Hello mates, a small patch incoming with a slew of fixes for U12.

One of the most noticeable fixes will be felt by Index players who were having issues with the physical swimming; this should feel a ton better now and be on par with the Quest swimming controls.

Another huge fix is something that has been the scourge of B&S troubleshooting since early modding days. Many will know the pain of installing a bad mod that causes infinite loading, or even worse, removing that bad mod but still having your game hang or your performance reduce to a crawl because the missing mod is spamming the logs with errors.
Finally we have a potential solution implemented so that corrupt/invalid asset bundles for mods should no longer hang loading and save files with old mod data are now cleaned out so old data doesn't spam the log with errors. ːsteamdanceː

On the SDK side, the spawning books and alters are now fixed so custom arena maps should be good to go. The first iteration of custom Dungeons documentation is also now out, meaning modders can now read up on how to make custom dungeons. ːpraisesunː We will keep adding more documentation to the wiki as time goes on; some folks have been asking for custom music documentation for example.

And by the way, on the subject of modding, in less than 4 weeks since release the number of mod downloads for Blade & Sorcery on modio has passed 22 million downloads with 11 million subscribers..... for any game, let alone a VR game, that is completely and utterly bananas. B&S modders are smashing records over there - we are proud of you guys! ːsteamsunnyː

That's it for now, folks! Last little note because I know non-Steam players read these news too --
