##### Updates

-  Prevent crash on game boot due to corrupt or missing files - game will now tell you that there are bad files and ask you to verify installation

-  Volumetric fog in Realm Between Realms and during dream sequences will now appear properly on NVIDIA 10xx, 20xx, and 30xx cards

-  DualSense controllers will now default to rumble backup when connected wirelessly as haptics are only available with wired connections

-  Achievements will now retroactively unlock when loading save games

**Please note**: If you reload your save and your missing Achievements do not pop, this is likely due to something causing the Steam API to fail via a temporary block such as a firewall, internet disabled, etc. Please double-check possible blockers if this issue persists after reloading.
