Hope you’re all ready for trying the newest patch, 0.185.1 which just landed on the public_testing branch! 🎮

[h4]Changelog 0.185.0 -> 0.185.1 public testing 🛠️[/h4]

Today’s changelog is going to be pretty short as we mainly focused on fixing the issues with loading save states. We were able to isolate and eliminate two culprits and we're working on another one along with further fixes.

Thanks in advance for letting us know about any issue or concern that you’ll potentially run across during the gameplay. Your commitment and engagement in testing is truly appreciated! 🙏 If public tests of the 0.185.1 will be successful and there will be no new major issues reported, we plan to push it to default branch too.
