We’re continuing to improve the game’s experience. Today we have a lot of fixes primarily focused on the co-op part of the game, including adjustments for a multitude of reported synchronization issues between the game’s host and guest.
We’re sorry for taking so much time in bringing you the update but we’re taking additional precautions and development steps to ensure all of the fixes, adjustments and improvements are working as intended.
As we promise to continue working on improving the game, we are aware some issues may still occur. If you ever find yourself in a situation in which starting a new day did not synchronise correctly between players in co-op mode, a simple reload of the last save file will most likely fix the issue for you. We’re continuing to pinpoint these problems and resolve them as fast as we can.
