A small hotfix to yesterday’s update to fix a partial loading issue with one of the levels. All other levels have been checked and there are no outstanding known issues with anything else that I’m aware of.

ES3.1 Tree Models
I've also started work on some new tree models for low settings and ES3.1 rendering mode, the spring blossoms for ES3.1 are in this update as they were done at the time of me discovering this level load issue but the rest will come in next weeks update as they get completed.
Demo file changes
As mentioned in the previous update the demo now uses shared depots of the release game directly, keeping it in sync with the purchased game and allowing features like multiplayer between the two. It also means when upgrading to a purchased copy of the game no new files will need to be downloaded.
If you have any issues relating to a prior installation of the demo or are not receiving the latest update as a result of these depot changes on the steam backend then you will need to uninstall the demo and then install it again. It will do a fresh 800 MB download and I apologise for any inconvience. However it will be a one time thing and be in sync going forwards with the full game.

Patch Notes
General
- Fixed a loading issue with Rock Bottom.
Environment
- Added some new tree models for ES3.1 to better help with performance. The specific change vs the ones previous are when in this low end render mode an older method of masked planes are used for the blossoms rather than mesh. Other seasonal tree versions will get updated in the next update.
