Hello, everyone! It came to our attention that some players experienced incorrect game language settings or other malfunctioning features after the update for 14 languages support.

It has been identified that these issues are highly likely to be caused by applying mods.
To resolve issues caused by applied mods, please delete any installed mod files and restart the game.

If you are facing difficulties in removing specific mod files, it is recommended to delete the 'BepInEx' folder, which is the common installation path for mods.

Common Mod Installation Path:

• Local Folder for Game Installations → Steam\steamapps\common\Dinkum\BepInEx
  

After deleting the 'BepInEx' folder, please restart Dinkum and check if the issue is resolved.
If the problem persists or you encounter any other issues, please do not hesitate to contact us anytime. Thank you.

※ Note: External mods are not officially compatible with Dinkum. Please kindly be aware that deleting the 'BepInEx' folder may remove all installed mod functionalities.

We've resolved an issue in multiplayer where guests were unable to perform certain actions, such as using an axe. We apologize for the inconvenience and will continue to monitor and optimize the gameplay experience for smoother performance.

To apply the update, you will need to restart Dinkum. Steam should update the game automatically, but if no update appears, you can manually check by right-clicking on Dinkum in your Steam library, selecting Installed Files, and clicking Verify Integrity of Game Files.
