Chained Together Update v1.8.4-TENOKE: What’s New, Fixed, and Broken in the Latest Ascent
The masochistic co-op climbing phenomenon, Chained Together, has received its latest iteration. While developer Anegar Games has been quietly rolling out quality-of-life fixes and content adjustments, the release of Chained Together Update v1.8.4-TENOKE has surfaced, specifically via the TENOKE release group. For players wondering what this patch actually does—whether you are playing a legitimate Steam copy or sailing the high seas—here is the long-form breakdown of the update, the mechanics, and the looming question: Is this the definitive version?
2. How to update legitimately
- Steam: The update should download automatically. If not, verify game files:
Right-click Chained Together → Properties → Installed Files → Verify integrity of game files.
1. Network Optimization (The Rubberband Fix)
The most significant change in v1.8.4 addresses network synchronization. In previous versions, players with high ping would experience "rubberbanding"—where the chain would snap back, dragging everyone off a ledge. The new network code reduces lag compensation errors. Host migration has also been slightly improved, meaning if the host disconnects, the session is less likely to hard-crash. Chained Together Update v1 8 4-TENOKE

Known Issues in v1.8.4
Despite the improvements, no update is perfect. Users have reported the following lingering bugs: Steam : The update should download automatically
- The Ghost Chain: Occasionally, after a reset, a visual phantom chain remains attached to a dead player’s respawn point.
- Audio Loop: The falling scream sound effect may loop indefinitely if a player dies while the host is loading the next zone. A game restart fixes this.
- TENOKE Specific: Some users applying the crack have reported that Steam Overlay (if injected) causes the camera to lock in place. Disable the overlay for this title.
