Space Week

This might actually be more like a traditional update? We turned on Space Week but didn't make a custom event--time was spent towards the larger goal of getting the Wastelands missions working here. But all is not lost--we've also kept the Oktoberfest barrels around as a bonus. We'll put our energy into getting the Halloween event ready...

AMD GPU Crash Fix

This one has been bugging us for a month. After a lot of help from our community providing info and helping test, we thing we finally have solid fixes in place. Lots of test cycles on that on our end, feeling pretty good this might have fixed it--but we'll see! We will be closely monitoring crash events for the next while.

Bug Priorities

In between builds we read the reports in the Discord bugs forum and also the ingame feedback. We know there's lots of bugs, so triage goes by "how many people are askinga about this" divided by "how difficult will it be to fix". We can't respond to everything, but we do see them and think about them. If it's not mentioned, it must not be that big of deal. But if someone has reported a bug already, and you also want it fixed--leave a comment in that thread! A thread with multiple people saying "me too" is a high candidate for some effort to fix it.
