  New Crash Reporter
  
  We added a tool to the game that will help us track down and fix crashes players experience. If you get a crash please report it using the new tool so we can take a look.
  
  
  Seizure of Power
  
  We have made available more commands for server admins to better moderate and tinker with their in-game population, to see the new commands type /help in chat.
  
  
  Finish the fight
  
  For a long time now, fights have been dictated with "Break their bone and kill them from behind" or "Hit them with enough bleed that no matter what they do, they die." This is our first step in trying to rectify that. If a bleed tick would place you under 10% health, its damage is ignored.
  
  
  Return of the Giga
  
  With the return of the Giga, this marks the final roster for the next two months. We know Giga is a big point of contention because he's as large as the tyrannosaur but we don't want them to just be the same creature. With his reintroduction, a wrench may be thrown into the niches of both his prey and other competing predators. We will be adjusting stats over the next week or so to get every survival dinosaur into a stable position of being able to stay alive both in solo-play and in groups. Please be sure to leave feedback inside the official Discord.
