  • Upgrade Grids now show a listing of the stats that are active.

  • Rocket Launcher projectile speed now increases properly with upgrades/items
  • Rocket Launcher explosion radius now increases properly with upgrades/items
  • Certain localized strings now format correctly

  • Added markers to Chefs In Peril missions

[h2]Known Issues[/h2]

  • No significant performance tuning has been done yet. If you are graphics bound, you can try lowering the quality settings in the Esc menu via Options → Video, but systems with more constrained hardware may struggle
  • Not all input buttons and keys have icons in the UI yet. Text descriptions (eg. “J”, or “Button West”) will show up for things that do not yet have an icon in the input glyph map
  • When observing other players, some UI bits such as the reload HUD don’t show accurate information for the observed player
  • All cutscenes and voiceover dialogue are WIP (and most lines aren’t in at all yet)
