Banquet for Fools News

🌱 Updated on GoG, Steam as well as the Demo:


[h2]🌙 Additions [/h2]
🌱 Updated with Unity engine patch to fix platform’s potential security vulnerability
⚠️ This engine update has an odd bug in it caused by animations. We’re continuing to find more ways to ensure it doesn’t happen until they fix the issue, but it seems to mainly happen when the game is running in the background (like you’re using other software while it’s also going).

If it does occur you’ll know when your game slows down unexpectedly. It’s fixable by closing out or going back to the main menu and loading. We’ll be continuing to run tests, but if this does happen we’d love to get your player log files if you get a chance to send it our way! We can pinpoint any remaining instances of it occurring.

It hasn’t been common after some checks we put in, but we’re still on the lookout for it, sorry for any future trouble! We had to update the engine for their security thing, and engine updates can be shaky.
