Hotfix v1.0.1 has arrived for Mouse: P.I. For Hire, targeting several critical progression blockers that were leaving P.I. Jack Pepper stranded in the seedy corners of Mouseburg. This urgent patch specifically addresses black screen issues and logic errors that prevented players from advancing through key story beats.
The most significant fixes involve the "The Reel Deal" and "Mouseburg Opera" sequences. Previously, some players encountered collision issues or black screens that effectively ended their investigation prematurely. Logic errors in the Far Wetlands doors have also been scrubbed, ensuring that your hunt for the truth doesn't get derailed by a malfunctioning piece of geometry.
Combat and navigation have received a much-needed polish as well. Enemies in the Quagmire area should no longer find themselves snagged on the environment, making for much more fluid gunplay. Perhaps most importantly for your survival, a bug where shotgun-wielding enemies would occasionally fail to deal damage has been squashed—so don't expect any more free passes when staring down a barrel in the heat of a firefight.
For those playing on handhelds like the ROG Ally or via Xbox platforms, Fumi Games has restored the "Exit to Main Menu" and "Exit Game" prompts. It’s a small quality-of-life fix, but a vital one for anyone trying to navigate the game's 1930s-inspired menus without a traditional keyboard setup. If you're currently mid-case in Mouseburg, ensure your Steam Build ID is updated to 22814717 to keep the investigation running smoothly.
