We noticed that some of you experiencing crashes and high CPU/GPU usage during the play. We have been collecting logs from you and realised that it might be a problem with game engine version that had it's last update on 2017 when we started the production.
Why we did not update it before?
When you start the production you start from the newest version possible. Then you proceed forward and after some time updating the engine might cause many troubles and require fixes and changes all the time. In most cases you finish the production on the version you started it with. During the tests there was no issues that told us that this step should be done. Upgrading the engine at the end of the production might postpone the release and force us to test the game many times before the release - and there were no signs that it is required at all.
But now - when we know that some of you might have troubles with crashes and high CPU/GPU usage we decided to do it. We will update the game engine to the latest possible version. It's a lot of work and a lot of testing for us but still it's worth it - you gave us amazing feedback and we know that you really like the game. In return we are starting the migration process. Hopefully the newest version of the engine will fix all the crashes and CPU/GPU usage issues and won't bring anything unexpected.
So... nothing else to say, we are getting back to work!
Ah... If you did not leave the review yet, please do so - it is very, very important to the small devteam like ours :)
Here comes the 2nd patch. We will continue working on the game untill it's bugless :)
Also we would like to ask your for a little favor. Please leave a review.

Want to become experimental tester?
Every day we are testing new version of the game with most updated patches. We do it to avoid releasing a patch without confirming its ok. If you would like to help us in this process and get access to the newest version before its released - please write "Valariars deputy bird#7804" on Discord, he will introduce you to the hidden channel and grant you a special "Experimental tester" role. (Discord link: https://discord.gg/BjuFWEr )
We are also aware that some of you experience crashes during the play. We are collecting output logs from your reports and investigating the issue. It seem that most of the crashes have different reasons. For now many of them can be fixed by updating the graphic card drivers to the newest version. At the same time we are aware that this is not ultimate fix - if you experience crash - please send us the logfile located here: AppData>LocalLow>Rejected Games>MrPrepper>output_log.txt so we can investigate your case directly.
We read all your reports.
We will work untill the last bug is fixed.
Please use the steam community, our Discord server: https://discord.gg/BjuFWEr or email: info@rejectedgames.pl to report any issues you got with the game.
