Hello, community,
We're in the final stages of putting Patch 1.05 together. That patch, apart from fixing various bugs, will resolve the save loader issue that caused items to disappear from the game world. As our team is preparing to roll the patch out, we need to test the new save system in a closed environment to ensure the update's stability. This requires checking a wide variety of different save files.
If you have some spare time and would like to assist our team with testing Patch 1.05 (and potentially help us speed up the release), we would greatly appreciate it! To sign up for participation, fill in this form:
Testing the patch will be done on our Discord server. We will manually pick participants and give them access to hidden channels with testing instructions.
Reworking the save loader has taken quite a bit of time, but it is important not to rush it and break existing saves. Once the issue with missing items and loading is fully resolved, we’ll be able to release future patches much faster.
As we've already mentioned above, although Patch 1.05 primarily addresses the save loader system issue, it also includes numerous bug fixes and gameplay enhancements. Below is the complete list (so far) of improvements that will be included in 1.05.
