UPDATE - 2/4/18
Another couple days, another couple additions & changes! Thanks again to those of you who've written with your experiences - the feedback is invaluable. This patch: - Disables the "Save Photo" feature of the camera. On some portion of machines this would cause incurable lag and crashing. Will reinstate after I've had the chance to test fix on more machines - Flashlight instructional poster added to treehouse - Ocean gleamier, because why not? Stay tuned! There's some big rad things in the pipeline!Read full article on Community Announcements (_donald)Patch NotesOfficial
