A new beta build 0.25.b1 is now live! You can switch to the beta build in the Sailwind settings on Steam (right click Sailwind -> Properties -> Betas).
The main new feature is a big change to the player embarking/disembarking and swimming systems, with the aim to fix all the bugs related to falling out of boats randomly, glitching through docks when embarking or disembarking, falling to the bottom of the ocean suddenly, etc. All these issues should now be gone, and entering/exiting boats should now feel much smoother in general.
Of course this also means a high possibility of various new bugs, so I would like to test this new system in the beta channel to make sure everything works fine. Please report any cases of glitching through boats/docks/water, and as usual, expect and be ready gamebreaking bugs (back up your saves!).
Some other minor changes:
- holding the jump key while swimming will now move you up towards the surface, while holding the crouch key will do the opposite
- added the run/walk toggle keybinding setting
- slightly adjusted the amount of air control
- fixed the candle crate collision
The best place to share your feedback is on the Sailwind Community Discord in the beta channels, or in the comments section of this post. Thank you!
