PATCH NOTES
General Fixes
- Profanity filter when creating a company has been disabled on PC.
We noted that the profanity filter was much too restrictive when creating a company name. Don’t use this as an excuse to create a company with an offensive name!
- Added a new popup when attempting to activate multiplayer when Privacy Policy was not accepted.
We've noticed that many players have concerns about data collection for multiplayer services. Please be assured that we do not collect any non-obfuscated personal player data and are in full compliance with GDPR and other personal data protection laws. If you choose not to share any technical data, we understand, but unfortunately, providing multiplayer functionality becomes technically impossible in that case.
