Survivalist: Invisible Strain

It's ten years since the infection started. Long-established settlements are collapsing, one by one, for unknown reasons. Survivors are running to the hills to escape, hoping for safety in remote places. As another refugee, you're here to carve out a new life for yourself - by any means necessary.

Hey everyone I've released another patch in publicbeta. This one is a bunch more fixes for things people reported over the last week or so, in particular a couple of crashes. Still avoiding major changes while I try to make sure the publicbeta build is in good shape to be pushed to the main branch. Let me know if you see any more crashes - thanks! [list] [*] AI in combat with zombies has a chance (based on hand to hand skill) to parry/dodge them when they come in for a bite [*] Possible fixes for FEMA and Pilot's Union declaring war on each other [*] Fix for achievements for story or sandbox mode being unlocked when not in the correct mode [*] Fix for chefs sometimes emptying cooking pots of valuable stew in order to cook something with them [*] Fix for red strain zombies spawning in white strain towns in Sandbox mode sometimes [*] Fix for characters with invisible strain who got kicked from their communities and then turned getting deleted very quickly [*] Fix for characters sometimes just saying What's up? as a 'true' memory in the drinking game [*] Fix for characters not having a Died memory if someone in their community dies of natural causes while not visible to anyone else in the community [*] Fix for crash that maybe happens when a vehicle goes off a bit the edge of the map [*] Fix for crash in online co-op when going into a building sometimes [/list] EDIT - released another patch, v209, to fix a missing dll crash on some machines. [h3]What's this [b]publicbeta[/b] thing?[/h3] v208 will be in the "[b]publicbeta[/b]" branch for a while, before pushing it to the main game. If you want to try the latest features as they come out (and help test them!) it's a good idea to start using this branch. But keep in mind:[list][*] Because it's the bleeding edge it could be less stable [*] If you want to be able to play online co-op with someone you'll need to be on the same version as them [*] If you go back from the "[b]publicbeta[/b]" branch to the main branch you may not be able to load savegames created on "[b]publicbeta[/b]".[/list] To use [b]publicbeta[/b], just right-click on Survivalist: Invisible Strain in your Steam library and go to Properties, then Betas and in the drop-down select "publicbeta".
