The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Update Improves Anti-Cheat, Full Patch Notes

The Texas Chain Massacre's latest update improves anti-cheat and adds several balance updates.

By Ricky Frech

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre was released last month to solid critical reviews and good sales numbers. The asymmetrical survival horror game puts players in the shoes of either the Slaughter family or their victims. Whether you're stalking the world trying to kill your fellow players or just trying to escape with your life, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is one of the better games in the genre, especially when you have a group of friends. Of course, with so many players hoping in, developer Sumo Digital has needed to get its anti-cheat in order, and the latest patch does just that.

Of course, Sumo isn't sharing many of those details in the patch notes. If it wants to weed out cheaters, it can't tell them exactly what it's doing or there's no point. That said, the developers have also introduced several balance changes and bug fixes that should excite players. For example, players will find that Sissy's normal attacks will no longer have a poison effect, making them a little less potent. They've also reinstated the seven-player requirement to launch games, which could make getting into a match take a little longer, but should be worth it from a gameplay perspective.

The full patch notes for The Texas Chain Saw Massacre can be found below. The game is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC platforms.
