Before this update all the save files would had been saved locally and then synced with the steam cloud from time to time, but this didn't allways worked for everyone, some times the whole progress could be lost.
Anyway, I re-wrote the system to now save all you're savedata directly on the steam servers which should hopefully now make it nearly impossible to loose any progress ever again.

Performance Upgrade
Many of you sure know that the performance was indeed very bad, so I sat back the last weeks and re-wrote the code for rendering all 3D stuff which comes at the cost of an big performance increase, I also removed most if not all memory leaks.

New Monster | Hyla
Hex Mark Leave a 64 pixel wide circle on the ground where you are standing. Any survivor who walks into it is weakened for 60 seconds (they can carry 3 less max keys and 1 less key for delivering). When a hex is triggered it will remain on the ground for the rest of the game but wont affect any more survivors. Has 5 charges. Charges and cooldown is shared with Hex ritual.
Hex Ritual Works exactly the same as Hex mark except when a survivor steps on it, you become invisible for 8 seconds. Has 5 charges Charges and cooldown is shared with Hex mark.
Hex Portal Place down one 64 pixel wide circle on the ground where you are standing that looks identical to hex mark/ritual. Does'nt affect survivors. Activating perk again immediately sends you below the circle and it takes 1 seconds to emerge to the surface, gaining full stamina when finished. The circle remains on the ground but has no more purpose. Has one charge.
New Survivor Perks
Cloak This perk can be used to become invisible, you cannot move while invisible, the invisibility ends automatically after 30 seconds unless canceled manually beforehand.
Dusk Veil This perk item can be used to create a wall that you can walk through but cannot see. The wall will automatically disappear after 15 seconds.
