Howdy y'all!

It's third hotfix time!

This patch is mostly focused on the save corruption issues & crashes, this took most of our time and thus this patch is quite small :(

You can expect a patch with lotta bugfixing, balance improvements and some (good) system changes during the next week!

STABILITY---

IMPROVED SAVING SYSTEM

Made lots of improvements on the saving system to try and prevent save corruptions

The game should no longer save if the progress somehow became corrupted

The game will no longer try to save while doing important operations that could crash the game, leading to a corrupted save

Auto backups are no longer stored on Steam Cloud, so you can’t lose them anymore if you use Family Sharing on Steam

User settings are no longer stored on Steam cloud, which mean you can now have custom user settings for Steam Deck and different user settings on PC/other computers

Fixed a shader crash that could happen on Far Far North

BALANCE---

JOKERS

Weaklink: buffed from max. 1 to max. 2

Run and Gun: buffed from Prime (3) to Rare (2)

QUALITY OF LIFE----

The Gamba Machine now displays the odds

KNOWN ISSUES----

Fatal Errors happening after multiple hours of playing the game

Fatal Errors on launch

Possible memory leak issues when playing for several hours

ROG Ally UI not working properly

Many more little bugs that will be fixed as soon as possible! Keep reporting issues if it’s not fixed in the new update!

Deadeye: this is not a bug, but due to many feedbacks we will be adjusting it so it’s not as oppressive

If you have Fatal Errors or are unable to launch the game, please take a look at this list of solutions.

If this list doesn’t help you, join our Discord, ask for help in #support-help and we'll get back to you asap :)

Until next time!
