fixedIdle Enemy Bug - We are actively tracking a bug that has delayed this launch long enough. Enemies sometimes stand idle. Just defeat them to progress. We will patch this as soon as we get it pinned down for good! (This should be fixed in v17.1)
addedMap Non Functional - This build introduces a new world map UI but the math and art are off sync, so it doesn't quite function. It's a decent reference at times just not super helpful. This will be fully functional in Build 18. The compass feature does work to help guide you.
fixedControl/Setting Oddities - We're still in the process of remapping some of the controls so the schematics in the main menu have a couple keys that are out of date, we'll be updating them with each build. Some settings may also be displaying incorrectly but will be resolved. Gamepad controls are still limited, but are in the pipeline for Build 18.
