MECCHA CHAMELEON v1.1.0 update quick answer
The MECCHA CHAMELEON v1.1.0 update is a June 11, 2026 patch focused on multiplayer reliability, readability, communication, and comfort. It adds proximity voice chat, fixes several server and lobby problems, increases Hunter FOV from 90 to 100, brightens shadows across stages, and makes custom-map lighting behave differently.
For players, the short version is simple: Hiders should stop trusting launch-day dark corners too much, Hunters can scan with a wider view, friend groups should update to the same version before matchmaking, and hosts using custom maps should re-check lighting after the default skylight change.
Player takeaway: v1.1.0 is not just a bug-fix patch. It changes how MECCHA CHAMELEON feels in lobbies, how Seekers scan rooms, and how Hiders judge shadows.

Proximity voice chat changes friend lobbies
The headline feature in this MECCHA CHAMELEON v1.1.0 update is proximity voice chat. The patch note confirms the feature was added, but it does not specify range, toggle behavior, team-only behavior, push-to-talk behavior, or exact audio falloff. Because those details are not published in the patch note, this page does not invent them.
From a player perspective, proximity voice chat makes MECCHA CHAMELEON more social and more dangerous. Hiders should avoid giving away their hiding area with careless speech, and Hunters should pay attention to nearby audio cues. Friend groups may still prefer external voice for party chat, but built-in proximity voice creates a more game-native deception layer.
Hider voice habits
Stay quiet near Hunters, avoid laughing when a Seeker walks past, and remember that sound can be as revealing as a white paint patch.
Hunter voice habits
Move slowly through suspicious spaces and listen for nearby reactions. Do not assume every clue is visual after v1.1.0.
What v1.1.0 changes for Hiders
The biggest Hider-facing change is brighter shadows across stages. That global visibility update affects every map page, especially spots that launch-week videos or guides described as safe because they were dark. A spot can still be strong after v1.1.0, but it should be strong because the paint, pose, and surface choice are convincing, not because the area is nearly invisible.
For maps such as Sewer, Backrooms, and Hide-and-Seek Mansion, the change means old shadow-based advice should be labeled as pre-v1.1.0 or tested again. Hiders should use the paint system guide to sample the exact current surface instead of painting pure black or guessing from memory.
Do not reuse a launch-week dark paint recipe. The stage may now read brighter than older footage.
Use pattern and brush size to mimic tile, wood, graffiti, shelves, or wall art instead of relying on darkness.
Shape errors are more visible when shadows are brighter. Connect this page with the pose guide.
Hunter FOV 90 to 100 and Seeker scanning
The v1.1.0 update increased Hunter FOV from 90 to 100. The official note gives motion sickness prevention as the reason, so this page should not oversell it as an intentional balance buff. Still, a wider field of view can change practical scanning. Hunters can cover a slightly broader horizontal arc, catch more peripheral mistakes, and turn less sharply while moving through crowded rooms.
For Seeker play, pair the wider FOV with the Seeker guide. Scan walls, ceilings, corners, and object tops. After v1.1.0, brighter shadows also reduce the advantage of corner darkness, so Hiders with weak paint may stand out faster.
| Before v1.1.0 | After v1.1.0 | Seeker habit |
|---|---|---|
| Hunter FOV 90 | Hunter FOV 100 | Use slower sweeps and peripheral checks. |
| Darker shadows | Brighter stage shadows | Re-check old shadow spots with fresh eyes. |
| No built-in proximity voice | Proximity voice exists | Listen as well as look. |
Server, lobby, and same-version fixes
Many launch-window frustrations were not about hiding at all. v1.1.0 addresses matchmaking and lobby clarity. It fixes a connection issue, removes in-progress games from public server search, fixes server player counts that displayed as 0, and makes the matching UI clearer.
The most important troubleshooting sentence is the same-version rule: matchmaking is only available when players are on the same game version. When a friend cannot join, restart MECCHA CHAMELEON, restart Steam if needed, and check whether everyone has the update. The full step-by-step troubleshooting page is the can’t connect fix guide.
Public servers
After v1.1.0, public search should stop showing rooms that already have matches in progress, which reduces wasted clicks for new players.
Friend lobbies
If players are on different versions, they may not matchmake together. Update first before changing router, VPN, or firewall settings.
Custom maps and the default skylight change
The v1.1.0 update disables the default skylight when using custom maps. That sounds small, but in MECCHA CHAMELEON lighting is gameplay. A custom map that looked balanced under one lighting setup may become darker, flatter, or more readable after this change, depending on how its creator built the stage.
Map creators and Workshop players should test Hider visibility again after loading a custom map. This is especially important because v1.2.0 later improves mod integration, and the Workshop page can act as the hub for custom-map questions. Keep claims modest: v1.1.0 confirms the skylight behavior, not a full creator tool workflow.
Older MECCHA CHAMELEON advice that may be outdated
Because MECCHA CHAMELEON received several updates within days of release, pages based only on launch-day footage can age quickly. Use this section to update internal pages and avoid sending readers to stale advice.
| Old advice | Why it changed | Better current note |
|---|---|---|
| Hide in the darkest corner you can find. | v1.1.0 brightened shadows across stages. | Use accurate paint and pose first; treat darkness as a bonus. |
| Ignore voice if using external chat. | Proximity voice chat was added. | Warn Hiders that local voice can expose them. |
| Join any public server in the list. | Public search now filters in-progress games. | Refresh, then join visible public rooms that are not in progress. |
| Player count says 0, so the lobby is empty. | Server count display bug was fixed. | Trust the current server count more than launch footage. |
| Reset camera sensitivity every launch. | Settings reset bug was fixed. | Only troubleshoot if your local config still behaves incorrectly. |

Did Hunter FOV change in v1.1.0?

Did v1.1.0 make dark hiding spots worse?
The update brightened shadows across stages, so hiding advice that relied on very dark corners should be re-tested. It does not mean every shadow spot is bad, but color and pose accuracy matter more.
Why can I not join a friend after v1.1.0?
The update states that matchmaking is only available between players on the same version. Restart the game or Steam so everyone updates before joining the same lobby.

Yes. Public server search no longer displays games already in progress, and the server player count bug that showed 0 players was fixed.
What changed for custom maps in v1.1.0?
The default skylight is now disabled when using custom maps. This matters for map creators because lighting can affect how easy Hiders are to see.
