Among Us solves a frustrating game problem

Ostre us The InnerSloth developer has launched a new update, solving a frustrating error in the game. Apparently, some players had encountered a problem in which the impostors trying to kill a crew companion with a guardian angel could no longer kill anyone else. The error was noticed for the first time in November 2019, but Innersloth had problems reproducing the problem and seemed to be quite uncommon, so it was a minor priority for the development team. However, when the team discovered how to replicate it on live servers, it seemed that they could not do it in one that was not live!

Finally, the team was able to attribute the problem to a problem with the time zones. The team's CEO discovered a code line related to Guardian Angels on the live server that had "DateTime.Now", while the server not live used «DateTime.utcnow». Because the code did not use UTC, the protection of Guardian Angels lasted much more than expected. That explained why the impostors could not kill the protected crew companion, but Innersloth has not yet discovered why he would not allow the impostor to kill other crew companions. The Innersloth Tweet explaining the problem can be found embedded below.

While the actual reasoning behind the problem may not be clear, it seems that it was finally resolved! The publication of the Innersloth blog exposes many of the complexities and how difficult it can be for programmers discovering the origin of some problems. Time Entre us has become very popular in the last two years, Innersloth is still a pretty small team and sometimes it can take more time making changes in the game of what some fans would like. Hopefully, this is the last time the fanatics will see this problem, and the impostors can do what they best do again!

Entre us is currently available in iOS, Android, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox and PC. You can check all our previous game coverage here.
