There have been reports that people's games are still sometimes freezing during level transitions. This is an issue that I thought I had fixed in the previous update, but apparently not. I'm still working out a fix for that one since it's especially egregious. I can't say for certain when a fix for that will be available, but I'll update the game as soon as I figure it out!
Again, thank you all for your support. This is a smaller content update, I know. I'm gonna keep putting out fixes and balance changes, but please look forward to the next content update as well! The tentative plan for the next content update is to release it in January 2022, hopefully around New Years. It'll be much more substantial than this update and I can't wait to share it with all of you! Again, I'll try to regularly put out fixes and balance patches until then.
Thank you all!
