Hello, it's just another small patch in publicbeta. This is mainly to fix a crash when you try pickpocketing someone but your character is too moral or likes them too much to want to hurt them, which disables stuff like chokehold. But I didn't realise it was happening with pickpocketing, and the warning message caused a crash. There's also a fix for characters getting stuck in a loop finding wood to replenish a fire. And the Polish translation is getting close to being finished! Here's the full change list:

EDIT - Released a hotfix for a crash in the debug menu and to fix a selection targeting issue, so it's v285 now:

What's this publicbeta thing?

v285 will be in the "publicbeta" branch on Steam for a while, before pushing it to the main game and to XBox. If you want to try the latest features as they come out (and help test them!) it's a good idea to start using this branch. But keep in mind:

To use publicbeta, just right-click on Survivalist: Invisible Strain in your Steam library and go to Properties, then "Game Versions & Betas" and select "publicbeta".
