Howdy fellow gunslingers and happy new year!
And a warm welcome to all the new players who joined us in this new year, of which there are plenty. It's great to see so many of you enjoying the game so long after the initial release. The game has changed a lot since 2020 and it's much appreciated that you recognize this and are still excited for it. Of course even now years after release I am still listening to all your feedback and reading the now (as of writing this only close to, but when you are reading this hopefully over) 1000 official Steam reviews. Big thanks for that! It's not easy to sit at a very positive review score with this many reviews from all over the world and from all kinds of players.
Today I got another patch for you, addressing a lot of the issues that I've read about in the last weeks. If you were waiting for one of these fixes I hope you can now enjoy the game a bit more. Let me know by updating your steam review or directly via discord.
This patch contains mostly bug fixes, balancing changes and minor improvements. For example breaking containers should be less tedious. And the camera should feel smoother. And you will no longer get stuck in bugged ambushes. Yay!
Your existing save games should also work just fine with this update, so you can continue your in-progress run and enjoy the improvements without having to restart from scratch, just in case you had already a run going on.
This patch will also come to all other platforms as soon as possible.
