Hey Drifters, in this latest BETA patch, we’ve overhauled how our textures are loaded to minimize memory crashes, hangs, game launch black screens, and driver crashes.
We’re putting this up in the BETAS tab, so to try it out:
Right click on Hyper Light Drifter in your Steam Library
Navigate to properties
Hit the BETAS tab
Use the drop down to select “next_update”
In this patch:
<*>Massive Texture Optimization
<*>You now heal 2 frames faster
<*>Grenade is thrown in mouse direction (KBM)
<*>Alt f4 to quit always works
<*>Alt Drifter intro sequence fix
<*>Changed final gearbit requirement for Gearbit achievement
<*>Hoarder achievement now achievable
<*>Various bug fixes for levels (couple of warp/death loops)
<*>Various level patching for missing floor/odd collisions
<*>Adjusted Gearbit counts/slight change to few placements
<*>Various health kit placement adjustments
<*>No more West Boss skip (sorry speedrunners; you can still skip East with your super tricks)

Thanks to everyone
I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for all of your amazing feedback and help finding remaining bugs and issues. Screen shots and video, descriptions of procedures to repro have all been incredibly helpful.
I've spent my weekend working through and sorting it all out. We will be putting up a patched version as soon as we can addressing remaining issues in the betas channel for all to try out in the coming day(s). In fact, there's a new Mac and Linux build going up AS I TYPE THIS that alleviates the black screen madness people were getting.
I deeply appreciate all the understanding, kindness and patience everyone has had so far. This is a big game, we're a small team and dealing with many different configurations on three platforms is a lot of work, so we're doing our absolute best to get through it all. (Lesson learned: launch one platform at a time :) )
