In a recent effort to resolve a bug in the code... another bug snuck in!
The crashes you may have experienced occur in NEW game installs, as an important start-up file has "gone missing in action"! Anyone who had been playing the game previously should be unaffected.
This has now been fixed with a PATCH to the installation on Steam.
If you are experiencing a crash on launch please update your install so you see BoC Demo v 0.101.171 (or higher). This release is now live on Steam, so you should get the update (sometimes you have to log out and back in to force Steam to make an immediate update).
Once again, our apologies for the inadvertent launch problem!
Here's another nice preview of Burden, this time from PCGamesN. They called the game a "unique and brutally realistic WW2 RPG" and added that it "Might be even more brutal and realistic than Company of Heroes".
German Youtuber Strategos Xenophon has a long look at the Burden demo, with (translated) comments like "A really fantastic game" and "Very Brave, Very Innovative, there was nothing like it before but not a game for everybody."
Thanks Strategos Xenophon for the preview!
If you haven't tried the demo yet you can download it from our Steam store page, and don't forget to wishlist us!
