The final update of this year. Welcome to Treason Update #11! Without further ado, let's get right into it.

The highlight of this update is native Linux support. We have ported Treason to Linux, which was quite more complicated than just hitting "compile" on the source code. Be warned, if you had Treason installed before with the Windows build on your Linux machine, you MUST uninstall the game completely and reinstall it again, because of capitalization issues with our assets that Steam does not fix with an update, only with a full reinstall. Can't do anything about that, sorry!

The rest of the update was focused on implementing feedback from you, our community, after a very complicated update #10, which took a lot of our time. Thank you for helping us shape the game to make it better! We promise to keep updating the game with more exciting stuff in 2026!

Full list of changes

Hello!

We've been working behind the scenes on getting Treason to work natively on Linux, and we would like to get your help in it.
We've pushed a brand new beta branch called linux_testing for both game client and dedicated server and we would like you to test it out before we can officially push it to the main game. It is compatible with the public build, meaning you can connect from Linux beta to public servers running the main Windows build.

To download a Linux dedicated server, you can use steamcmd:
[code]steamcmd +login anonymous
app_update 1875500 -beta linux_testing validate[/code]

Please direct your feedback to our Discord server at https://discord.gg/fGvfTyYGge.
Thank you for sticking with us!

Stability

• Temporary (or not) workaround for low model quality causing player models to render inadequate decals and crash the game (disabled LODs entirely for now; probably not going to come back any time soon, unfortunately)
  

Hello and welcome to our latest and greatest update for Treason! This has been the longest update to make, but we have a lot of things to share with you! We hope you like it.

We're starting off by introducing global Steam Leaderboards. This is launching as an experiment, so we've only added a handful of things to track, but more are coming in the future! Right now they include total score earned, number of bombs planted, number of players revived and number of clues delivered. These leaderboards can be tracked in multiple time ranges, too: today, this week, this month, this year and lifetime (since this update!)

Next up, we did a major overhaul to abilities. Many of you asked us for a way to re-arrange your abilities, and we heard you! We have added an entirely new loadout section when you join a game, where you can re-arrange your abilities however you like (except the first ability for Innocents and Traitors, it's still locked to your class ability.) But that's not all! We have also added a lot of brand new abilities, suited for different playstyles: whether you wanna make a lot of noise as a Traitor, or blend with the crowd, we have covered you!

But even that's not all, either! We are also introducing a brand new Gadget system. With many of the abilities we've added, we realized that you can very clearly divide all abilities into two categories: something physical (such as the Bomb as Traitor) and something abstract, like a skill that you can learn (such as Doctor Resuscitate, because we imagine it as CPR.) So with the new Gadget system, we have divided the abilities into those two categories. Abilities are now things that you can do however many times you want (minus the cooldown) and that don't depend on any external device, basically like your skills. Gadgets on the other hand, are tools with limited quantity, that can be used whenever you want and however many times you want with no cooldown. There's many to choose from, so we hope you enjoy them!

One more thing we have added with the new loadout system melee selection. You can now select between either a Bat or a brand new Stiletto for your loadout.

We have took our time (quite a lot of it actually) making characters feel a tiny bit more alive. We have added facial flexes to all our characters with the help of a 3D modeller RIVEN_LLOYD, meaning players' lips sync to the lines they say and they can express various emotions (which is not in-game yet, sadly, but they could do it if we wanted to!) and with the recent-ish addition of Treason mounting support to Garry's Mod , this is a very welcome addition for many of you poster-movie-makers out there (including for SFM, too!)

We have added a way for you to spend time while you are bored after dying. A new Spectator Ghost match! When you are spectating, press your ability 1 key to enter a Spectator Ghost mode, where you can throw hats at other Spectator Ghosts, score hits and earn a new achievement! The best Spectator Ghost receives a praise in server chat when the round ends.

We've made some major changes to how Karma works. Previously, it worked exactly the same as score: despite it's name, it did not actually show how good of a player you were, you would get points for just doing random things, exactly the same as score, except capped in the range of 30 to 100. We have changed that to try to represent actually good actions from players. In detail, we:

• removed any Karma points for winning a round
• added Karma penalty for damaing confirmed teammates (when you shoot a Traitor as a Traitor, for example)
• added separate Karma penalty for killing confirmed and unconfirmed teammates (so you would get less Karma punishment for killing an Innocent as Innocent without knowing their role, than if you killed a Traitor as Traitor)
• added Karma for killing confirmed enemies as Innocents (so you would get Karma for killing a revealed Traitor or a Zombie Traitor as Innocent)
• added Karma for damaging confirmed enemies as Innocent
• added Karma for healing players as Doctor
• added Karma for resuscitating players
• added Karma for scanning Gadgets as Detective
• added Karma for revealing roles of dead people
• added Karma for turning on the Power Supply
• added Karma for defusing a bomb.

For the final time this year, welcome back to the new update! We've got something special for you this time...

The biggest addition of this update is introduction of friend lobbies! You can now play with your friends without occupying a public server with just one press of a button, powered by P2P networking from CoaXioN Coplay. This was a highly requested feature and we hope it will encourage players to play more and keep the community friendly.

Of course, Christmas is coming and we want players to feel that way in Treason too! So we've updated the main menu to feature snow and a nice Christmas-themed soundtrack, as well as updating Villa to reflect this change, too.

We're back with another update! This time, we've got quite some interesting stuff for you to look at. Please share your feedback with us!

Some of you might've already noticed it on our Steam Store page, but we added Steam Achievements! With that, we've also added some new Steam Stats for them! Playing Treason now has more reward than ever.


We've added a C.P.U. Power Supply. Traitors are now able to turn it off to shut down the C.P.U. and all electric lights around the map. You can use it to stop clues from being processed altogether.


One more big thing to talk about is our addition of the Zombie Don! Whenever there's only one innocent left, an event triggers that says there's only one innocent left. Now, with that event you will see a special syringe spawn somewhere on the map, that only the Innocent would be able to locate and pick up. After doing so, they can walk up to the Don's body and revive it by pressing their use button. The Zombie Don will be played by the first killed Innocent that round and will have t_zombie_don_health health (default: 150) with no Heal ability.

Thanks for being a part of our little Treason community!

Best wishes,
Klaus Veen

Celebrate the Christmess season in Treason.

Veterans and newcomers alike come together for a festive night of deception. Whether you're an innocent trying to sniff out the traitors, a traitor trying to take down the innocents, the detective trying to solve the case or the doctor arriving to late to ressuscitate?

Join Treason tonight, there is something for everyone. And the best part? It's free!

It warms my heart to see how far we've come and I want to thank all of you that's sticking with us, we had alot of fun this year. Up to the next one!

The Don sends his rega... *murdered*

Happy Holidays,
Klaus

We are back with the last update for this year! Please share your feedback with us!

First thing we introduced is Steam Rich Presence. Now whenever you see your friend playing Treason, you'll see what map they are playing and how many players they have on their server while also being able to join them by clicking RMB on them in friends' list and then "Join Game", as long as they are not playing on a LAN server.


Next big thing we added is a server creation UI. Initially we wanted to make a fully working lobby system with players being able to create their own lobbies with their own settings, but unfortunately it turned out to be impossible in our current situation so we decided to at least bring a common Source server creation UI to the game, although with a prettier layout, which functions almost the same to the lobby system, except you will still have to deal with port forwarding or using virtual LAN software.


And the last of our big changes is a change to pre-death state. Whenever you get killed with a live Doctor on the server, you enter a pre-death state with a brain icon that will slowly drain until you are rotten and can no longer be resuscitated by the Doctor, but it looked really wonky. So we made it look prettier by showing the player when they are being revived, by linking the view to your actual body and by making sure that you cannot die when you are being revived, so that last second Doctor arrival can still save you. We've also made it so that calling for help brings you slightly closer to death by t_pre_death_use_penalty seconds (default: 2), so that you cannot spam the help sound infinitely or you could skip pre-death state quickly if you want.

We're back! This update certainly didn't take as long to cook as the last one, but it doesn't mean that it's a small one, either! Please share your feedback with us!

For starters, we updated the leveling system we introduced in the last update to ensure that it takes longer to obtain new levels. Each new rank now requires slightly more score per level, as opposed to having the same number of score per level across all ranks, and we increased the total number of levels from 30 to 50.

Switching to gameplay itself, we've added a new ability: Adrenaline. During Annihilation or when playing as Doctors, players will receive this ability that they can use to increase their movement speed by t_adrenaline_speed_multiplier times (default: 1.25) for t_adrenaline_duration seconds (default: 5) with a cooldown of t_adrenaline_cooldown seconds (default: 15).

And last of our big additions is Steam Chat Filtering. We've noticed an increased amount of offensive messages in-game, so to combat this, now you can enable Steam Chat Filtering in your Steam Client settings (Steam -> Settings -> Friends & Chat -> Manage Chat Filtering) and hide potentially offensive words or sentences based on your preferences.
