Patch Notes

Version 1.1 Quality of Life Patch Guide

By Nocti · Last updated

Released June 25, 2026, Version 1.1 added content and changed genetic splicing, controls and accessibility. This is a historical summary of that update.

Version details and scope

  1. The publisher’s release announcement introduces the Tracker archetype and the Lick Wounds ultimate, alongside map additions and new cosmetic rewards.
  2. The revised splicing system no longer requires reaching the first boss before splicing genetics. This changes how soon players can try a different starting combination.
  3. The update includes a rework of charm, input rebinding and accessibility options such as night brightness and additional volume controls.
  4. The Twitch extension lets viewers vote on evolutions, specialisations and Point of Interest buffs, and can use viewer names for enemies in the streamer’s game.
  5. For bugs left after 1.1, consult the July 6 1.1.1 and July 8 1.1.2 notes. For newer gameplay changes, use the later 1.2 notes rather than treating this archive as the latest release.

Set up the released Twitch Companion integration

Twitch integration shipped with Version 1.1. The following sequence summarizes the publisher’s setup instructions; it is not a claim that a particular channel has been connected or tested here. The announcement excludes Steam Deck, so the game running on that device does not establish support for the extension there.

  1. Open the Twitch Creator Dashboard and its Extensions area. Find Everything is Crab Companion and add it.
  2. Open My Extensions, choose Activate for the companion and set it as an Overlay. Check that it appears among the activated extensions.
  3. Open the game’s Twitch controls through the main-menu Twitch logo, or through Settings, Gameplay and the Twitch logo.
  4. Choose Connect and complete the account connection shown by the game. The documented successful state is Connected.
  5. Choose a poll mode for the relevant events and adjust the poll time. Use Suggest when the streamer should retain the final choice, Forced when votes should decide, or Off for an event that should not poll.

What viewers can influence

The integration covers Evolution, Specialisation and Point of Interest choices, including skipping, upgrading and rerolling where those actions apply. It can display the selected Genetic, current Pressure or Challenge, and progress facts outside a run. Viewer names can also appear over animals, Alphas and occasionally bosses, with the named enemy shown on the end screen if it kills the player.

FAQ

Why does the streamer still choose after a vote?

Check the poll mode. Suggest mode leaves the final decision with the streamer. Forced mode makes the audience vote decisive. Seeing a completed poll is therefore not enough to infer which control mode is active.

Does adding the extension finish the connection?

The official sequence includes both activating the overlay on Twitch and connecting the account from the game. Complete the two parts and inspect the displayed connection status rather than assuming that installation alone linked the session.

Do viewers join the game as additional players?

These features change audience participation, not the number of player-controlled characters. Named enemies are not viewers joining a co-op lobby. The 1.1 instructions say that the game reconnects to the linked Twitch account when relaunched; this should not be confused with connecting another local controller or enabling online multiplayer.
