Hello mods, I'm sure you're busy. We unfortunately found an inconsistent softlock in our game minutes before the deadline. What is the rule for updating builds to fix bugs like this? I'm not sure if web builds being updated is publicly viewable info, but I just want to make sure we're being fair.

Thank you.

Rule 12 says "Updates made during the voting period must be bug-fixes only. No new content or significant gameplay changes." so I'm sure it's fine.

Rule 12 of this jam says

"Updates made during the voting period must be bug-fixes only. No new content or significant gameplay changes."

So I think you're good, but yeah, I'd verify with a mod as well just to be safe.

Thank you both. Been in a bit of a frenzy (haven't we all) so I didn't even double check the rules.

Yep, fixing major bugs is the whole reason updates are allowed at-all. Had a Crust Jam 2024 submission that, on every computer but the developer's, crashed trying to display a splash screen, and they didn't realize until voting period start (had to temporarily enable updates for them).
