Embark has rolled out a hotfix removing the hidden “NewConsole” command that some players were using to gain unintended advantages.
This developer-only console option was never meant to be accessible and allowed things like:
-
Visual and FOV tweaks
-
Altering graphical settings beyond intended limits
-
In some cases, reconnecting after death
The exploit has now been fully removed, restoring fair play across lobbies.
