fixedWe're continuing to investigate the few stability issues that have been reported. Specifically, most of the reports have been of the game crashing on exit, and some Linux users have experienced issues saving and loading levels. A potential fix has been identified for the 'crash on exit' problem. The fix seems to be addressing the issue, and is undergoing testing to ensure that the solution does not interfere with a few important functions. This seems to be a fairly common problem with some Unity games. If you are a Linux user who has been experiencing saving/loading issues, the vast majority of these problems can be fixed by right-clicking the game in the Steam library, selecting properties, and adding the following launch option: LC_ALL=C %command% This fixes a problem where periods and commas are switched in some regions. It would be desirable to make this a default launch option, and I am currently investigating if that is possible. Virtually all other crash issues that have been reported have been due to an interaction between the Steam overlay and the mono layer, and can be resolved by right-clicking on the game in your Steam library, selecting 'properties', and un-checking the Steam overlay toggle. If you are experiencing any issue not covered above, please email solzerogame@gmail.com and I am happy to help.
