Multiplayer Layout Settings
Updates · Bongo Cat
The Multiplayer Layout Settings update (August 10, 2026) gave lobby hosts powerful new tools to arrange everyone's cats automatically, alongside quality-of-life tweaks and bug fixes.
Changes
- Added multiplayer layout settings via the Multiplayer tab's Spawn Settings button: 8 automatic alignment patterns, each with a starting anchor.
- Individual cat slots can be disabled to keep screen regions free; all cats can be rotated at once; two cats can be swapped by dragging one onto the other; Snap Cats pulls cats into pattern-defined slots; the Recalculate button re-evaluates the layout instantly without moving manually placed cats.
- Pressing F6 in a lobby shows a preview of all current slots, with extra pattern-specific settings.
- Quality of life: open and close the inventory with Esc, M, or the middle mouse button while hovering over the cat; patting can be turned off; shorter white flash on startup.
- Bug fixes: inventory sometimes not refreshing, randomly resetting emote wheel, gifting blocked by the Multiplayer Popup setting, BongoDex hiding owned items from fully hidden collections, holding Enter spamming chat, and stuck tooltips.
