Thanks to everyone who has been playing since launch. This first patch is mostly about shoring things up: saves that failed without saying so, and a way the game could shut itself down on a busy PC. It also takes about 315 MB off the install.StabilityFixed the game closing itself without a word. Each piece of scene art gets a time limit while it loads. If your PC happened to be busy - an antivirus sweep, a download, another game patching in the background - that limit could run out, and the game would quit rather than wait a moment longer. Now it waits.If the game does go down, it says so. The window used to just vanish. You now get a message telling you what went wrong and which folder the report landed in, which makes it far easier to send it our way.SavesFixed autosaves that could fail silently. Antivirus software, cloud sync and the Windows search indexer all grab a file for a moment...
