Far Far West FFW Early Access - Hotfix 0.1.1.17 Notes (18th

Hotfix 0.1.1.17 lands with a focus on fixing what shouldn't have been broken in the first place. The big one: Joker Relentless was living on weapons when it should've only been on the hero, and now it's been corrected. That's the kind of foundational mistake that warps your entire build variety, so getting it right matters.

Beyond the Joker fixes, there's solid quality-of-life work here. Mounting no longer lets you drop Jokers (which was causing stat tracking nightmares), the on-hit damage indicator now actually points in the right direction, and GPU optimization should make the Woodlands map run noticeably smoother. Gamepad support gets some love too, XP Tickets now work with a controller, and several menu bugs that were locking out controller players are gone.

The localization fixes for Japanese, Russian, and Chinese text overlapping are worth noting if you play in those languages. Check the full notes for the complete list of 20+ bugfixes, including some nasty soft-locks and leaderboard issues.

Howdy y'all! Here's another hotfix for ya' ENJOY!

As always, we read and listen to your feedback on our changes! If we added or modified something and the community thinks it shouldn't be this way, then it will most likely be changed in a later update! The game is in constant evolution, and nothing is set in stone, so do not hesitate to give feedback about anything related to the patch once you've tried it out!

QUALITY OF LIFE

Joker dropping is now disabled while using a mount (this used to cause a lot of issues when updating players’ statistics, which is something we cannot fix. Our best solution to prevent this from happening is removing the ability entirely, which should not impact many situations)
Reworked the on-hit damage indicator: it is now reliable and correctly shows the direction the damage is coming from
XP Tickets can now be used with a gamepad
Animals now have proper shadows
GPU Optimization (especially noticeable on Woodlands map!)
