The Treasure Goblin costume can now be purchased from the Quest Store!

A new version of Murder Mystery has been released to all regions.

This version converts most in-game assets to a resource pack, improving performance, reducing "pink glitch," and laying the groundwork for future planned updates.

Changes

• Converted most game assets to be resource pack driven
• Added updated coin model, with spawn animations
• Added new, better-performing sheriff hat particles
• Moved sliding and pivoting doors to be client-side animated

We hope this update improves framerates while playing Murder Mystery. We also hope that Murder Mystery players will now see the "pink glitch" less often.

If you find any bugs, please report them on our forum.

We hope you enjoy this update. More updates are on their way!
