Build 35 Released

IMPORTANT: If Build 35 fails to start on your machine then please check this thread. Steam may have failed to install the required VC Redist 2015 file. Build 35 is here, and has a huge changelist. You can view it in its entirety here. The highlights are, however, listed below. If you wish to report bugs then please use our bug tracker. If you have more complex needs please visit our Support forum. We anticipate balance and loot tweaks that will be made from player feedback in the coming days. Build 35 will be released on non-Steam platforms after the initial patching process has ended. Work on other systems such as anims/combat/clothing continues, but the large amount of additions already in the beta test of Build 35 made it sensible to release before the holiday season - this release is separate to the animation branch and will not impact on its arrival time. We anticipate that multi-tile object movement will go into a brief period of public testing next week before being merged into the main build. Huge thanks go out to our friends at General Arcade for working on the VOIP aspect of this build. Many thanks. Enjoy! ROSEWOOD, MARCH POINT AND ROSEWOOD PRISON COMPLEX
