Beta Hotfix #3 is here!

Ahoy, Seafarers!

The crew is back with Hotfix #3, now available for testing on the Beta Branch! This latest update continues our efforts to address community-reported issues and fine-tune your gaming experience on the seas.

We’d love for you to give this build a try before it sets sail for all players on the Default Branch.
