Here's a bug update for Windows and Mac.

Thanks for the reports!

• Fixed CTD on startup on some versions of Windows and OSX.
  

Update #18 is now live for both Windows and Mac. We've made some improvements to performance and brand new additions. The full patch notes are below. There's been progress on multiplayer ranks and singleplayer. Both will be coming to Early Access early next year.

The Mac version is now up to date. Ruby and Sapphire are now available, as well as all the content from the Anniversary Update onwards. Please report any bugs you encounter while playing this version and we'll get to fixing them.

This is the last big update for the year. We'll be back in a couple of days for a end-of-year post, but aside from that we'll be off for a couple of weeks to spend time with our families.

From everyone on the team we'd like to wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

• Updated powerup graphics
  
• Added a charge bar icon to all charged weapons
  
• Fixed error with Downwell's exp gem not finding a player when transitioning to a new round
  
• Fixed issue where some game modes had a 1 second debug option
  
• Testing new fix for infinite vibrations at end of rounds
  
• Performance improvements during matches
  
• Added a temporary framerate counter
  

Welcome to another monthly update.

Continuing from our previous patch release, last month's focus was mainly in multiplayer content. Multiplayer rank progression is in the pipeline. Gain experience by playing online matches and unlock some cool content on the way. We still need a bit of time before we release it so please expect it to launch in early 2018.

Work has started on a singleplayer mode. A new way to play the game and hone your skills as you battle new and unique foes. We're gathering all the feedback we can for this campaign mode so expect frequent updates in the following months as we add creatures, bosses and other surprises.

With a couple of weeks left of 2017, the next patch won't include any new features but instead focus on bug fixes and changes made from feedback.

I know I said we'd be releasing it in December, but there's enough stuff done already to skip a few weeks and release it now. Just let me know if anything breaks.
This is the official Lobby Revamp update, complete with customizable match settings. It's a huge quality of life upgrade from the last version, plus some new visuals.
