[i]Hello, folks! The following is from KospY himself:[/i] Following the release of U8, we are working hard to fix the performance issues and bugs. We are happy to announce that today with the 8.2 patch, most major issues should have been fixed, and performance should be back to around how it was in U7. Obviously it will not be the last patch for U8 as there is still many issues to fix (see known issues at the bottom). We will continue to work on U8 for some time to bring more performance improvements, fixes and even some minor content. Thanks to everyone for their patience while we were working on fixes. U8 was an huge update and a pretty major challenge, such an update for an early access game is not something common, and we hope the majority will be happy of all the changes ːsteamhappyː You will find below the changelog of update 8.2 (as well as 8.1!)
