Hey Sleepers.
This hotfix requires a client-side download. Remember to restart your Steam client if the download does not appear automatically for you. Servers will be coming back up shortly.
For the list of known issues, please visit our Discord server or Steam discussion boards.
FEATURES AND CHANGES
A new set of decorations is now available to players who log in between September 17 and October 22. This set of 6 pieces includes a banner, two chairs, two tables, and a carpet.
Updated game thumbnail.
Added the option to launch the game without the BattlEye anti-cheat software installed or enabled for the single-player mode, or private and self-hosted servers that do not require it.BattleEye is still required to play on multiplayer servers with BattleEye enabled. Trying to join a multiplayer server from a client without BattleEye will result in an error.This change requires an update to the launch options on Steam, which is not yet being replicated correctly for all clients. This is causing BattlEye errors for some players trying to access multiplayer. To avoid further disruption, we have disabled this change for now. We will deploy the change again as soon as possible without causing further disruption.
Added a new UserServerCustomSettings.ini file for self-hosted servers, which can be found in the steamcmd download folder. This file can be applied to your UserSettings folder to activate the newly added custom settings.
