Hi folks! Our post-release work has been mostly focused on fixing all of the reported issues. This includes the very few crash reports we’ve gotten (stuff like mods and startup on other platforms) and implementing some misc features, but we’re not making any new content. We don’t have an ETA for these to go out in a patch yet, but when we do, we’ll let you know. We’ve also gotten some feedback about a few enemies being a bit too punishing (looking at the armor-bypassing bandits), and we’ve noticed a few things on our own while recording some new footage to get streamed on the store page.

General fixes: • Fixed a bug where switching the graphics API to Direct3D 12 through the Options menu would lock the game in a grey screen, or a splash screen. • Fixed a crash when clicking on the Bestiary notification. • Fixed a bug where the Bestiary would stop showing the "unknown" beast names when clicking on any of the beast buttons. • Fixed a bug in Endless Mode where enemy wave spawning was not scaling correctly. • Fixed an issue where changing the Max Rendering Resolution setting in the menu would sometimes not be saved correctly. • Fixed a bug where user input was possible before the

Hey folks! Yesterday we launched the game into its 1.0 incarnation! Endless mode is now available after you beat the game on any difficulty, and is retroactively enabled for everyone who had Hard+ mode already unlocked. First to address one issue most people have been experiencing: the bestiary notification on the left side of the screen is currently causing a crash, and we have a fix for it already and will push a hotfix later today, along with some other fixes. In the meantime, you can get to the bestiary if you open the book regularly via the button on the top, and clicking the bestiary boo

New features: • Added a new game mode: Endless. It's a survival gauntlet in a brand-new biome (the heart of the Cataclysm) which is unlocked after beating the Campaign once. General fixes: • Fixed a bug where Surge (from Ranger's Surging Shot) was being granted based on damage dealt by any member of the warband instead of the attacking Ranger. • Fixed a bug where Ranger's Hunter's Spree skill (upgrade of Shoot) and Hunter's Prize (upgrade of Hunter's Mark) interacted incorrectly with each other, causing only one of them to apply. • Fixed a few small visual issues with tooltips.
