Hey Folks! Just a heads-up that we added a hotfix, 0.15.0.33 to additionally strip some other variants of emphysema and pneumonitis from older saves. If your character still had issues with those health conditions after loading 0.15.0.32, saving and then loading that save in 0.15.0.33 should strip those health effects out. Best, Dan

Hey Folks! Just a quick hotfix (0.15.0.17) here for an issue some players ran into in the new build. It appears that a null reference could happen if the player uses transit to leave and come back just before the undock step of the tutorial. And this patch fixes that.
