A substantial new update for Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach has today been released. At the end of this past month, the long-awaited Ruin DLC for Security Breach was finally let loose after having previously been unveiled in the first half of 2022. And while Ruin was largely well-received from fans, Steel Wool Studios has now pushed out a new update that should improve the add-on a bit more.

As of this moment, the latest patch for Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach is downloadable and looks to mainly fix a variety of problems that have come about in the wake of Ruin releasing. Although the majority of the fixes for this patch are tied to Ruin, others have been made for the base game. Additionally, Steel Wool Studios has also provided a workaround that has led to some players experiencing black screens during cinematic sequences.

You can get a look at the full patch notes for this new FNAF: Security Breach update down below.

We've been getting reports of players experiencing black screens during in-game cinematics and jump scares. This is due to a corrupted settings file, and there is a simple workaround!
1. Ensure that all mods are fully uninstalled
2. Make sure to enable 'Hidden files and folders' on your PC
3. Head to C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\fnaf9\Saved\SaveGames
4. Delete or remove "PlayerSettingsSlot.sav" from folder
5. This will simply reset your in-game settings. Your save files should not be affected.
If this issue still persists, please kindly contact us at www.steelwoolstudios.com/contact with more information.
