Voice-chat disable + mic icon, touch-screen paint, Switch 2 host cap 10, crash still under investigation β after Switch 2 launch + PC cross-play.

60-Second Fix Checklist (Works After Most Patches)
Close Meccha Chameleon completely. Restart Steam and confirm no pending update in Downloads. Relaunch the game. Host creates a brand-new room β do not reuse pre-patch invites. Test with an official map (Mansion) before workshop maps. Everyone in the party must subscribe to the same workshop map and restart after subscribing.

When to Wait vs Fix Locally
Steam server outages and DDoS spikes happen β check Steam Status before reinstalling. Workshop map black voids are usually missing subscriptions, not patch bugs. Spot guides filmed before v1.2.0 may show wall-clips that no longer work β that is intentional balance, not your install breaking. Report new post-patch bugs in Steam Discussions with your build number; we add fix guides when community consensus forms.
