Bugfix and UI — Shadows of Forbidden Gods News

Hello everyone,

I've been trying to avoid updating the game too much because while there are some changes I wanted to make I was afraid they would break saves and mods. However, recent new bugs have forced me to make this change. Firstly a critical issue has arrived because mods are now getting out of sync with each other and causing game-breaking bugs. There was also a bad screen resolution bug I needed to resolve.

There are also reports in the community of some file corruption issues, so you may want to verify your files on Steam to fix those.

I've included a few UI updates I thought were important, alongside this. I've tried to avoid breaking any saves or mods, while also providing information on the UI I felt was too critical to miss.

If there are game-breaking bugs caused by this (including save files), let me know and I'll try to fix stuff. As a stopgap, the game branch "prev version" has been updated to the previous version so your save games should still work fine.
