Unity Update Patch

unity patch
With this patch, we fulfill the promise we made in the wake of the Unity update. In the last couple of weeks, the team focussed on addressing the various issues that arose with the last update. It fixes several crash bugs you reported as well as some other bugs that affected gameplay or visuals.
Another priority was, as always the performance of the game. We made some improvements that should result in an overall performance increase for most players, fewer FPS drops and smoother gameplay.
While we have thoroughly tested all fixes, there might still be certain cases where players will experience some issues. Should you be affected, please let us know either here in the comments, or in the Steam forum.
