📢 Quick Update on Task Bar Hero! Bug Fixes & Change of Plans 🛠️
Hey everyone! I’ve got some fresh (and urgent) news straight from the Task Bar Hero development team. There’s a mix of good and bad news, so make sure to check out the details:
📦 1. The Missing Chests Bug (Fixed!)
If you’ve been playing lately and noticed that your chests weren't showing up, don't worry—they just deployed a quick hotfix to patch it up.
However, to keep from completely crashing the Steam servers, they had to implement a slightly "weird" temporary workaround:
Chests will stack up: The game will now hold your requests and deliver your chests all at once in bulk instead of one by one.
What to do if you don't see them? If you have a ton of chests stacked in your Steam inventory, the trick is to go to Mailbox ➔ Refresh ➔ Claim Chest ➔ Open Chest. You might need to repeat this a few times.
⚠️ Important Tip: If you have a lot of stacked chests, do not open a chest immediately after receiving it. Instead, hit the Refresh button first so the system can properly load the maximum amount of chests you have pending.
They know this isn't the smootjenst experience right now, but it's an emergency measure while they work on a permanent fix. Let's show them a little patience!
⏳ 2. Tomorrow's Update Has Been Postponed
Remember the new "Relay Server" they were supposed to add tomorrow (Monday) to block out the bots? Well, it has been put on hold for now.
During testing, the devs realized that this measure isn't enough to handle the massive, continuously growing number of concurrent players we have right now.
What's the new plan?Instead of a temporary band-aid patch, they are going all-in and building their own dedicated servers. This will fix the issue fundamentally and completely take the heavy load off of Steam's servers.
There is no locked date for this major server migration yet, but they will let us know as soon as it's ready. The team apologized again for the repeated delays, but it's clear they prefer to do things right rather than rushing something that might break again.
I'll keep you posted on any further updates! Were any of you experiencing the missing chest bug? Let me know in the comments! 👇
