Hi everyone,

We just released the second Open Demo update, V 0.4.6.4 (our internal game build number).We continue to receive all of your feedback to make this demo and the final game as good as possible.

Here's what's new in this Update:

Bugs

  • Fixed campfires/furnaces producing heat when not on fire.

  • Fixed disappearing furniture inside some of the houses.

  • Fixed climbing/mantling interactions. It was sometimes possible to mantle ‘inside’ of a building or out of a starting plane.

  • Fixed some geometry placement around the world that could block player movement.

Optimization / Performance

  • Increased Clothing simulation distance on flags and windstocks (if clothing simulation is enabled).

  • Optimized LODs on some meshes in the game for better performance.

Improvements

  • Items dropped in the snow will now leave realistic snow dents/trails.
