We wanted to drop one more hotfix with important updates, new torch items, as well as additional performance and visual improvements to make sure all of you have a great time with the game this weekend! We also fixed the rings!
Not to beat a dead Echo Knight Horse but please continue sharing issues or feedback you have with us!
