KOTAMON hotfix fixes mouse smoothing and missing bags

The latest KOTAMON hotfix arrived on August 22 with a requested option to disable mouse smoothing. Players can also change the field of view in the settings, giving the first-person garbage-collecting game more direct camera control.

KOTAMON hotfix: confirmed details

TALLBOYS fixed garbage bags disappearing near the trash crusher and corrected smaller card and text problems. Community contributors updated Czech, Polish, Portuguese and Italian localization. Nyanchi Crunchi cereal boxes, collectible figurines and cosplay cases now appear more often, while a late-game cereal purchase costs $10,000 in fictional currency.

What changes for players

The camera options address comfort rather than changing the collection economy, while the drop adjustments reduce the time needed for specific achievements. Fixing bags near the crusher is more fundamental because losing the object being processed breaks the central work loop. Localization credits also make the community contribution visible inside the game.

Release and platform context

KOTAMON is the shortened name for a deliberately long-titled Windows simulation about finding collectible cards in trash. The update applies through Steam. TALLBOYS describes the missing-bag fix with humor, but players should report any reproducible recurrence instead of reading the joke as uncertainty about whether the patch shipped.
