0.4.3.0 Changelog (Previous version)

 

Can you please avoid the 'I didn't get the update yet' wave? Give time to the Steam servers, it depends on them now, we already did our part.
Also, usually a Steam restart forces it to seek for new updates.

 

Thank you devs , i'm french and your intention with the Gendarmerie's Sunburst come directly to our hearts .
Merci beaucoup Vive la France Peace and love

 

Its funky that no matter how much effort you put into things, some people cannot be pleased with anything...
