v1.3.4 – Hot Fixes and Improvements!

Dear Stormworkers,

What an incredibly exciting week so far! We are absolutely blown away by the awesome player creations being shared in the #vehicle-showcase on the Discord and in the Steam workshop! It is amazing to see players having fun with the new parts!

The Search & Destroy weapons DLC has been overwhelmingly successful, with thousands of players purchasing within minutes of launch, immediately entering the global top sellers chart on Steam, thousands attending the live stream launch party, and a new record for concurrent players in game!

We have been working hard to resolve any new issues with this update, and have been releasing daily patches as we make improvements. See below for the full patch notes.

For players who are struggling to get weapons to fire, the answer is to start a new game – weapons are not turned on in saves created before the update!

Our focus has moved on from this update to quality issues and bug fixes, but we have been reading all your feedback and are considering many of the requests for new weapons ideas.

Our update schedule continues. Expect hot fixes to continue next week, and Friday updates alternating between feature updates one week, and bug fix focused updates the next.

We look forward to reading more feedback, playing with your workshop creations, and maybe even joining players for a little multiplayer! Let us know your thoughts in the comments!

Much love <3,

The Stormworks Developers
