With this update we have more fixes and a big update to the modding aspect. Over the course of the week we’ve written a tutorial that should cover most aspects of the modding process. You can find the tutorial here:

Also, we released updated modding tools along with today’s update. We’d appreciate your feedback in regards to the tutorial and unclear parts of it. It is considered a work in progress.
One of the many mods already in the works, this one by dukeaccent.
We’ve started digging more into the seemingly random crashes players experience and found a potential cause and fix for it, but it requires some support from Epic to sort out, so a fix didn’t quite make it into this update. We’ll keep you posted.
