v1.15.23 - The Multiplayer API Update!

Dear Stormworkers,

This minor update is mostly focused on fixes and quality of life improvements. One significant change is that we have re-written the multiplayer to use the latest version of the Steam P2P networking - previously the game was using the original version of Steam networking from when the game first released, over 8 years ago.

This change should improve the quality of multiplayer experience for some players - the newer Steam networking is generally considered much better than their old one.

As well as this, we have made various other fixes and improvements which will hopefully improve the game for many.

Please see the patch notes below for full details.

In case you have missed it, our new game Anymaker is set to launch in Early Access next week, on September 18th. Please check it out.

We hope you enjoy this new update!

Much love <3,

The Stormworks Developers

Your support makes these updates possible.
