Hi all,

In the week+ since launch, we’ve been doing some work to fix a number of small bugs in the game. By volume, most of these fixes are for bugs with the localization system (text not being replaced properly when translated.) We also replaced a few fonts in English and other languages to make them a better size or more readable. Additionally we added optional command lines to run the game via alternate rendering paths, as a workaround for the rare bug where lights don’t render in game (ie the house looks pitch dark all the time.)

Please see the patch notes below for a full list of fixes, and a list of all the new/changed localization text that will need to be added if you have started a fan translation. If you bought the game on Steam it should be updated already; if you bought it on Humble, please visit your download page to grab the new version.

Thanks for playing!
