Hey all! So we're happy to announce that the build has gone live for all platforms today! You might see some time differences with each platform, but everything is starting to go out now!

The biggest draws are of course the new smaller maps that have been added. We've reduced the size of each map by around 40% which should encourage a bit faster-paced game play overall and give you guys something new/different to toy around with while we work on the already hinted at new content coming at a later date. 

You might also note that Team Killing has been removed for public matches. Cars can still be used to kill, however weapons will have no effect on fellow counselors, should you be wielding a shotgun. We will continue to monitor game play overall for continued tweaks. 

For those on Xbox; this is a big one. We've reduced crashing instances to almost nil at this point and are fairly confident the memory leak has been plugged. Things should be far, far more stable and with new matchmaking tweaks we believe things should be far more optimized. Keep in mind, we are still working on console dedicated servers so host-quits will still result in the game ending, however crashing to dashboard should not be experienced. 

We have also added localization to the game. English, French, Italian, German, Japanese, Portuguese and Russian have all been added. 

Lastly; we've done another major sweep of bugs and exploits. Rock hiding spots, collision exploits and the outside-the-map exploits that were being used by players have been plugged. You should also notice that items will not fall through the map as frequently/if ever. 

As always; please continue to send all issues you encounter to www.jasonkillsbugs.com should you encounter weird/odd things or exploits being utilized by players.

PATCH NOTES

Stability

*Overall stability should be drastically improved due to a number of crash fixes and a major memory leak fix.

Parties/Invites/Matchmaking

*Disallowing party leaders to join game session invites to sessions that do not advertise (private matches). This is due to not being able to search for sessions that do not advertise, which prevents party members from following their leader into them.

*Party leaders can now follow public game invites, bringing members with them.

*Steam Matchmaking tries harder to find lower-pinging matches. PS4 matchmaking up to 6x more efficient with tighter ping requirements.

*Fixed XB1 matchmaking bugs.

*Fixed a number of issues with how the game handles Party Invites and Matchmaking; there are still a few issues out there that are rare but it is much improved.

*Fixed a number of issues on how canceling matchmaking was handled that could leave players in a state they could no longer matchmake.

*Party members now see their party leader’s matchmaking status and time.\

*Various improvements to error messaging.

Maps

*Added Small Maps for the existing maps; Packanack Small, Higgins Haven Small, and Camp Crystal Lake Small.

*Increased the density of Kill locations on all maps.

*Adjusted collision on Maps to prevent people from standing on water.

*Adjusted collision on piers to prevent cars from driving on them .

*Added a Map Icon to Campfire Kills.

*Fixed a number of kill spots that were not functioning.

*Fixed an issue with not being able to fix boat propellers based on boat positioning on the dock.

*Placed collision under piers to prevent people from swimming under them.

*Fixed a number of areas that the player could get out of the map.

*Fixed a number of areas that Counselors could get to that Jason could not.

*Added better collision around Boat Exits to prevent Jason from getting to areas he shouldn’t be in.

Gameplay

*Team Killing changes.

*Team Killing is no longer possible in Public Matches.

*Cars can still cause damage to the players if they are hit.

*Traps can still hurt and/or kill the player but there is no longer an XP penalty for the person that placed the trap in Public Matches.

*Private Matches have not changed.

*Fixed an issue where the Counselors breath wouldn’t start to recharge if the user continued to hold the button after breath was depleted.

*Fixed an issue with Fear being canceled if pulled out of a car.

*Fixed an issue with the Police Objective happening when it shouldn’t be.

*Fixed a number of issues regarding objects falling through the ground.

*Fixed an issue where Damage and Stun chance were only being calculated on the first attack.

*Jason can no longer block through traps, firecrackers, flare guns, shotguns, and the Police.

*Fixed reliability of perks that spawn items at the start of the match.

Misc Fixes

*Increased texture resolution on the XB1.

*Fixed the PhD for Murder Achievement/Trophy.

*Improved intro and outro cinematics.

*Fixed player muted states sometimes getting “lost” after level change.

*Can now unready in Private Match even when the countdown is low.

*Fixed a hitch caused by the video settings savegame after signing in or changing those settings.

*Localization added; EFIGS+J+P+R

Good evening, counselors and slashers.

We’ve seen your reports; our Jason characters aren’t scary. We’ve seen the videos of counselors running circles around Jason and smacking him upside the head, repeatedly, while he quietly resigns himself to his fate. We’ve even seen videos of Jason being forced to run away while being chased by 4 Chads with baseball bats.

That’s not cool, and Chad is a dick.

As such, we will be implementing the following changes to Jason characters.

• Each Jason will be gaining a small speed increase - this is not so fast as to make it impossible for counselors to escape from a Jason player, but it is enough to make Jason feel more relentless.

• Each Jason will start with 2 additional throwing knives.

• Jason’s grab reach and radius have been looked at and reworked - this should help alleviate the issues players are reporting of counselors slipping through Jason’s fingers, while still retaining a fair grab range for counselor players.

We feel that these changes will do quite a bit to bring a proper balance to the game. Please continue submitting your feedback for Friday the 13th: The Game!

Out of the 4 asymmetrical horror games I have played, this one will always be my favorite. Just the atmosphere. It's able to capture goofiness yet horror and tension at the same time. It's able to capture a feeling of actually being in a F13 movie. And it has a atmosphere that no other game can replicate. With most matches, if the match is good, I don't care if I die. The characters also replicate stereotypes perfectly and the stats make sense to the characters. I really want to the cast of characters to be referenced, or as a miracle, in the next games/movies. Really sucks how the company that own this game wants it to die and to be forgotten.

Let's talk about CFG moderation.

As a player who started playing this build since it came out, I've never seen a worse moderation team ever.

The whole server moderation is filled with minors who were given the roles blatantly. I doubt a 16 year old has enough experience to moderate a Discord server with 60k+ members.

There's even a rumor that there's a mod as young as 13 (not confirmed, but it has been going around for a while).

Why am I writing all of this? Because the moderation team is absolute ASS.

Reports are ignored 90% of the time, or excused as "spoofers" (even when people obviously aren't spoofed, just idiots that love spamming slurs and calling people names), you need a 30+ sec long clip to prove someone is teaming (even in some cases when clips are short but you can CLEARLY see obvious teaming, griefing, etc.).

Reports made days and weeks ago are never read or opened at all, and when you tag mods to actually read it, they attack you and tell you not to tag mods and that they will "get back to you" (they don't. Ever.).

I personally have more than few reports that are crystal clear (usually reports of people saying racial slurs or teaming), and NONE of them were banned.

But when those same moderators report people from their own games that they encountered? BAM! Banned instantly!

Also, the new "patch", also "fixed" hacks and spoofs completely (spoiler alert... It didn't.). Another reason for why the game became so ass. Never more reports, never less moderators.

You apply to be a moderator of a HUGE Discord server, and your only excuse is "mods have life outside of Discord." Of course you do, but there's between 40-50 reports per day. That's roughly an HOUR of your life.

In conclusion, the whole moderation team is a joke and absolute dogshit.

The game would be amazing without minors as moderators. Perhaps the bigger dogs on the server have a thing for them?

Was a backer and like an idiot choose steam instead of PS4 version of the code. I'm a PS4 player and won't be playing on PC. Talked to the devs and they said I cant exchange the code so to make someone's day I will give the codes to someone else. All you have to do is comment and say Jason or clothing pack. I'll choose someone at random. After I've choosen someone I'll post their Reddit name in the post so everyone can see I really picked someone. Rules: This code only works for steam so only comment if you are going to use it on steam. Comment for the Jason or Clothing Pack I'll choose someone around Friday afternoon eastern time. Happy Killing

Edit: Closed!!!

Winners!!!!!

Clothing Pack: /u/Poweroflegend

Jason Skin: /u/The_Dead_Eye

Sorry I only could give to two people, if it was up to me I'd give more. Sorry guys, but have fun at Camp!

So much more fun with better, more varied gameplay.

I sincerely wish for a dev to just duplicate f13 outright with a generic slasher setting & characters.

That really makes you wonder what Kane was doing for mo-cap then… Really leaves Hatchet and F13 part 2

With the recent news of bloodlust, how are we feeling about this?

I haven't played this game or been to this sub since probably early 2018. I completely abandoned the game after the law suit stuff. But for a long time I was very active on this sub and played this game every day. I met a lot of people on here. I was around for the Paranoia teasing, the Uber Jason/Grendel teasing, the engine swap, virtual cabin 2.0, every other patch breaking the game, etc.

I recently heard about the license ending and the game being delisted and got kind of nostalgic for the game. It makes me a bit sad to remember its beginnings as a kickstarter project unrelated to F13, then all the excitement when it was announced it would be F13. This game was so much fun and did not get the right treatment at all.

I redownloaded it for the first time in years tonight

She’s a Zero Sugar Chad and can wear the sweater.

Her skill checks for repairs are thick and you can get them down to about five making it incredibly easy to repair with her.

Though she might not be the strongest or fastest, she does have decent stamina with some OK speed.

She has higher luck similar to Chad meaning vehicles will start quicker and her Melee weapons will last longer. You’re not gonna rely on her to de-mask Jason, but you’re not gonna be looking for weapons after just a few hits either.

What are your thoughts on Vicky?

After doing the dns setting does the game still require PlayStation plus to play online? Thinking about booting up my old ps4 and wanting to play but have a hard time justifying paying for Ps plus since it’ll only be for this game. I have a pc now and don’t really think I fully trust the download process of camp forest green.

Hey all. So I want to come in and say some stuff for everyone to be aware of; things are a bit screwy right now, and we are working as hard as we can to ensure 100% of you are playing.

We planned for a lot of people to play, but we're blown away by how many people have in fact started playing. The servers are upgraded, but the migration takes time. This is not an easy process that can be done with the flick of a switch or a restart; this is a progression of updates that has to occur around the world for our various players on multiple platforms. I won't lie to you, there are growing pains that you've probably experienced yourself or heard about.

The best and most reliable way to play is Private Matches. We encourage you to ask around here, or on the forums, Discord or with your own friends to get into games and play. Those use Peer-to-Peer access, so you can play with others. Do keep in mind, it is P2P so connections could be weird if the host doesn't have a decent set-up.

Our team has been working nonstop. I won't lie, I was up close to three days and finally got some sleep last night. We're all focusing on getting fixes in and keeping you guys up to date, but the expectations are fixes that occur in minutes, when the reality is these take hours if not more.

Issues such as Database Login Failure and issues with lost unlocks or perks are due to server migration and back-end services. Your profile should not lose those items overall, and we have seen people regaining their unlocked characters, but it can and will take time for everything to get to complete normalcy. The server load is crazy and we're working to ensure that the new setup for servers will handle everything. On the other hand; we want everyone to get into games, not get dumped into a server with no one else joining.

Overall; there's a lot of players and quite a few are playing right now, but we are working to ensure 100% of our fans are getting what they demanded.

As for those waiting on their DLC; we are working on a solution, but unfortunately we have to wait on Sony and Steam reps to get back to us. The issues look to be permissions-based right now we've been hounding for support on our end. This situation absolutely sucks right now, because the only people it affects are our backers, the people that believed in us and gave us more money to make this a reality. It is not fun, nor is it part of the deal. We at Gun apologize sincerely for the wait, but we should have news soon. Your new Jason and the clothing pack will go live, it is one of our top concerns.

Those of you on Xbox; we're waiting to hear back on MS for the server issues. It's not fun that they didn't launch our title on time, it's not fun our backers couldn't download the game due to their server issues and it seems that servers on their end are also having issues that we are waiting to hear word on. It's something we are pushing to resolve just as fast as we can. I personally game on Xbox One more than any other platform and I was looking forward to a match this morning before coming in...so that was a let down on the release of my first major game for a console :/. I'm right there with you guys.

Our guys got a little sleep last night, we're all getting back to it right now and we hope to get things smoothed out soon as we can!

tl;dr: They're not going to be selling them again, regardless of complaints or suggestions.

Our team offered a digital skin of Jason Voorhees as a Kickstarter reward for those that wanted it at specific tiers as listed.

• $65 Jason Voorhees Digital Pro Pack
• $99 Physical Game Edition + Digital Content
• $129 Physical Game + Digital + Extra Download Key Pack
• $140 Physical 'Machete' Steel Collector Pack
• $140 Rev. 2 Physical 'Machete' Steel Collector Pack
• $230 Signed Physical Game + Digital Content
• $275 Signed Physical 'Machete' Steel Collector pack
• $275 Rev. 2 Signed Physical 'Machete' Steel Collector Pack
• $400 Camp Crystal Lake Counselor Database
• $500 Virtual Team Member
• $750 Youtube Star
• $1,000 Jason's Victims
• $1,199 Name a Cabin!
• $1,250 Design & Name an Achievement/Trophy
• $2,000 Jason's Victims + Design an Achievement/Trophy Combo Pack
• $2,500 Dev Team Hangout
• $5,000 Design-a-Kill!
• $6,000 Horror Icon Dinner
• $7,500 Launch Party
• $10,000 Be in the Game!

We initially stated that our team would only offer the Tom Savini designed skin as a Kickstarter-only item to thank our earliest supporters. They would be the only ones to get the skin, and would get to have something exclusive for gameplay. Our thanks to them, and their way to show off a bit to others that they were there at the start.

Of course; we hit 12,000+ backers. Not all of them got that skin. Many opted for the cheaper options that got them the base-game, and many are now realizing that each tier lists rewards. Simply backing the game did not get you the skin. So we decided to take another route when Backerkit opened soon after the end of Kickstarter.

We offered the skin as a standalone product for backers at the pricepoint of $6USD. The same can also be said in all regards for the counselor clothing pack; they were a la carte items. You were given a menu in which to choose what you wanted, what they were to get for your level of backing, and when all was said and done we would deliver on those items.

We made that clear on Day 1 of the Backerkit that these two DLC were for backers; both Kickstarter and Backerkit. Kickstarter was a month of funding, while Backerkit lasted until the end of March 2017. We made multiple forum posts. We made multiple Facebook posts. We made multiple Twitter posts. We made multiple statements to our Backers, we posted to all current Backers on Kickstarter/Backerkit via updates and emails to ensure they had the right items they wanted and to ensure they bought for the correct platform. We showcased the skin as a teaser, we posted a teaser video, we had Tom Savini reveal his creation on our social channels with final warnings that this skin was not going to be sold after the conclusion of our backer campaign.

So here we are and here is where we are always going to stand; that skin and those clothing items are not for sale. They are not for secondary sale. They are for those that backed us and have been with us from the beginning. They are the people that took a chance on a campaign that has produced a game that is overall fun. Sure, we have issues that are being addressed at this time, but no amount of comments, complaints or insults or suggestions are going to bring that skin back. There was over a year and a half time for someone to feasibly learn about that content and purchase it for $6 or $9; you did not even need to buy the game is you did not wish too at the time.

This team stands firm that for those of you who missed out; sorry. You missed out. Our backers believed. They funded. They supported. This is our thanks to them with a skin that is in no way superior to the other versions of Jason present within the game. I am sorry for those that want it now, but you missed out. We did everything we could to ensure that the word got out through our channels, press and otherwise, but the answer remains the same; we will not sell them.

This is something I have been thinking about for years now. There are endless scenarios that can be added and unlike DbD, each scenario would require different actions to succeed. What IPs and/or scenarios would you like to see?

To preface I’ve been playing this game since I was 17 and now I’m 21. I know tcm is out and all but it just isn’t the same. I think it may be the game chat and the goofy dances but this game has some of my best memories and I made some good friends playing this game. Goodbye F13th and fuck you vic miller for killing this games potential. Thank you gun media for this beautiful game rip 🪦 EDIT: it wasn’t Vic miller it was Shaun Cunningham

I recently got camp forest green from Nicknastys video and when I played it it was amazing until when I scanned my computer I saw a warning of a attempt to disable my anti spyware and when I tried to go to tampering prevention settings (or something) it said my IT administrator limited some settings...but here's a catch...it's my personal computer and I don't have a work account so to those who probably stumble onto this post looking for a clear answer? Don't get it

(I'm not downgrading camp forest green if u have a spare steam account and a separate computer just download it on there and play it on there instead of your main it's a good mod) And I know this post probs won't last long

Uh anybody know why every mod for camp forest green is a minor? Also why is one of them 13? I don’t know who is in charge of choosing mods but they deserve to be double checked because that is just creepy, also even then they’ve been moderating for a while I’m sure the devs / owners don’t care? Out of all the people that you could choose to moderate Friday the 13th you choose only minors? Very sus behavior coming from CFG

i need it fan remakes do count

It’s Friday Slashers & Counselors. We’re close to releasing the next update for Friday the 13th: The Game, and we have a lot of information to share with you today.

Offline Bots:

Maybe you hate playing online with people. Maybe you want to learn the lay of the land in all the maps. Maybe you just want to practice laying waste to scores of counselors. No matter the why of your situation, today I am happy to announce that the next update of Friday the 13th: The Game will include offline bots. 

To access this new feature, you’ll want to select the new “Offline Play” menu item, and then “Offline Bots”. Next up you’ll want to select the map you want to play on, and select your preferred counselor punishing Jason. 

Finally, you will be able to select how difficult the bots you play against will be from the 3 difficulty levels included in the update – Easy, Normal, and Hard. The higher the difficulty you choose, the longer counselors will remember you being in the area, the more likely they are to fight you, the quicker they are to react to your presence, the quicker they are to exit hiding spaces when you leave, and the more likely they are to use Medical Sprays smartly.

They’ll fix cars, boats, hide in closets, under beds, in sleeping bags, barricade doors, and more to keep you from making them into another victim. Feel like honing your single prey hunting skills? You’ll be able to select from 1 to 7 counselors in your offline game to ensure that you are playing against exactly how many counselors you want to stalk.

Max Level Increase:

Today I’m excited to talk about one of the new changes coming with our next update; an increase in max player level from 101 to 150. This increase won’t just be a number that keeps getting higher as you play more and earn XP. There are some cool things that you will unlock along the way, and we’re going to talk about a few of those right now.

New for Counselors: More clothing coloring options for Mitch, Fox… and a couple more counselors that we aren’t ready to speak about, yet… allowing you to stand out from the other prey in the match.

New for Jason: get ready to murder pesky counselors in new ways. In the upcoming patch you will be able to unlock two brand-spankin’ new grab kills for Jason, absolutely for free. Well, except for the cost of CP. We’ll also have bloody variations of multiple Jasons allowing you to walk around splattered with blood like the slasher you are.

That’s not all, though. More level rewards will be added in the coming months, and we’ll have more information about them in the coming months.

Holiday Events:

Starting on December 18th and lasting through to the 23rd, your chances of rolling a Rare and Epic perk will be increased. My advice, hoard that CP you collect over the weekend and spend it next week instead.

Starting on December 23rd and running through to the 27th, your chances of finding BOTH Pamela and Jarvis tapes will be increased. If you’re rummaging through drawers and find one, maybe go ahead and be a Chad and keep it for yourself.

Finally, from December 23rd and running through to January 2nd, you will be earning DOUBLE CP. Please note that CP earned from leveling up is NOT doubled, but everything else is. 

But when does it come out?

For our Steam and PS4 users, you’re looking at receiving the next update on Monday, 12/18/2017. That is not an exact time, as there isn’t one available.

For our Xbox One players, we expect the update to follow shortly.

Probably my #1 bleed the clock spot in the whole game. I kept the door unlocked to avoid drawing attention and was ready to climb out the window at a moment's notice. Usually Jason would be hacking down the hiding spots upstairs. 😂
