Epic Online Services are not included in this build - we are delaying the release of their inclusion as we feel it is not stable enough to go live at this time, and we’ll be looking into the issues reported by players. Please note that when Epic Online Services are included, they will only be needed for the multiplayer experience.

[h3]Known Issues[/h3]

• The Halloween Vampire teeth currently have a spooky but fun issue where the damage is much higher than we want them to be. Enjoy for now but expect the damage numbers to reduce in future.
  
• In this update we have started to make some large (but mainly hidden!) changes to the ways that multiplayer modes connect to each other, which will also allow you to connect with others on other PC games platforms. To do this, we will be using Epic Online Services (EOS), which will allow us to connect Steam players to other Steam players, and in the future also to Epic players if we make the decision to launch on that platform too.
  The first time you run the update, the EOS bootstrapper will need to install some updated libraries to allow the lobbies and player information to work properly, but this should only happen once.
  
• Steam Deck - Due to the changes we’ve made to multiplayer modes, some of the elements don't work with the native Steam Deck emulation: this means that the game will still launch/run, but multiplayer will not be able to be selected or used.
  A workaround for this is to launch the game running Steam Deck's Proton software in Experimental Mode. Multiplayer will then be available as normal. We will continue to work on this so that we can go back to standard Steam Deck software as soon as we are able to: thanks for your patience while we work on this!
