Faaast Penguin – Ver. 1.0.5

Release date: October 29th/30th 2024
Patch notes:

“Auto (Prioritize Connection Speed)” has been added to the server selection (Ver 1.0.5)

The “Auto (Prioritize Connection Speed)” option has been added to the server settings. This option prioritizes matching based on connection speed by excluding slower servers, while considering the matchmaking rate and wait times. We recommend using this option for general play, but for more detailed control, you can select from other server options.

This brings the server settings to a total of six options: “Auto (Prioritize Connection Speed)”, “Auto (Prioritize Matchmaking)”, “Asia”, “West America”, “East America”, and “Europe”.

Additionally, the server selection screen has been moved to the home screen.

Fixed the bug where the color variations for the skins “Witch’s Dress” and “Sugar Fiend Ghost” would not change.
