Update #2 - Stability Improvements, Quality-of-Life and Bug Fixes

First of all, THANK YOU to everyone who has left a Steam review so far! ❤️ It's one of the best and most impactful ways you can support me and the game.

Also a huge thank you to all the modders who have managed to make all these cool things without me even publishing a proper API documentation yet: https://steamcommunity.com/app/2764460/workshop/

For anyone wanting to try mods and help test the modding framework, remember that you need to be on the "mods" branch in order to load subscribed mods. NOTE: This branch is unstable and not up to date yet, so do not use it if you only want to play vanilla.

Changelog

v0.5.5 -- Update #2

• Added significantly more logging to help diagnose and debug crashes.

  • Logs can be found at the following locations:

    • Windows: \\Users\\<username>\\AppData\\Roaming\\sandustry\\logs\\main.log

    • Mac: /Users/<username>/Library/Logs/sandustry/main.log

    • Linux: /home/<username>/.config/sandustry/logs/main.log

  • Also added optional Crashpad diagnostics. Since crash dumps may contain sensitive info, I will reach out to people experiencing crashes and tell them how to enable it if you want to help me debug the issues.

• Instruction videos are now animated images instead of video files, fixing GPU crashes and OBS capture hook loss when hovering previews. Expect slightly reduced quality and a somewhat larger install size.

• You can now use Alt+Enter to toggle between fullscreen and windowed mode. The game also remembers which monitor you last played on.

• Added a workaround for the right mouse button getting stuck on macOS (e.g. the Vacuum spraying forever). The proper fix for this is still pending.

• You can no longer accidentally softlock yourself by using the radial menu in the tutorial.

• Improved Aura Extractor controls with clearer hover guidance and swarm targeting indicators.
