Hello everyone!
Today we have good news and even better news.
The good news is - we are releasing the final hotfix for the Beta branch of the game!
You can take a look at all the changes at the end of this post. This one is all about the last bits and pieces. We went through all of your comments in regards to achievements, fixed how they unlock and behave, and gave the UI a final polish where we could.
Even better news - with this hotfix, we are ready to release all of those changes to the main branch of the game! But before doing this, we want to have a final check with you guys.
How should the main branch look going forward? Would you prefer the game to stay exactly as it is right now - untouched, the way you remember it?
Or should the updated version become the default, without the need to opt into the beta branch?
We know both options matter for different reasons, so we’d really like to hear what you think.
Let us know in the comments.
And now, to the promised changelog of the final.02.final5 hotfix!
Achievements
The check the damage for the “Onepunchman” achievement now accounts for all additional modifiers, buffs and debuffs.

Improved detection of visiting the Ultrax location.
Added a configuration file that allows configuring save scanning on game startup for unawarded achievements. It contains a parameter setf ~bg_scan X, where a value of 1 enables this feature, and a value of 0 disables it. This configuration file will be located in the game folder.
