Bug Fixes in Patch Build

Thank you so much to everyone that has played The Siege and the Sandfox so far! It has been a pleasure to see everyone's reactions, watch your playthroughs and read your feedback.

There have been some issues raised, which we've tried to address with this latest patch. Below is a list of the fixes and changes we've provided within it. We hope it improves your Sandfox experience, and please keep letting us know of any further issues and bugs you might have and, of course, what you're enjoying about our game!

- Cardboard Sword Team

• Fixed Borderless Windowed creating a tiny, unusable, window on start. Default is now exclusive fullscreen, preventing this issue, even when the default is changed to borderless.
  > Pressing ALT + ENTER will maximise the tiny window for players that experience this problem
  > If you still have the game instantly minimising after the patch, you will need to delete your %LocalAppdata%/Sandfox/Saved/Config folder (by default this is found at: C:\Users[Username]\AppData\Local\Sandfox\Saved\Config). NOTE: This will reset all of your settings to defaults.
