New bugfixing patch in publicbeta (v240), previous patch promoted to main (v239)

Hello, I've released a new small patch in publicbeta. This one is mainly focused on fixes for bugs at the beginning of Story Mode, in cases where the player does something a bit unexpected. Here are the changes:
  • Fix for Carter being able to join you too early if you fight and defeat the FEMA Patrol, which causes a number of later quest bugs
  • Fix for a situation where it was hard to have a conversation with a character because they were aware of a zombie that was inaccessible to them, and their AI kept wanting to attack it but failing
  • Fix for Kelly trying to rob you after she's already joined you if you shoot her with an arrow before you reach her
  • Lock player in place while talking if you surrender to Kelly at the beginning of story mode, to avoid new players unintentionally cancelling the surrender by moving around
  • Fixed various glitches around the starting quest in story mode
  • Stopped trash containers around Tent City from belonging to them so it's not considered stealing if you their take rags and empty bottles
  • Editor crash fixes
  • Updated Brazilian Portuguese, Czech, Indonesian, Latin American Spanish, Polish, Russian and Spanish translations

I've also promoted the previous patch, v239, to the main branch.

[h3]What's this publicbeta thing?[/h3]
v240 will be in the "publicbeta" branch for a while, before pushing it to the main game. 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:
  • Because it's the bleeding edge it could be less stable
  • If you want to be able to play online co-op with someone you'll need to be on the same version as them
  • If you go back from the "publicbeta" branch to the main branch you may not be able to load savegames created on "publicbeta".

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