I'm travelling to see family for the holidays (heja Sverige!), so I'm away from "the lab"… Mac & Linux updates will come shortly after I return in early January.

We did a push yesterday to fix a bug reported by user "stufff". Some users were getting crashes sometimes when Achievements were won. The Achievement seemed to actually get granted (yay) but the game still crashed which is jank.

We also managed to pick up a few other improvements to our game-engine that we made since the last update.

Here's what's in this update:

• Fix occasional crashe upon winning Achievements
• Fix the in-game picture that tells you about the Beamsplitter if you don't have it yet.
• When someone joins the Online game global lobby, now there is an audible sound effect (the volume is controlled by the SFX slider in Settings) this will help you notice when someone else shows up. That was a huge problem when waiting around before… if you just had Hive open in the background, you wouldn't even notice when someone else showed up.
• Now when people join/leave the global lobby, there will be System Messages in the chat box which will announce the person so you can keep track of who is coming & going.
