The Lost Island Update Notes 1.5_8 Preview Version
[Intro]
First of all thanks for waiting so long for this update. It was a big step forward to invest a little more time.
You may ask why ?
We had to make the game completely new from scratch. Things got better. But we have a lot bugs. But the good part about that is that we finished the main part of the game and future updates won't take so long until they get released. That means until we release 1.5 as full version there will be many updates. So if you don't want to update automatically always 2 -4 GB you should turn off automatic updates for this game.

[FAQ]:
We want trading cards!
Yeah yeah... We know. We are on it. We had so much work todo that it was nearly impossible to work on it. But we submitted them to steam and we still have to make some changes to the trading cards until valve accepts them.
Achievements what's wrong with them?
At the moment only a few are build inside and we are not sure if they work properly in the new version of The Lost Island.
Why Preview Version of Update 1.5?
It's easy. We don't want to let you wait anymore and show the progress of The Lost Island :)
Don't hate us if something doesn't work on your PC right.
We know some people writing to us we are doing scam and stuff like that because the quality of the game doesn't look like as on our hardware or isn't running so good as by us. We did a lot in the update to let customer see more detail in levels.
All in all this is a preview let us know about bugs or massive problems.
[Known Bugs]:
Connection to Master Server sometimes fails.
Long Loading Times.
Not moving AI (sometimes).
Massive Lag on spawn. ( Gets away after a minute. Maybe it's longer if you have a toaster as PC. )
Cursor Bug : Can be fixed by pressing ALT and Left Mouse Button in the window.
On non Multiplayer Sessions the Authority has some bugs with the Inventory. ( Not hardcore bugs. Will still work normally )
Item Spawns ( Some locations doesn't have loot for some reason ) (sometimes)
Weird Footstep Sound Bug in Multiplayer. ( Possible due lags. Sounds getting spawned on server)
