This version of Forager has become really hard to patch because the code is old and obsolote. I am working on the NEW Forager which uses an entirely new codebase, so everytime I go back to this version I need to see where I left off and HOW exactly things worked... it's just a mess. This is why updates are slow on the Forager demo.
I think it would be in everyone's best interests if I hurry up and get a new working test version with the new Forager (Steam version). We are currently waiting on Valve to approve some last minute info on us and then we will be able to just put the game there and send keys to people much more easily. That way the game gets updated much more as well.
I wanted to do a hotfix this weekend but I just haven't had the time unfortunately :(
Maybe next weekend? No promises!
Remember you can always roll back to playing Alpha 4! I get the feeling that version was less buggy overall
