Hey there, we have a bunch of big things in the works, but in the meantime we wanted to push out more fixes and minor additions we've done.

For those with limited accounts, you should be able to play the game, but nothing will submit. We strongly recommend making your Steam account unlimited (spending $5 USD of your own money) if you are playing on a Steam account you care about.

KZT, SDL3, and more will be coming in 0.10.4!

Hey there! We're really glad you all have been enjoying the public release.

We're hard at work fixing a lot of bugs, some of which (related to lobbies) are taking a bit longer than expected with finding the problems exactly. We believe it's something deeper in the Steam Networking library and are working on creating a bug report to submit to Valve.

In the meantime, please keep the feedback rolling in, and we will keep these updates rolling out!
