- **fixed** — crashes on launch for players with Steam Overlay disabled

Hey everyone,

We have deployed a fix that should mean that those of you experiencing crashes upon starting the game, who had their Steam Overlay disabled, can now play as intended.

To ensure it works for you, please remember to [Verify your Game](https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/0C48-FCBD-DA71-93EB) Files in Steam.

Thank you for your patience this morning, afternoon, or evening - wherever you are in the world :)

Tomorrow comes

~ The Sandfall Team
