Meccha Chameleon v3.7–3.9 Update Problems — Shopping Mall / Mo Eeyo / BAN / Jump Height Fix Guide
Broke after mid-August 2026 3.7–3.9.x? Fix Shopping Mall learning, Mo Eeyo skip votes, host BAN lists that reset on restart, jump-height / Deep Sea OOB, voice chat flashing on, player IDs, and emote ceiling-cling gaps after 3.9.1.
What Shipped August 9–16 (3.7.0 → 3.9.1)

First 60 Seconds After Updating to 3.9.x
Close Meccha Chameleon completely. Exit Steam and reopen. Confirm Downloads shows no pending bytes for App 4704690. Relaunch from the Steam library. Have every friend confirm matching 3.9.x before friend night — mixing 3.6.x and 3.9.x breaks private lobbies. Host creates a brand-new room after sync. If voice chat still flashes on, confirm you are past 3.9.0. Generic checklist: Problems After Update guide.
Shopping Mall Map — Early Meta
Official still (LEMORION X / consolepcgaming): bright multi-level atrium with glass skylight, escalator, glass-railed balconies, a curved wooden handbag shelf, a bench beside a planter of bushes, white tile, and paint-splattered pillars. Denfaminicogamer / Dengeki confirm the name only; mecchachameleon.net treats coordinates as pending. Early community meta: crouch in the planter recess shown in the still, dual-sample handbag wood/bag colors, skip open atrium floors. This is not a collaboration map — it should appear in random lottery without the collab OFF default. Browse /maps/shopping-mall and /hidden-spots?map=shopping-mall — treat every pin as experimental. Do not confuse it with the Steam Workshop MegaMall - SuperMarket map.
Mo Eeyo Skip Votes & Host BAN List
3.8.0 Mo Eeyo (Enough Already / もうええよ) force-skips hiding time and answer-reveal only when every player agrees — not a majority vote, and not a new game mode (Denfaminicogamer / Steam News). Confirm the in-game vote UI; changelogs do not name a keybind. Host BAN lets you remove griefers; Steam Discussions had been asking for this after kick-and-rejoin abuse. The BAN list resets when the server restarts — bans are session-only, so a new room does not keep yesterday's list. Use the v3.9.0 player ID on the Player Management tab when reporting or identifying users (Dengeki: use this ID when user information is required).
Jump Height, Deep Sea OOB & Match Ending Early
fix3.7.1 adjusted jump height without saying up or down; 3.8.0 then fixed jump height being too high — re-test wallkick / ceiling cling after 3.8.0+. fix3.7.2 closed Deep Sea out-of-bounds (Steam titled the post fix7.3.2 — digits swapped; the real version is 3.7.2). The same hotfix stops matches ending while a Hunter is still present. If a round pops results with a seeker still alive, update past 3.7.2.
Voice Flash, Green Mic Icon & Emote Ceiling Gaps
3.9.0 stops voice chat momentarily turning ON — if your mic still blips at round start, confirm 3.9.0+. The 3.8.0 green mic indicator lights while you speak; that is a HUD tell, not a restore of proximity voice (still disabled since fix3.3.2 rework). 3.9.1 lets you page the emote wheel backwards, stops a fallback emote applying when you chose none, and closes a visible gap when clinging to ceilings with certain emotes — important after the first Emote Contest poses (3.7.0). Survival freeze poses still beat funny emotes in prep. See Emotes & Pose Wheel guide.
