Issues fixed
Game crashing/freezing/stuttering and weird behavior
- Seems to affect mainly Windows 7 users, most likely because of the game not having access to enough RAM. Freeing up RAM by closing background applications or increasing the page file size may help. Also disabling fullscreen optimizations on Windows 10 may solve stutter issues.

Modding
- Rain World on Steam Workshop
- RainDB - Rain World Mod Database
- Modding is officially supported with Steam Workshop integration.
- For mods still on v1.5, use the "legacy" beta branch on Steam and the RainDB tutorial to install the old mod loader + mod manager.
Progression Skipping
- Rain World's campains are intended to be played in a certain order, you may experience sudden high difficulty and spoil previous campains' story if you proceed.
