V0.59

April / 17 / 2017

 

Hey everyone,

 

This is a small patch release adding support for players to create their own dedicated servers. We've set the dedicated server tool to release at 6pm PDT, however the patch of the main game to work with the tool should be released now.

 

As this is a first pass, it should be considered highly experimental. For the majority of players we recommend continuing to play the game in peer 2 peer mode whilst the final issues with dedicated server functionality are ironed out.

V0.59

 

  • Added experimental support for players to host their own dedicated servers
  • Added new dedicated server tool (downloadable via tools menu in steam)
  • Fixed grabbing a sled partially in water sometimes resulting in all following interactions no longer working
 

 

As always, please continue to post your bug reports and feedback in the Discussions area of the Community Hub
