Hey Everyone!
I'm launching the update a little early this week. This update is primarily focused on improving controls and making Arakion more accessible to new players. I'm hoping to have Early Access 02 out by mid-June. I wasn't able to get a ton done in this update because of the comp frying.
This update has been pushed to both the Beta and Default branch. If you have issues with this update, you can access the previous branch by selecting the [stable] branch in your download settings.

Version Early Access 01B | May 21st 2018
Please note this version updates Arakion to Unity 2018 - unexpected issues may arise! Keep calm and carry on, they will be fixed quickly.
Updated Builds: Windows & Linux (Will update Mac next week, there is a weird issue)
Please note I found this from elsewhere for Linux users. I would recommend forcing windowed mode if you're crashing on startup.
There is still a problem in Unity with detecting the list of available resolutions in some versions of Linux X64. To fix an error «Receiving unhandled exception in funlockfile», please, run the game in windowed mode, there is no full-screen solution for now, it is up to Unity.

Bug Fixes
- CRITICAL: The games turn ticker would stop working when a mob was hit by a trap
- CRITICAL: Unity was updated to 2018 to address Linux crashes. Please let me know if you are still crashing on Linux and I can try a few more things.
- Due to the 2018 update and substance overhaul, lag spikes experienced from substances taking forever to load should be gone (such as when the party dropped from a high place and all 3 were hurt at once.
- Audio settings will now save properly
- Second monument near the first camp wasn't activating properly.
- Players should no longer fall through the world randomly when entering randomized dungeon.
- Traits that gave regen would sometimes show ammo regen instead.
- Sometimes the portals wouldn't show up if you spam looked at them with the camera.
- Monument near camp should now properly activate
