http://devblog.sim155.com/2016/06/v801.html

Cheers!

OK released!
After a last minute fix for an issue with a particular controller config we finally released!

Thanks to everyone for the comments on the Steam forum (good and bad!), we're reading them all and have logged any issues. Build 801 is due tomorrow with some bug fixes and extra graphics settings including vignette, brightness and contrast.

Expect a lot of updates this week for features that missed the cut for release.

As always, thanks for your support!

Reported bugs/crashes
Hey guys

A few teething issues - we cant reply to all of your individual comments but we are reading them. We are working on the reported issues and we will post announcements when we have resolved them.

Please bear with us. Thanks for your patience.



Launch build - 3 hours and counting
Three hours and counting as we write this post!

Ahead of the 6pm launch time (GMT!! - 'Will it be midnight release' thread making us chuckle) we wanted to give you a more detailed heads up on what to expect from the launch build.

You can read all about it over at Ed's blog: http://devblog.sim155.com/2016/06/like-phoenix.html

Thanks for all your support ːsteamhappyː





Community Feedback - Threads/Communication
As we prepare for release we have been considering the best way to monitor your feedback and plough this back into development throughout EA.

One method we will use is to merge similar threads - So for example we may end up with a thread on VR, a thread on Mod-ability, Multi-player etc............

This will really help when we are reviewing your feedback and conversing with you on particular topics. It will also be more time effective than raking through lots of individual threads when we are working on certain areas - allowing us to maximise development time.

If we find that this approach doesn't work for whatever reason we will think again! Also - We may be looking for community moderators in the coming weeks.

Thanks for your support - and please keep your feedback coming!

Price
Hi everyone!

As launch is fast approaching we thought we had better let you know how much CAP2 will cost. The Early Access price will be $29.99. Its worth noting that Steam converts the price for different regions based on factors other than exchange rate - so for example the UK price will be £22.99 and the Euro price €27.99, both are slightly more than the current exchange rate. Some regions will be less,
