The First Class Trouble update 1.0 is here at last, bringing the online social deduction game out of Steam Early Access and on to consoles for the first time. The First Class Trouble PS5 and PS4 versions are also out now and will be free as part of this month’s PS Plus games list, so a lot more people should be playing the Among Us-like title this month — however, it’s not all good news, as Steam reviews don’t seem happy with the game’s update, moderation, or state of the community.
First Class Trouble PS5 launches and Steam version leaves Early Access
First Class Trouble has launched on PS5 and PS4 and left Steam Early Access as of today to hit version 1.0, six months after releasing in beta and prompting positive comparisons with the ever-popular social deduction game Among Us — which itself is crossing over with Fortnite soon, showing just how popular Innersloth’s online game is. However, First Class Trouble hasn’t had a smooth launch as it has released to “Mixed” reviews on Steam.
While overall First Class Trouble is still sitting on a “Mostly Positive” Steam rating, recent reviews point to numerous complaints — including with a recent update, that one player says made the game “pretty much unplayable now.” Several have issues with the game balance being “off” despite liking the game’s concept. The majority of complaints are regarding the community, however, citing “too many toxic idiots” and reports of poor moderation, bullying, and even targeted harassment. Hopefully Invisible Walls and Versus Evil will sort these issues out as soon as possible.
Full First Class Trouble update 1.0 patch notes
At the moment there are no official patch notes for version 1.0. Update 14/version 0.9.0 arrived on October 20 and brought with it the following features:
- NEW FEATURE: Controller Support:
We know that controller support has been annoying for a long time in the game. We have now hardcoded the controls for everyone.
We also fiddled a lot with the Steam Input settings so if you are using that feature you will have a much smoother experience. - NEW UI: Main Menu
In conjunction with adding controller support then we redid the entire menu to accommodate other control methods better. Now the main menu user interface is a sleek horizontal menu. - NEW FEATURE: Vruumba Customization
You have asked for it and we are here to deliver. We will start out with some small stuff through progression and then we will add more to this later. For now you will be able to change the Vruumba Model/Skin. You will also be able to attach different funky antennas to it and then you will be able to define the thruster particle effect for it. Vrooom! - NEW FEATURE: More Character Customization
We have added more opportunities to our customization system in the form of more slots for customization; now you can add accessories, beards and eyewear. So far we have a limited set of options for these slots, but we expect to add a ton to these over time. - NEW FEATURE: Overhauled Friends System
Now you will search for a player using their Display Name and their unique identifier displayed at the end of your name on the main menu.
This new feature also means that you will no longer be able to change your display name willy nilly. - NEW FEATURE: Block players and matchmaking bans
When you encounter someone that was really toxic and ruined the game for you we have added the capability to block the player. After a match you can simply go to Recently Played players and press the “Block Player”-button and you should not be put in a match with them ever again. Beware that this feature is experimental so it is bound to break. - NEW FEATURE: Party on the main menu
A super cool feature we got in the game is the possibility to see your friends’ cool customization and character when you invite them to your party. Never has it been more important to show off your swag than now. - Miscellaneous new features:
- Added confirmation pop up window, when attempting to block a user
- Added loading screen when the game starts.
- Much more translation is covered and Arabic is now included as well.
- New chill music track for the Main Menu to add variation.
- Music volume can now be adjusted from the menu.
- More sound feedback for the Main Menu.
- Waterfall in Mall level will now extinguish burning players.
- Camera sensitivity slider in settings.
- Added black dress to masculine appearance. Don’t be a drag. Just be a queen!
- Added several new glasses (round glasses, aviators and more!) for both appearances.
- Added the ability to leave your party without having to quit the game.
- Added a drink or cigar to all your party members so they can really show how to be classy on the main menu.
- Added the capability to be bald. No discrimination against the hairless from us!
- Added some Vruumba customization to be unlocked as you progress through your levels.
- Added more eye color options.
- Preparation for many more community and herald twitch drops.
