Barbecue Patch Notes — June 23, 2026
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
This update focuses on stability, saves, and performance. It brings together many fixes reported by the community, along with several quality-of-life options.
Engine and Performance
- Updated the game engine to a newer version.
- The game now ships with all its dependencies and launches without any extra installation.
- Improved overall performance.
Gameplay
- The sausage revive has been significantly improved and now works as intended.
- A player who dies now drops the item they were holding.
- The fire extinguisher is more effective and puts out fires faster.
- Added the mallet, available in the shop, to move barbecues around.
Visuals
- Meat trays now display correctly on low and medium graphics quality.
Bug Fixes
- After a ragdoll fall, the player now gets back up exactly where they fell, instead of being teleported elsewhere.
- The "Light cannibalism" achievement now unlocks correctly.
Saves and Loading
- Barbecues are now saved and reloaded correctly, with no duplication.
- The delivery truck is now saved correctly and no longer reappears in the middle of the garden.
- Improved the overall reliability of the save and load system.
- Difficulty settings are now applied correctly again when loading a game.
Death and Resuming a Game
- The mode that lets you continue after all players have died now works correctly, including after a death by fire: the player no longer dies again immediately after resuming.
- When a game is saved while a player is dead and then everyone leaves, that player now returns with half their health, at a safe spawn point, and can take damage again. Previously, they came back with an empty health bar and were invincible.
Delivery Truck
- The delivery truck can no longer appear twice.
- The delivery truck no longer gets stuck on the road without moving.
Multiplayer
- Client players now see the items that pedestrians take from the shop.
Quality of Life
- Added an option to adjust the cursor size.
- Added an option to adjust the cursor opacity.
- Added a button in the pause menu to save the game at any time.
- Added a menu listing friends currently in-game so you can join them directly from the main menu.
