  • Alcohol and opioid detox were not triggering if you were asleep when the timer ran out. This has been fixed.

  • The withdrawal timers for drugs were incorrectly restarting in some cases. This is no longer the case, and withdrawals should (provided you don't start using again) properly wear off after a few days in all cases now.

  • Updated and improved some messaging regarding sleep deprivation.

  • Fire resistance was not working properly for some gear. This has been fixed. In particular, the survivor firesuit now provides a high level of protection from flames.

  • Added a small amount of fire resistance to most normal clothing materials, usually just a point or two.

  • The sword cane was like a quarter the size and weight it should have been. This has been fixed.

  • The sword cane is no longer a medium sword, it is fencing weaponry only. It does a bit less damage and has been downgraded from high blocking ability to medium blocking ability as it lacks a hilt guard. Note that hilt guards are not a prerequisite for high blocking ability, it's just that the item isn't otherwise suited to the job.

  • @False Ritchie submitted some updates to the Russian translation.

  • @SSZY submitted more updates to the simplified Chinese translation.
