Back End Changes!?
Yes, lots of exciting things are happening behind the scenes. Progress continues for the enigmatic 3rd character and leaderboards are coming soon(tm). Those in the beta branch have been a great help and we hope that we can feed your competitive needs in the next week.
Save Migration
When you run this week's build, your save data will be copied from the original directory (.prefs) to the new directory found in the game directory in a new "preferences" folder (betaPreferences for beta). Yes, this will diverge beta and non-beta save data. This solves anti-virus false positives, full disk errors, and allows us to utilize Steam Auto-Cloud.
Steam Auto-Cloud
Your saves are now synced between computers! Please be careful not to overwrite your main save. If this occurs, the data is recoverable- there will be extra steps posted in the Bugs & Crashes FAQ in the Steam Discussions.
Localization
This weekly patch brings BETA-level localization for Korean. Here's a quick refresher on how to change your language!
We're still looking for community translators! Any and all help for translations are greatly appreciated. Just stop by the official Slay the Spire Discord's localization channel.
HOTFIX
The way writing files were written had a potential to corrupt the file if you quit while files were being written. Files are now written in a safer way (buffer + flush)
