If you experience issues or bugs in this patch, please post on the steam page or in the Discord and I will try to get it fixed by next Tuesday's release. Also the load time for the game is a couple seconds longer now than it was before. I will address this in a future patch, it is not a bug.
I will also post a release schedule for June soon. The first week of June will focus on bug fixes but I expect to have another big release at the end of June.
Thanks all,
John
