Grey screen patch 0.5.0-4

This should fix the infamous grey screen bug when joining sessions!
If you still get it, please let us know.

  • Fix two different bugs that could prevent you from joining a session properly, getting a grey screen instead
  • Implement proper debug console (you can open that with F2)
  • Fixed pause menu quitting bug
  • Fixed name and classpect not showing in equipment tab
  • Added four additional houses
  • Removed option to return to the menu when dying, as it can break the session. Just respawn and then end the session from the pause menu.
  • Fixed bug where new cruxtruders are closed but cannot be opened
  • Fixed some general bugs that would spam the log file with useless errors


Next up, we'll try to fix the various bugs around teleporting, making gates not work, teleport you to a random place in the air, or bringing you to a grey void.

Lobby Hotfix 0.5.0-3

  • Joining through the friend list should work now
  • Game invites and joining works as well with the sole exception of accepting an invite when the game is closed.
    This currently doesn't work but we're working on it.
  • Fix various bugs related to loading a session
  • Fix hair not showing up in the character creator on Mac
  • Allow placing down machines multiple times again
  • Added a button to invite players inside a lobby
  • Other misc. fixes
