Hotfix Update
Hey gang, we're hard at work on our first content update right now, and despite the holidays we have managed to bring you yet another hotfix update with lots of fixes and improvements.
Here is the list of some of the most noteworthy changes:
Visuals
added hard landing animation as well as landing animations variations when player holds a pistol or a shotgun

Gameplay
faster swimming when holding shift
fixed bug when Jack would rarely freeze and stop responding to keyboard input if he ate or drink something in rapid succession
Save/Load
autosave before sitting at a campfire
autosave on quest finish
UI
added an enemy healthbar and label at the top of the screen that is currently under attack of the player
can now clear any hotbar slot by right clicking and selecting "clear slot" option
empty containers are now labeled as such
the player can now drag an item to a hotbar straight from a container
the hunger/thirst notifications should show up once every 30 seconds
Quests/Dialogs
green bug quest: added a visual placeholder so it is now clear where the bait must be placed once the player found the right cluster of bitebug hives
it is no longer required for the player to "install" the bait for the greenbug from the inventory
the green bug is a quest item, so it doesn't matter how many regular bugs the player has in his inventory
it is now possible to return Zak's whistle to Zak
talking with Juggo immediately after he says he's going to start digging but before he actually starts moving should no longer result in Juggo being stuck
We recommend to start a new game. However, if you didn't yet start the green bug quest, loading an old save might just work.

Other

various typos fixed.
We strongly recommend you to start a new game. You might try loading an old save, though we cannot guarantee that you won't encounter odd bugs, as in this hotfix update we were concentrating on fixing issues, not backward compatibility. In future updates we will try to make it possible to load up an old saves without major errors.
Hotfix Update
Some of you may have noticed that we've already pushed a couple of updates but didn't yet announce what exactly went into those updates. The following list should give you an idea.
The list of changes includes but not limited to:
Fixed a bug with Vasily's dialog, where if you chose the wrong option at the start would result in him skipping the introduction and not starting his quest. This is fixed for new games and those of you who didn't talk to Vasily yet. If you load an old game, you could hit ~ and type in the console startquest vasily_tools
The scanner should no longer highlight empty containers
Fixed a bug where you couldn't overwrite a savegame
Hitting Save button without selecting any save and without typing anything now saves into a "default" slot
Fixed the problem where saving after finishing a certain quest would result in game crashing before loading main menu.
The hungry slaves now want fried meat and their dialog (and quest journal entries) reflect that.
Fixed a bug where while typing in the save game name, the main character would quietly react to some of the keys pressed.
Fixed a bug where Zak's arphant would be stuck if saved when it's running to Zak.
Stone Heads Trader now has a proper dialog.
Added collisions to antigravium crystals.
Various typos fixed.
While we recommend to start a new game, in theory loading up an old one might just work.
