Patch Notes 0.8.27

New Stuff

• RemovedRight-click context menuAnywhere in the game, you can now right-click selected text to Copy. Right-click on input fields to Paste. Disabled when there's nothing to copy/paste, and stays out of the way of Code++ / Notepad's own menus.
• AddedBordered window modeAdded preset resolutions and an "Auto" option in Settings → Screen.

• Settings sliders: Now show the current value live while dragging.

• Options menu: You can now go back with the mouse (previously keyboard-only — caused issues on Steam Deck and other devices).

• Terminal QoL: Clicking the terminal title bar now focuses the prompt.

Changes & Fixes

• Fixed a critical bug where [c]apt-get install [/c] would freeze the terminal, requiring a window close.

• Fixed wrong/misleading help texts and translations for several terminal commands.

• Fixed reversed objective order in the Helping Harvey quest (didn't block completion but was confusing).

• Fixed the bug that broke Ctrl+C copy after certain in-game interactions.

• Fixed Lynx searches continuing in the background after being canceled with Ctrl+C.

• Fixed downloaded files overlapping with existing icons on the desktop.

• Fixed the taskbar search box opening an empty page in the browser.

• Fixed WeeChat localization issues across all 30 languages.

• Fixed the Whois quest not completing even when the correct domain owner was sent in the mail reply.

• Fixed the Who Really? quest not completing despite entering the correct name.

• Fixed a bug when changing monitors in fullscreen mode.

• Fixed [c]apt-get install[/c] continuing the install process after Wi-Fi disconnects.

• Fixed missing application icons on the desktop in the macOS version.

• Fixed scroll behavior breaking on hackhub.net in some cases.

• Fixed TJS Part 2 Metasploit showing port 23 as closed even though it was open.

• Fixed Cryptographer Hunt objective not completing after finding the phone via Lynx → bitvista search.

• Fixed The Eppenstein Files "Find key figure" objective not completing in some cases — also normalized the "Eppenstein Foundation" name across all locales (translators were rendering it differently in each language, breaking searches for non-English players).

• Fixed WeeChat failing to connect in some cases.

• Fixed Wireshark not capturing data in some cases.

• Fixed Database Manager login failures during the Checkout Override quest.

• Fixed phishing mails not delivering payloads in some cases.

• Fixed TJS Part 2 softlock where Taylor would go silent (and the quest would be stuck) if you saved & reloaded mid-conversation about the Grand Hotel.

• Fixed Metasploit handler ([c]office_word_macro[/c] exploit) silently waiting forever — it now periodically hints how to trigger the connection (generate [c].docm[/c] payload, attach to phishing mail, send to target).

• Fixed corrupted/legacy save files that couldn't be deleted from the load menu.

• Fixed text selection in the terminal: dragging to select text in the output no longer steals focus to the input mid-drag.

• Improved window focus handling — the taskbar/window shadow no longer flickers when interacting with menus, popups, or moving between windows.

• Unnecessary spacing and incorrect placement bugs have been fixed in Fluent UI and Xanara themes.
