Hey everyone!

Day 1 update for the "Missing in Forest Lake" DLC is now live. Thanks for the bug reports - they helped me catch the critical issues fast. Here's what's been changed:

Fixes:

Fixed the bug where the map wouldn't show up after loading a save and couldn't be unlocked again.

Fixed character clipping through terrain and falling under the map.

Vehicle improvements:

  1. Reworked car physics. It now has proper mass and doesn't behave like a toy anymore. Collisions with obstacles work correctly now.

  2. Added collision detection system that plays sound effects.

  3. Completely rebuilt boat controls. It's more predictable and responsive now - should feel much better to use.

  4. Fixed the bug that let you exit the boat in the middle of the lake, which would softlock the game. You can't leave the boat when it's too deep anymore - you'll get a message instead.

New stuff:

  1. Added sprint to the DLC map. You can move around on foot much faster now.

  2. Changed controller layout to fit sprint in. Crouch is now on D-Pad Left, sprint is on Left Stick Press (old crouch button).

A few other minor fixes.

Still working through your feedback. If you find bugs, report them on the forums - I read everything.

Good luck with the case!
