Capote patch notes

This page is the canonical record of every Capote patch note published through official channels. Each entry lists the version number, the release date, and the verified changes. Older entries will be expanded as the wiki grows.

Version 1.0 (August 20, 2026)

Capote left Early Access. Headline 1.0 features:

• Truco live in 1v1, 2v2, and 3v3 with emote signals and regional rule variants. Walkthrough: How to play Truco.
• Beach bar as a permanent venue, plus lobby pool / sinuca and an in-game YouTube player. Venue guide: The Bar.
• Community review challenge for a free beach skin pack if Steam hits 1,000 user reviews by September 3, 2026. Not a promo code — see Codes.
• Early Access content kept: Classic Capote, Betejack, custom rules, voice lip sync, Dona Lourdes and other EA characters.

Full write-up: Version 1.0 launch notes.

Patch Notes v0.9.1-21 (January 24, 2026)

Late Early Access performance pass:

• Character and environment optimization
• VSync option
• FPS limit option

Luski hoped the lighter load would also reduce warped faces, characters leaving the table, and flying cards. Details belong on System Requirements.

King of the Bar (December 2025)

The first major post-launch update. Headline changes:

• Custom rules in Classic Capote. Match settings now expose hand size, shot penalty, capotado threshold, special card pool, and bot difficulty.
• Voice chat fixes. Voice chat volume mixer now works; voice HUD icon shows who is speaking.
• Lip sync first pass. Mouth movement tracks voice chat for every character.
• Final-round warning. UI now flashes a warning when the table is one round from ending.
• Last bet readability. Larger bet display and color-coded under/over status.

This update is what makes the Betting Strategy guide reliable. Before the King of the Bar patch, betting UI was inconsistent.

Early Access launch (October 23, 2025)

• Capote ships on Steam Early Access. Windows and Linux, $5.99, English + Brazilian Portuguese + Spanish + Russian + Simplified Chinese.
• Three modes at launch. Classic Capote, Betejack single-player, and the upcoming Truco mode placeholder.
• Six playable characters. The host, the trash-talker, the observer, the wildcard, the newcomer, and the regular.
• Eleven special cards. Force High, Reverse Order, Shuffle the Deck, Steal a Trick, Pass the Buck, Mirror Match, Show Your Hand, Double or Nothing, Reveal and Steal, Skip Turn, and Final Trick Swap.
• 51 Steam achievements. Including Hot Streak, Perfect Match, Old Guard, You bet I’m Bete, and Full Bar.

Version 1.0 shipped (August 20, 2026)

The full launch is live. It included:

• Truco mode in 1v1, 2v2, and 3v3 with regional variants (complete public toggle list still lives in the client)
• Beach bar, lobby pool, YouTube music player
• Characters added during Early Access, including Dona Lourdes

Price at launch remained $5.99. Wishlisting still surfaces discounts first.

Patch sensitivity
