YOUR SETTINGS WILL BE RESET, SORRY!
(this was needed to prevent settings from being synced during steam cloud saves)
Hey folks, this patch brings a lot of changes/fixes but the main thing is that the demo is now on the same version of the game as the release build, meaning that it should have all the bug fixes and performance improvements I've made since the last update to the demo.
You will also notice some content is rearranged or no longer accessible within the demo- the demo originally had access to a number of flare duels, for instance, that are normally not accessible until further in the game's progression. I'm still thinking about trying to find ways to make this accessible within the demo again but for now there were just some important bug fixes in the main version that the demo needed, so I prioritized that.
This list of patch notes is not even close to comprehensive since it brings the game forward by many versions but it at least includes some of the changes. I'm looking forward to seeing what you all think of the full game on Monday!
