First Battle Chef Brigade update out now, patch notes

A new patch for Battle Chef Brigade has gone live on Switch. The update implements bug fixes as well as general improvements. With it, the Switch and Steam versions now match.

You can find the full patch notes below. Adjustments have been made to gameplay, difficulty, the Daily Cook-Offs, and more.

Gameplay

• Add option to Reset to the pause menu during duels.
• Allow gems in Restaurant mode customer requests to animate for better colorblind accessibility.
• Don’t cull items that aren’t physics-sleeping (would result in ingredients suspending in air off-screen until the player moved close to the items again).
• Make Leave Job and Leave Practice Kitchen button consistent.
• Don’t respawn Thrash if he dies in the Yoku hunt. Prompt the player to retry immediately.

Display and UI

• Fix monster tint issue when off-screen as fire/cold wears off.
• Outline player chef names in judgment screen so that they’re more legible.
• Improve presentation of Challenge mode UI flow.
• Improve presentation of Shop UI flow.
• Fix credits failing to layout properly if Options menu was viewed from in-game first.

Sound

• Move Combat Voiceover to the SFX volume control.
• Disallow Customer VO playing over Dialogue VO.
• Fix Cutting Board FX not playing on the correct taste gem.
• Fix looping Berserk SFX in Chapter 4 if the Fast-Recharge item was equipped.
• Fix music not playing during some load screens.

Difficulty

• Remove single-judge Daily Cook-Offs.
• Fix soft-lock going into Daily Cook-Off by mashing A and B at the same time.
• Fix leaderboard to show the day you submitted a score for, even if you played across in-game “midnight”.
• Update leaderboard prompt to reconnect more accurately based on whether server connection is available.

• Increase points required for Daily Cook-Off rankups.

Practice Kitchen

• Add Trash Can to Practice Kitchen so that table crowding doesn’t force the player to leave.

Bugs

• Fix gameplay failing to pause if the user navigated to the home menu.
