Howdy Everyone,Long time no patch. This is a small but important one, it fixes OpenGL for players on integrated graphics and hopefully makes the game a bit more accessible for low end systems. I also fixed an issue with the font used for simplified Chinese where the character 回 was not rendering correctly.I'll also be turning on launch options for Windows players to be able to easily launch via Default (Vulkan), DirectX, or OpenGL more easily. I probably should have done this from the start with all the AMD driver problems with Vulkan.I've been deep in the trenches of the local co-op refactor and am just about done and testing things now. In addition to the co-op support I'll be adding 10~ more protocols. More importantly though, with that patch I intend to turn on the Steam Workshop and have things situated for modders to get cooking.If anyone is interested in modding or testing local co-op, please reach out on discord!https://discord.gg/aRpTSz5dDMYour friend,
