| Multiplayer Back and Stable! | 2021-07-14 | The Beginning Hello all! I wanted to apologise for the wait on the patch to stabilise the multiplayer mode.

| Release Multiplayer Issues... | 2021-07-09 | Release and the Wreckage Hello all! I has already been a rough launch! I am SOOO sorry about that! I wish these issues were known of sooner but it came to light only recently. To sum up the current issues, Multiplayer is not working due to desyncing. The caused of this I believe is the pipeline of network code sent from the servers to the clients and clients to the server is being over run with non-essential code. This causes MAJOR desyncing while playing the game, it breaks the game in ways i didn't expect, parts i thought were flawless now have issues. To counter this over the next week I will be digging into the code of the game and attemp |
