this is gonna be a short but good one. :)

• Fatal Error Crash is fixed. Big, big Thanks to @xeltic and @EpicTurttle for finding the cause
  
• Even more Performance Improvements: Cut amount of polygons game-wide in half and reduced/compressed ALL textures, which cut VRAM requirements in half and reduced the game's filesize to a third of what it was on 0.3.6
  
• various ectoplasm related collision fixes
  
• fixed missing HUD bug (again)
  
• fixed a bug causing the perk that grants a medkit to not count as a medkit when getting killed
  
• fixed ingame chat
  
• fixed an issue causing to get stuck on some UI widgets (pause menu, paper/notes, didnt close)
  
• adjusted bridle street haunted toy collisions (again) so they dont fall through the map
  
• adjusted bridle street objective spawns so they aren't that clumped together

Thanks and have fun playing! See you ingame! :)

Cheers,

thanks again for all the bug reports and suggestions and awesome content on youtube which helped me a lot to understand some bugs and first player experiences. So here's another patch trying to improve things:

• General Performance and Network Optimizations on all maps in hopes to fix the D3D and Fatal Error Crashes
  
• now actually fixed the game breaking objective spawn bug for ectoplasm, cult symbols and banish items
  
• new achievements for sponge and paint roller upgrade progress
  
• implemented some backend stuff trying to fix players losing their levels, as well as trying to restore the old levels players lost
  
• moved the friend-invite telephone in the lobby closer to the computer so its more obvious its interactable
  
• added a friend invite button to the pause menu
  
• you can now use the steam overlay in private lobbies to invite friends and join friends
  
• fixed a bug not showing the correct amount of player names when people leave and join the lobby
  
• fixed a bug when changing characters that forced the player characters head to look straight down instead of into the camera
  
• carrying trashbags often blocked the whole view for clients, so now if the trashbag gets too close to the camera you can see through it
  
• now actually added unlocking equipment upgrade steam achievements (I just forgot)
  
• added player names above characters if close to one another
  
• fixed a game breaking bug that got people stuck in a closet on willow lane
  
• fixed a bug that caused the fully upgraded Swift Savior Perk to increase medkit revive time by 10.000% instead of 100% (lol)
  
• fixed a bug that caused banish items on bridle street to sometimes fall through the floor
  
• fixed a bug causing players to sometimes lose their HUD when skipping the intro
  
• fixed the 100% cleaned achievements on willow lane and stafford lane
  
• pretty sure there was some more stuff but I forgot because I am sleepy

As always, probably not every fix is gonna stick on the first try and I'll have to look at it again but we can hope for the best :D

Thanks again for your help! I am looking forward to your continued feedback.

Have fun playing and see you ingame! :)
