Patch 5, hotfix 0.27.604.1055: important updates at the finish line

A couple of weeks ago, we released content patch 5 and soon after it — the first hotfix to it that eliminated a lot of annoying bugs, discovered by our players. Now it’s time for the second batch of fixes. Most of the team is working on polishing the final Encased build, final version of voice-over and translations so this hotfix released a little bit late.
