Big Bug Update and New Fixes | v2024.10.29

It’s time for our BIGGGG bug update, Crewmates!

Our programmers have been hard at work yeeting bugs that have been creepy crawling their way into the game. Some of them you wouldn’t have seen but trust us – they’re gone now. If you see any bugs disrupting your perfect Impostor plans send us a ticket!

Make sure your game is updated to v2024.10.29 for the fixes.

Okay – deep breath! Thanks for your patience as we got through all these fixes. We’re always on the look out for glitches and bugs that are disruptive. If you see any, remember to submit a ticket!

Hacking

This update is a great time to let you know that the our backend team worked tirelessly to fix the slew of hacks in the last few months which have been impacting lobbies. Combating hacks is like resolving Sabotages – when you fix one another might appear later.

Just like when you see a bug, you can report a hack to us by submitting a ticket. Any info you can send is helpful in making sure we can keep Among Us free of disruptive behavior that takes the fun away (outside of Impostors of course).

Try to be descriptive, and if you can get pictures (or video), then that helps out even more! It’s like an Emergency Meeting – anything you can add beyond “I saw a thing” gives the team a better shot at solving the mystery.

Art Time

We’ve talked bugs. We’ve talked hacks. How about we wind down with some fanart from the community?

First up is a piece worthy of being evidence from Waffles! on X (Twitter)! The Miles Edgeworth drop brought a lot of excitement and seeing art like this made it even better. Literally no objections.

Up next is Nyan from our official Discord channel! They’ve done a very cute rendition of their robo-bean. I wonder what operating system it runs on.

Also from our Discord, we have Whisperjein with a lovely… Mermate? Crewmaid? It looks to be making quite a splash.

Over on Reddit, Wellgooey has been croucheting some wonderful Fungle pals! I wouldn’t worry about being stranded on an island if I had these cute creations for company.

Thanks for sharing your beautiful beans with us Crewmates! Your art brings the team a lot of joy. Remember to tag us on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Threads, Bluesky and Tiktok when you’re sharing your creations.

Pumpkin Time

And speaking of creations – not long ago we shared some cute (and scary) pumpkin carving templates so you can scare impress Crewmates during this spooky month. If you use the templates we’d love to see how they turned out! And if you have your own Crewmate designs tag us on our social channels above!

Ta ta for now,
