Do take note - there are a few known issues still in this build that we are gonna patch right away. We simple didn't wanna hold this release back another day or two to fix these known issues since they are small in the grand scheme of the beta. They include a visual issue in the distance of Citadel, some lighting issues in Citadel, post-process is not working (can crash your game) and loading Survival on the map is not working at the moment (loading survival will load sandbox). We will also be changing a few small bits to tutorial for full U11 release too.
Other than that, if this build works well for players this build is what U11 full release will be, with the small change of including the few fixes to issues I mentioned above. Otherwise if players uncover more unforeseen major bugs then it will return to beta and there would need to be a third beta build. Hopefully this will simply be the one though! ːotrfingerscrossedː
Many thanks to all who had contributed feedback and logged bugs in the original beta launch; it was a big help!
