Thank you so much for the bug reports since the last update! The in-game feedback form sends us a ton of info along with your reports and it really helps us squash these bugs more quickly. Weve released a few patches with many fixes since then, including the top-reported issues with saved games and multiplayer, so here are all the patch notes in one place.

You can also report bugs and see patch notes as soon as updates are released over on the CHKN Discord.

Happy Friday!
