Wander gets big update – one step closer to being playable

The launch of exploration MMO Wander was a rough one. If you’re in doubt, just check out our 90 minute We Just Played video in which it feels like we’re crashing and burning around every corner. The game had a multitude of issues like slow walking speed, getting stuck everywhere, hopeless means of communication and more. The patch that came out tonight fixes a lot of these things, and we might even record a new video to show off its fixes. Here’s the changelog, we’ll highlight the important ones.

· Fix issue with sprinting while swimming as hira.
· Fix issue with remote players sometimes appearing to fall.
· Change how Rozhda subtitle tutorial is displayed.
