Issues unresolved

Unless otherwise stated, the developers are aware of the following issues.

Falling through terrain

This issue manifests itself through a wide variety of methods, such as getting pushed by ground vehicles, drilling, and so forth.
The developers are asking for community assistance in diagnosing the problem.[3]

Issues fixed

Save game(s) disappear

When you change your character's name, save games associated with the previous name are not migrated to allow multiple users to play using the same account.
Rename saves[4]
  1. Go to <path-to-game>\Saves\Players\
  2. Find a file with the .ply extension which has your old player name (likely Player).
  3. Rename the file to replace the old player name with your new player name.

Notes

  1. Unity engine build: 2022.1.24f1[1]
  2. 2.0 2.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/383120/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (383120) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
  3. When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below %PROGRAMFILES%, %PROGRAMDATA%, or %WINDIR% might be redirected to %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore on Windows Vista and later (more details).
