  Settings Fixes

  Reworked settings setup, so that all machine should initialize them correctly, if your values are wrong then restoring to default should fix. There were race conditions in the settings setupThey should all be fixed, but some settings are lost with this update, restoring to default will fix those lost settings. V-sync does not work on some monitors, this is some weird driver issue that is not mentioned in the documentation, setting the target fps should have a similar effect if V-sync doesn't work for you.Some players are crashing on start up and I'm trying to figure out what's causing it.

  Dig For Your Lives V0.1 Hotfix 2

  Thank you all so much for playing I have never had player counts like these before, so I'm nervous to break something with an update. However there are a lot of fixes and improvements that need to see the light of day so here we go: If this version breaks the game for you, I will add a Last patch beta branch so you can still play while I fix issues with new versions.However there are no backups for save files so if it breaks your save, I can't guarantee you will get it back. Features*Added achievement for reaching the bottom.*Removed footsteps when crouching (So you can sneak up on your friends).*Added day counter on pause menu.*Cart next to repair terminal can store Iron for repairs.Changes*Hurt Enemies attack slower.*Made Big Zombie health scale faster.*Doubled Big Zombie Spawn chance.*Reduced Volumetric lighting outside to increase performance.*Nights are more difficult.Bugfixes*Reworked homing Arrows.*Made movement more snappy.*Explosive Arrows were exploding multiple times.*Explosive kills were not crediting money.*Enemy Health Scales correctly.*Fixed Nock and draw speed.*Improved bow Animations.*Correctly sync equipped items.*Relative arrow damage was being calculated twice.*Explosive Arrow damage scales with Arrow speed on release.Known Issues*Sometimes game does not start correctly, restarting should fix.*Sometimes bows Don't appear in the hands of players.*Resetting after losing will result in some players not working correctly.*Ore veins don't work as intended.Planned Features*Interactable to "Pass the time"*Treasure that results in a special upgrade.*Treasure that contains money.*Difficulty Settings.*New Enemy.*New Player model.*Cosmetics.*Early Access Supporter Pack.*Achievements.
