Update
This revision brings some much needed fixes. We’ve solved two desyncs and a few crashes. We greatly appreciate all the players who have submitted crash reports and helped with testing. The game will now produce a set of files when you desync and opens a window to them. Please open the link starting with ‘Urgent’ to send the files to us, so we can debug any remaining desyncs.
We’ve heard your requests for new weapons. Thanks for the feedback.
