its called "Demo" in the store but sure.

the game folder on my pc is 5.55 Gigabytes.

it has a 6 * (not 9) gig update

the demo. an update of the DEMO, no patch notes, bigger than the game itself

[Mr. Gaiety]

I prefer this over them releasing a half-baked early access game.

[Kiipo]

they took Co-op away it seems

[Kiipo]

but they added a new hub system and the games a bit smoother it seems

Co-op is 'right there' in the main menu now.

Think there's some new augments too - I just saw Elemental and Hip-fire for the first time.

[Allensham]

There are new augments, new items, and a new layout of the lobby. Co-op initiation moved from the in-game lobby to the main menu, and overall, I experienced far fewer bugs. Robot companions are really cool. They're really helpful on solo play as they take aggro. Just make sure to go into rooms, and they are with you before you start combat (I got to the boss and left my robots behind in the previous room!).

[Mr. Gaiety]

Overall- this update seems pretty good. Its just weird how there are no patch notes about it.

Boss combat starts immediately. Do not think you can bring the bots in, cause they were left behind for me too.

[Servellion]

I've had multiple crashes of the game now.

The companions cause this for me in MP. I've successfully cleared most of the game several times tonight, but almost without fail if someone takes the buddy bots my co-op partners will crash. I as the host have not dropped once, but we've soft-locked MP sessions like 4 times tonight doing this. No problems with using other perks.

Hey guys, good questions! We mostly monitor Discord as a heads up versus the forum - patch notes should be up later today on Steam (we sometimes wait before posting notes to make sure the build is clean before notifying players and having everyone jump in).

Pasting notes below for reference:
