Patch #5
Our focus today was bug fixing and crash fixing so Thank you to everyone who emailed in, posted, or reported crashes.
Sadly a good number of crash reports proved to be rendering driver crashes. We were able to fix every crash sent to us of the crashes which occured in our game's code. Crashes which occured in drivers or rendering code sadly we can at best provide workarounds for. If you are experiecing a crash which Patch #5 has not fixed for you, please try the DX11 workaround detailed here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/2489330/discussions/2/662718826094434188/
Of course please do continue reporting crashes and sending us crashdumps! And if you've not already reviewed Whiskerwood please consider doing so :)
