DevUpdate #14: Post Wave Two Patch is arriving!

The changelogs are here, with some very important info about the next update!

Hello everyone! We've been hard at work, and reworking how the pedometer works on Android proved to be quite a challenge. But we now believe that the build we have had in testing is stable enough to be released to the closed beta.

Important! The server will go into maintenance mode tomorrow around 20:00 UTC+0. This update has significant changes to local file saving and how the pedometer works, which means any unsaved steps will be lost after the update. Remember to launch the game before maintenance to claim your steps. During this maintenance, steps gained while it is ongoing will not count when the game is updated, as the steps calculated with old pedometers are not compatible. This applies to both Android and iOS.

This update has a few QoL improvements and a bunch of bug fixes. But the main thing here is definitely that Android pedometer should now work without Google Fit, and should survive even when restarting the phone.

The changes here have been quite massive, so some issues can be expected. The testing has shown some good results with the few Android models we have available.

This also fixes the bug which affected some players where they gained a lot of steps at once. We have introduced a way to roll back player steps more efficiently, and will be going through people who have been affected after the update.

Check the changelogs below for full list of changes! Thank you, and have a great day!
