Original Post, Patch B200117


Happy new decade! :) We just released a new patch for Lite Campaign V3.7 that addresses an assortment of bugs and adds a few pieces of content. You can find the patch log below. At this point we're on track for the first LCV4.0 release coming into open beta in early February.

Note for AMD GPU users: The recent driver incompatibility issues with versions 19.12.2, 19.12.3, and 20.1.1 have been resolved with version 20.1.2, update to the latest optional drivers and any startup issues linked to that should disappear.
