Hacknet FNA Update & Discount
After months of retooling Hacknet to launch on Mac and Linux, last week Matt released an update that moved the PC version of the game onto a unified branch using FNA framework. Many of you would not have noticed a difference, but having the unified version means that fixes and updates can be rolled out across all platforms, and as an added bonus, a number of the issues people were experiencing should be fixed.
Now that the framework is unified, we wanted to share a few resources for those of you still having some weird issues. First of all you can view the Crash Fixes, Workarounds and Common Problem Solutions thread. If the answers that you seek do not appear there, head on over to the Bug Reports v2 thread to find out how you can report a new issue specific to your machine.
Also, you would have noticed that Hacknet was featured in a Steam Daily Deal yesterday for a 33% discount. We're also celebrating Australia day across a number of our titles, so we're continuing the Hacknet discount for another 24 hours! We also have a number of other Surprise Attack Games on sale:
