We’re pleased to announce that a new patch has just been launched focusing on bug fixing and some performance improvements! Along with fixing many of your bug requests, this patch will correct some issues with framerate drops and stutters – plus we’ve also eliminated some game crashes.

Thank you all again for your patience and help as we fix these issues. Please continue to tell us if you run into other problems on the Ourang Medan – other than murderous pirates, ghosts, and the hazards that come from being trapped on a giant rotting battleship – those are all working as intended!
