Branch Update and Update 1.1.1.0 fix
I am updating the branches of the Linux and Windows version of the game. You may get a message for a missing executable. After i finished with the branch update the error will desapear.
You will need to update the game to the latest version of the game, not the beta.
I am also adding a Beta branch for future releases with a different save file. In case of another gamebreaking bug, or save file corrupt.
All of this changes will lower the risk of unexpected bug in the primary release.
Thanks you !
Update reverse
Due to a gamebreaking bug i am going to revert the game to the previous version.
The Update is added to a beta branch until all fixes and new tests are done.
I am investigating the problem and will be fixed as soon as possible.
Sorry for inconvenience.
