• Localization: [list]
• We keep adding new game text (gameplay, UI, Dialogs), but it can take some time to translate everything in all 10 languages of the game. Localization will be regularly updated in upcoming update notes.[/*]

• We are aware that crashes occurred on specific integrated graphics cards and our devs are working to find a proper fix.[/*]
• The problem seems to be an issue with Intel's GPU drivers and DirectX11. Please, before playing, check if your drivers are up to date. And if you still have the issue, we added compatibility with DirectX12 which seems to fix the problem on some GPUs. This option can be activated by adding the following command in the "Game Launch Options" of the game on Steam: -force-d3d12[/*]

• Some random dialogs for the new Brad version are missing. See them in the next hotfix patch.[/*]
• When using the skip of the movie bosses, there can be visual problems with their animation.[/*]
• Death passes on some of the new Christmas assets while they are in the foreground.[/*]
• Possible missing SFX - No voice at all on boss dialogues, no voice on the first line of each dialogue.[/*]
• Some elements in Will Hung's office are not the right ones.[/*]
• In the shop, if the player finds an item on sale, he can’t purchase it before getting the amount of soularies required BEFORE the sale. The amount of soularies used is still the correct one. (For example: the koffee normally costs 20 and 10 with the sales. You will need 20 soularies in your inventory to buy it but only 10 are used).[/*]
• The icons and VFX of weapons may be missing in the Secret room cairns.[/*]
• Only the first mine of PumpQuinn Omega explodes and deals damage [/*]
