[h3]Known Issues[/h3]

Missing localization for a handful of newly added or edited strings. There will be a hotfix to add these in as soon as possible.
Some players may experience an issue where attempting to assign the space bar to some options sometimes reopens the rebinding menu and prevents the key from being assigned. This is currently being investigated.

We hope to have a patch for these two known issues at the start of next week and we'll keep everyone update for when they drop.

That's it for this patch. Please let us know all of your thoughts in the comments below, if you love the update and the game feel free to help us out with a review. We hope that everyone has fun with the game!
