Thank-you all for your support over the last week! It has been great to get such positive feedback and i'm glad you are all enjoying the game. I have been hard at work implementing a steam multiplayer server browser in the last few days. This will replace the direct IP connection system, and should allow players to have an easier time playing with each other.



Patch Notes

• Added a new steam multiplayer server browser.
  
• Fixed an issue where the settings menu would not display from the main menu.
  

The next minor update will be within the next week and will focus on some of the other smaller issues that have been reported. If you haven't already please join the FolkloreHunter discord if you have any suggestions, bug reports, or feedback: Folklore Hunter Discord Server
