Version History - Traitors in Salem (2024)

These are the patch notes that can be seen in the Traitors in Salem beta.
The current version of Traitors in Salem can be found by clicking the "Patch Notes" button in the bottom of the login-screen.
As of August 9th of 2022, the game is in Beta 1.14.

DateChangesAugust 9th, 2022BETA 14
New Features:

Now introducing Friends! You and your buddies can now be Friends, allowing you to message them and invite them to play with you!
Added an attack sound for Pirate's kill.
Added ability for Prosecutor to text chat during prosecution the same as the Defendant.

Breaking Changes:

Changed the format for deck manager saves to invalidate old save files. This was necessary due to changes in the numbering used within the save files. You will need to recreate your saved game setups. Apologies for that, but we are still in Beta at this point and occasionally we need to break something to move the game forward.
