Dear monarchs! As part of our ongoing campaign to resolve issues introduced in the Never Alone Update, we've rolled out a new patch to the beta-branch for Kingdom Two Crowns. Heres whats new in this update:

• Fixed an issue that caused the game to freeze on a black loading screen.
• Fixed an issue that prevented the player from controlling their ruler on Challenge islands.
• Fixed an issue in the campaign that prevented some players from selecting islands when sailing away.
• Fixed an issue that caused the island underbrush to move in front of other game layers.
• Encouraged the samurai to start picking up coins again.
• Had a serious talk with the ninjas, who will no longer attack portals in their free time.
• Improved controller detection.
• General bug fixes.

As ever, please continue to report problems you may find in this beta branch here in the Steam forums. We're particularly interested in hearing how the above fixes are working!
