I'll admit something. I'm back from a 3-week vacation, first _proper_ one since I started the game in 2017 (I did a few trips before but always worked from a laptop anyway - not this time). Of course in the meanwhile the team was working hard, main focus was a pathfinding refactor that's still ongoing, but also as usual, we prioritized bugfixes. For now, a new BETA version is available as the priority was to stabilize the previous version into the main branch. ##### Steam Reviews: Your Feedback Matters --- We'd really appreciate it if you could take a moment to leave a Steam review. As we're working hard on the next update, fixing bugs, and adding new features, we'd love to hear what you think about Manor Lords. Your feedback, opinions, and support all help us know what to focus on, improve, and add to Manor Lords. Even if it's a few sentences about how you feel about the latest update, it'd be a great help to the team and me. ##### How to Access the Beta --- **Saves:** To avoid any potential issues, it’s recommended that you back up your saved files before switching to a beta version. **Mods:** Please remove any mods.
