on DX11 with severe sunlight bleed in areas such as the D-Force lobby in levels with sunlight

• Fixed issues when playing on DX11 where certain areas would look drastically too bright or too dark

Hello Cleaners!

A long-requested new feature has been added to Backrooms Cleanup Crew: The Nametag Designer!

Players can create up to 4 unique nametags using an initial set of color options, as well as all the colors they've unlocked by playing and obtaining Gold rating on missions. The designer also has brush sizes, undo, redo and clear options.

Players may choose 1 of their 4 nametags to be equipped. You will always spawn into a level as your equipped nametag, but will re-roll to a random nametag upon death as per usual. However, your non-equipped nametags will now enter the random nametag pool - not just for you but also for anyone you're playing with! You will not see player-made tags other than the players in your party.

We think this is a super fun feature, and we hope you do too! Give it a shot and then come show off your nametags in our discord.

• Allow players to skip Chapter 3 level intros if everyone in the party has already beaten the level (speedrunners rejoice!)

• Allow players that have a rare save corruption issue to create a recovery save file based on their current Steam achievements

• Added additional measures to help prevent rare save corruption issues

• 3-03: Fixed an issue where objects in the liminal bridge area were incorrectly highlightable

• 3-04: Fixed issues where entity routing could become stuck around balloon gates

• 3-04: Tables will now correctly impede entity movement

• 3-04: Artifact Pieces and final Artifact can now be recovered via the Recover Lost Items button if lost

• Fixed an issue where Ragdolls could sometimes block the movement of players in Chapter 3

• 3-03: Fixed an issue where the Flower color indicators may load slowly (likely if Backrooms Cleanup Crew is installed on a slower hard drive)

• 3-03 Hard Mode: Fixed an issue where the duration of the sounds correlated to Flower color indicators was an incorrect length for remote players

• 3-04: Fixed an issue where the entities could rarely kill players from distances 2-3x longer than intended

• 3-04: The distance entities can kill players from has been reduced by about one-third

• Fixed an issue where multiplayer hosts would be incorrectly identified as being Rank 1 in the lobby UI (was fixed in the recent Major Update, but wasn't noted in the patch notes)

Hello Cleaners!

• In Multiplayer, the host can pause and unpause the game for all players from from their escape menu

Low-end, Non-Lumen Lighting

• Major improvements to the quality of our low-end, non-Lumen lighting solution. Lighting for players using these settings will have a significantly better-looking lighting experience, particularly during Incursions and in the Chapter 2 levels.

Item Recovery

• Improved more cases where items can get lost outside the playable areas, impeding progress. While this still isn't perfect, we continue to make incremental improvements against this issue. Reminder that when there are less than 10 items remaining, a "Recover Lost Pickups" button becomes available in the escape menu in the event of a lost item.

Bugs

• Fixed a broken detail on Chapter 2 mosaic tile texture on low-end, non-Lumen lighting

• Fixed lighting on all hazard suits being too dark or too reflective on low-end, non-Lumen lighting

• Fixed special radios (such as the Extra Levels radio) swapping to the default Radio texture when binned

• Fix for the bonus from using a tighter nozzle (more damage) being incorrectly calculated for Mud Balls and Respawn Orbs

• Cleaners will now earn F-Corp Credits after each successful mission.
• F-Corp Credits are awarded based on first time completion and achieving ranks for each game mode of a level. Additional Credits are awarded for performance stats such as washing walls, binning items, and not dying to incursions.
• F-Corp Credits can be spent at the new Employee Benefits Terminal in the lobby, and can be used to purchase three categories of items:
  • Gear Upgrades - Stackable, permanent stat increases such as nozzle washing power and range, holding more small items, throw strength and more
  • Seminars - One time purchases that grant conditional bonuses such as extra washing strength when playing solo, extra washing range during an incursion and more
  • Cosmetics - New categories of cosmetics such as Faceplate Color and Suit Material, as well as additional brand new Suit Patterns
• Cleaners now have a Cleaner Rank based on their lifetime total of F-Corp Credits earned.

• Starting at Cleaner Rank 5, Cleaners now have access to an Incursion Talent Terminal in the lobby.
• Cleaners may select exclusive Incursion Talents that grant powerful new abilities when the Player has Sigil Power.
• While mutually exclusive with each other, these talents may be re-selected at any point with no cost.

• We’ve tuned several aspects of Incursion (details below) to be less unfairly punishing.
• Through the Employee Benefits Seminars, we’ve added a new passive that allows Cleaners to detect offscreen threats such as Incursion Grenades or Spikes.

• Cleaners dying in Multiplayer will now create a “Revive Orb” above their body.
• Any surviving Cleaners can spray this Revive Orb to revive the deceased Cleaner on the spot, restoring their Sigil Power stacks.
• If Incursion ends without a successful revive, the Cleaner fully perishes and respawns as a new F-Corp employee, per usual.

• Two new Seminars available at the Employee Benefits Terminal specifically empower Solo Cleaners.
• The Seminar “Team Rightsizing” grants a +25% multiplicative benefit to washing power when playing Solo.
• The Seminar “The Me in Team” grants an additional “hit point” to Solo Cleaners during Incursions, allowing them to not be wiped by a single mistake.
• These Seminars are available at Cleaner Rank 1.

• Players now earn F-Corp Credits after each mission, spendable at the new Employee Beneifts Terminal in the lobby
• Players can now learn Incursion Talents, available at the Incursion Talents Terminal in the lobby after reaching Cleaner Rank 5

• Briefly show the Cleaner’s current inventory count near the reticle when the Cleaner picks up or throws a small item
• Added an onscreen message when any Cleaner has items in their pocket when pressing the highlight button with less than 5 items remaining
• “Hardcore” Mode is now just “Hard” mode and no longer has its lives-based loss-condition - Hard mode is now centered only around its more difficult attack patterns. This design was old and wasn’t super meaningful, but may return in the future.

• Incursion “Grenades” kill radius now better matches their ground decal indicator, whereas previously they could kill a Cleaner who appeared just outside the ring
• Incursion “Spinners” are now brighter in color
• Incursion “Spinners” now have a more accurate hitbox width along the length of the spike
• Incursion “Spinners” have had their hitbox length reduced slightly so Cleaners are no longer killed by a minor tip tickle
• Incursion “Spinners” now extend more slowly upon initial spawn
• Incursion “Spinners” height lowered to make it less ambiguous whether you can crouch under them (you can’t)

• Incursion “Lasers” now play a sound during their warmup
• Incursion “Grenades”, “Sweepers” and "Duck Shooters" will now cancel their warmup sound if fully cleaned while warming up
• Incursion “Jump Jets” VFX recolored to blue to hopefully make them more inviting

• Level Rank timings have been re-tuned. In general, Star Employee times are faster, Gold times are about the same and Silver times are a little slower. This change is to account for a higher tier of player cleaning throughput with Upgrades, Seminars and Talents.
• Slight reduction in base wash power for Line and Circle Nozzles (They’re much more powerful now once upgraded)
• Slight diminishing returns in power afforded by Sigil Power at higher stack count (To account for Sigil Power being overall more powerful at baseline with Upgrades)

• Translocational Anomalies now have VFX to help indicate their range after being destroyed

• Fix for D-Force cupboards in 1-07 Tunnels not being blocked by their supported items
• Fix for long walkway in 2-02 Pools not being blocked by its supported ducks

• The colors previously rewarded for Golding Normal difficulty levels are now awarded for completing the level on any difficulty (Players will be retroactively awarded these colors upon startup)

• Gold Rank times have been increased by 1-2 minutes depending on the level

• The multiplier on level completion times for multiplayer has been increased, meaning it will be slightly easier to get all ranks when playing with 2, 3 or 4 players
• The increase in washing power from the Sigil Power buff has been increased

• Changed the lobby level times UI to show level completion times for Chapter 2 levels without requiring using a drop down
• Level select now defaults to the most recently unlocked level

• Gaining buffs by clearing Sigils during Incursions will now display in the HUD the # of buff stacks and time remaining
• Washing any surface will now clear when you have a small number of pixels remaining (in addition to our regular check of having <1% of pixels to clear) - this helps clear very small washables or washables with a lot of stray splatter such as blood
• The Tab To Highlight action now points out remaining Washables and Items at 5 remaining, up from 3
• Added a hit effect when shooting an "Object Portal"
• Using the Line or Point spray against the "Object Portal" now deals extra damage (10% and 20% respectively)

• Improved the ability to detect the rare cases where an item has gotten lost outside the level, and then recover it
• Tab To Highlight action will no longer point out the player if they're holding a large object, instead will point to the object
