[h3]Dear Beta Testers;[/h3]

You have been a great support to us during this process. We have testers with over 170 hours of playtime. Many thanks for your support and hard work.

Since it has been asked frequently lately;
If you haven't seen your bug reports on discord, we probably didn't understand the problem. (Or it may be already reported)

Please give us more details in your bug reports.

We get dozens of reports like "I can't shoot" or "I fell to the ground".

Unfortunately, it is not possible to detect these bugs without details.

Please write exactly what happens when you encounter a bug, and the steps until that bug occurs.
As example :

1. I reloaded my Rifle type weapon;
   
2. While playing the reload animation, a Mech-type enemy hit me and my character fell to the ground.
   
3. When I get up from the ground, I can't fire even though my bullet looks full.
   
4. It is fixed when I save/load.
   

Thank you
