Halfway through the July release and another HotFix is here. There have been some silly issues with two of the newer quests we wanted to fix, some of the shadowing issues to remove, missing textures bug to squish, improve stability and add the auto-save feature. There's a long list of fixes and features below, some of each being suggested by the community.
Thank you for your valuable feedback in the forums and by emails, everything makes a difference.
