G’day Forts Fans! This hotfix doesn’t change the version in the main menu or invalidate replays, as none of the changes affect gameplay. In an effort to improve the first multiplayer experience of some eager users, we’ve required them to complete the tutorials before unlocking the menu. To reduce accidental pausing in multiplayer, the Escape button must be pressed by the host for a short period to bring up the pause menu. Thanks to KingBenjai and other testers we’ve sorted out a few edge-cases that were causing errors and desyncs. Let us know if anything plays up and we’ll get onto it.
