I've released a new patch in the public beta branch. This one is just fixing a bunch of bugs in online co-op, in particular some longstanding causes of "out of sync" errors while in combat. Here's the changelist:
- Fixes for some sound bugs in online co-op
- Fix for hang if you press escape on the character creation screen when joining a co-op game
- Fix for arrows sometimes being invisible in online co-op
- Fix for dead or zombie characters appearing in character selector bar
- Out of Sync fixes
I'll let this sit for a few days then hopefully I'll be able to push all the new stuff to the main branch, finally.
What's this publicbeta thing?
v101 will be in the "publicbeta" branch for a while, before pushing it to the main game. If you want to try the latest features as they come out (and help test them!) it's a good idea to start using this branch. But keep in mind:
- Because it's the bleeding edge it could be less stable
- If you want to be able to play online co-op with someone you'll need to be on the same version as them
- If you go back from the "publicbeta" branch to the main branch you may not be able to load savegames created on "publicbeta".
To use publicbeta, just right-click on Survivalist: Invisible Strain in your Steam library and go to Properties, then Betas and in the drop-down select "publicbeta".
