- Added a 'SHUFFLE' option to Custom, visible in the Playlist UI. Enabling this setting will randomly shuffle the order of simulations once the game starts - Fixed potential local lobby controller disconnect crash - Fixed some localization errors - Fixed achievements not registering in Local - Potentially fixed inputs behaving strangely after v2.0 in The Filter. We were unable to reproduce this on our end, so if it still feels weird, please let us know in the bug report form. It's pinned in the Steam discussions. Thank you for playing! - Mike & GDeavid

Machine Party v1.0.7 Hotfix Corrects Translation Credits
Mike Klubnika has released a hotfix for Machine Party addressing a quiet but pointed error: translation credits for the Estonian, Finnish, and Swedish localizations were listed incorrectly and have now been fixed.
What changed
Corrected credits on Estonian, Finnish, and Swedish translations
The patch is narrow by design — a single targeted correction rather than a broad update. The announcement notes that a larger patch is in development, intended to address gameplay and graphics issues that players have reported. No timeline for that patch is given.
For players currently experiencing graphical problems, a temporary fix has been pinned in the Steam discussion forums.
For most players, v1.0.7 changes nothing about how the game plays or looks — but for the translators whose names were misattributed, the correction matters.
