Graphical options are now saved everytime the player exits the options. It does not solve all problems related to loading graphical options, but it's a beginning.
Debug posters that could be null in cabin. There already was a security for this so it didn't broke anything, but now there shouldn't be any more null poster in the game.
Added even more debug messages to help find bugs in the future.

Bug fixes :

Massive FPS improvements (Special thanks to nor7hy5)
The researches "Positive thinking" 1 & 2 don't require the object "salad oil" anymore, which you can not find in any container (thanks again nor7hy5)
Removed a bug where temperature was not calculated correctly if you had an advanced research "Cooler Potency"
Removed a bug where the event "Data corruption" could indeed corrupt a save file by removing process from an already finished research. An event name has never been so real! ((thanks to...you guessed it...nor7hy5)
Multiple "stuck zones" have been modified to avoid player being stuck. Most of them were found by nor7hy5
The roof of R59-Communication Room has been remade in order to avoid a graphic glitch.
The restart can now be returned from by using the cancel (espace) key without bugging the interface.

Improvements :

The temperature console has been improved. There are a lot of informations you can gather by understanding what is displayed on the upper console.
The pressure console has been improved too! Hint : for humans, 1013 hPa is the perfect atmosphere pressure.
The saves files format has changed from ".hull" to ".die". The switch will be completely invisible for players.
Bug fixes :

Reactivated the main menu "UI activate" sounds which were missing.
Fixed some interface buttons had wrong text color when switching from menu to menu in some panels.

Following the difficulty update, now we offer you a new ending.
Improvements :

The endgame "crash" is now fully functional.
2 new leaderboards (1 hardcore and 1 easy) for the crash ending. These leaderboards are in reverse order of time of survival, meaning the longer you take to crash the lower your rank will be. It will also automatically submit to the "regular" leaderboard just in case.
"Development build" is now off on LINUX version (and hopefully it's stable).
Additions :

Added an informative message when a player dies because health reach zero. The new message displayed on the death screen now reveals the probable cause(s) of the death.
Bug Fixes :

The Save/Load system shoud no longer hang indefinetly, preventing the player to make another save and/or crashing at load.
To eternity and beyond! Or not.

Windows demo (free!) is now completely up-to-date (you still can't save or submit any score since it's the only "DRM"). Obviously, the Linux/SteamOS demo is also up-to-date.
You can now DIE on every platform available on Steam.
This is still an "open beta" state for Linux/SteamOS because we lack of testers.
If you can, please report any trouble on the dedicated forum by clicking THIS LINK, thank you!
Mac is now the only platform not completely up-to-date but it's only a matter of time.

Bug Fixes :

The Filter Mask could interact weirdly with breaches and make the player breath out acrycine, making the room full of it in a few seconds. This is obviously no longer the case.
The loading panel now displays the correct integrity for each profile (it was displaying the lowest for every profile).
When sprinting, you should no longer be able to reset the timer of the overweight wounds that can randomly apply.
There was a default in the loading system making the player loose a few frames of action every time a game was loaded. This is no longer the case.
This update is still not available for demo and for mac users.

Patch note v1.1. Have a good summer in the cold of space!
Additions :

New "easy" mode. In fact, this mode is now considered normal whereas the "old" saves and profiles are now displayed as "hardcore". This new mode has a separate leaderboard. This mode has a lot of small changes to make your survival easier, but the main one is the addition of the brand new "Dynamic maps system" (Copyright SecSystem)
New "Dynamic maps system"! You can now see all discovered rooms being displayed on the maps placed on the walls of the different floors. So you no longer have any excuse to not remember where this damn Repair Room is!
New leaderboard to make the distinction between the hardcore and "easy" mode.
Improvements :

NVidia users now have a small optimization for displaying massive fires FX.
The display of acrycine clouds is now capped so this should also relieve the graphics card a little.
The texture of the heat effect is now 4 times bigger, and against all odds it's also easier for the graphic cards to loop it.
Bug Fixes :

Wounds and diseases who are not supposed to be able to evolve 2 stages in a single night are now strictly forbidden to do so (yes it was possible, if you had a very bad luck, to have a chain reaction between diseases making them crippling/deadly in a very short time).
The loading of objects in rooms has been made so that now, when you load a saved game, it is impossible to restore a consumed object.
Interface in the loading panel should no longer turn pink when a load error occured.
All saves are now scanned when loading the loading panel, so a corrupted save can no longer slip through the cracks.
The voices can no longer slow down during the fade-in of the night.
Clean and refactor a lot of code. Also removed some old useless relics. May or may not improve the performances, but cannot hurt.

Patch note v1.01a
Additions :

Some new voices. Many more to come!
Improvements :

Improved FX scripts (should be a lot more efficient)
Bug Fixes :

Death statistics should now display the correct values (some players saw 0 broken objects, fire and breaches whatever the reality was).
Fixed the issue misplacing the player (under the ground) on the first launch of the game (very hard to reproduce, but now seems to have dissapeared)
The load panel could crash and never load anymore correctly. This is now impossible, the load panel should always work as intended and be pretty.
Removed the redirection to website when clicking on the version number in the main menu. It will be restored as soon as the website is online again.
Fixed description of research SimiliMetal (R28) : it said "plastic" instead of "metal".
Others :

Numerous improvements in tools needed for development, mostly by updating to the new Unity version (no change in game except maybe some minor CPU optimizations)
Successfully finished to "branch out" the VR version, so it's now synchronized with the "Standalone branch" and vice-versa. Meaning I can work on either version, the changes made will be available for both (unless I decide not to).
No, it's not the VR version that is released today. The version released today contains (among other things) all the improvements uneeded for VR version but that was made anyway on it. The VR version is still alive in our dreams, and so it will obviously become real one day!
Also, big sorry to the mac users, but they will have to wait a little more before this update is available on macOs.
Happy new year, happy hollidays and happy drifting!
Demo available on Steam.

The "crashing" bug has been corrected. Unfortunately, it also made the "Development Build" text reappear in the bottom right of the screen. We are working hard to completely resolve the problem, but at least you can repair things without the fear of crashing now.
Found a little glitch in the particle fx of the hologram planets. It should now work as intended even when it's playing for a very long time.
