Issues unresolved

Unless otherwise stated, the developers are aware of the following issues.

Falling through terrain

This issue manifests itself through a wide variety of methods, such as getting pushed by ground vehicles, drilling, and so forth.

The developers are asking for community assistance in diagnosing the problem.^[3]

Issues fixed

Save game(s) disappear

When you change your character's name, save games associated with the previous name are not migrated to allow multiple users to play using the same account.

Rename saves^[4]
Go to `<path-to-game>\Saves\Players\` Find a file with the `.ply` extension which has your old player name (likely `Player`). Rename the file to replace the old player name with your new player name.
