Just a little update to get you going for the weekend! Thanks for the bug reports, folks!

• Fixed the mesh for anchor points being invisible.
  
• Fixed launching cannons shooting the player off in various weird directions because they were hardsetting the rotation of the player.
  
• Fix for a "Continue game" function being called after continuing a suspended run, causing the player's items to be reset.
  
• Hid the expedition flags in two levels in the instances they should not be seen.
  
• Made it less likely to spawn on top of or very close to a pit in Zone 3.
  
• Fix for spamming the pause menu sometimes making the players invisible.
  
• Mysterious asset compression stuff.

Hello everyone! Today we have a big version increase from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1, AMAZING, I know. This is because we're preparing for another switch patch which benefits from splitting up the updates in big chunky numbers. Anyway! Some fun fixes and even new features for today!

• Added Online Leaderboards for the Daily Mountain challenge!
  
• To help you with the daily mountain you now get two random Spirit Powers to help you!
  
• Fixed the player's progress sometimes not being correctly loaded into the current player when continuing a suspended run.
  
• Fixed a bug where jumping while rolling in a ball on the ground would shoot you in strange directions.
  
• Fixed a bug where grabbing physics objects with two hands and then releasing in a pattern would allow you to fly all over the map with them.
  
• Fixes for the altimeter sometimes not showing what you'd expect.
  
• Fixes for the incorrect time being shown for runs on the Daily Mountain.
  
• Extra checks the finish flag for the Daily Mountain always spawns.
  
• Fixes for the procedural music on routes sometimes getting stuck.
  
• Made walljumps slightly more intuitive.
  
• Removed the invisible wall in Starwatching.
  
• Tweaked the model for the throwable rope. Now no longer looks like it can be picked up after throwing.
  
• Made the CatOwner questline more likely to appear.
  
• Fix for interior players sometimes behaving oddly when continuing from a suspended run.
  
• Changed naming convention for savefile backups.
  
• Fix for unintuitive behaviour on the Spirit Totem menu.
  
• Fix for floating grabby creature being able to pull the player and objects inside geometry.

Hope to see you all on the leaderboards!

Mostly just a little hotfix for yesterday's big patch!

• Made the ejection checking a little bit less zealous. This was causing some players to jump at unexpected times when the system thought they were completely overlapping the wall.
  
• Cosmetics unlocked from expeditions are now automatically granted whenever a save file is loaded. They are also set to unlocked more rigidly.
  
• The amount of usable items you keep when starting a new run is now capped. (Max of 3 per item type)
  
• Made the teleporter a item a lot more fun. Can now go through walls and has a big indicator to show where you will appear again.
  
• Spikes placed in lines are less likely to extend much farther than they were intended to.

Hello everyone! I was off to a games festival for a couple of days, it really refreshed my batteries! So here are more fixes for the bugs submitted by players like YOU.

• Can now suspend your game from any base camp. Just select Go to Main Menu from either New Tully or a base camp on the mountain!
  
• Fix for a bug that would sometimes not save your gems and items when you suspended your game.
  
• Added a new character to every base camp that will allow you to preview which story characters are currently on the mountain. This costs a small fee and will make a certain tough achievement more easy to get.
  
• Made saving behaviour more consistent.
  
• Adjusted spawn positions for a bunch of chunks to make it less likely players spawn in weird positions at the beginning of a route.
  
• Reduced faint timer of Pulse Crystals in Zone 4.
  
• New algorithm for finding a way out when the player gets stuck inside geometry, making it much less likely it could be used to skip large sections of the map.
  
• Fixed a bug that made it impossible to retry the Balloon Festival Mission.
  
• Fixed a bug that would cause a softlock when pressing the Steam Deck button on the bulletin board.
  
• Unlocked character features are no longer all marked as NEW when restarting the game.
  
• Made the hand magnetism work independent of framerate, which would cause weird issues of people flying past ropes/ladders/treebranches on higher framerates.
  
• Made meteorite spawning in Zone 4 more fair.
  
• When you are playing Surmount on Steam, it will show on your friends list in which Zone you are!
  
• Various text fixes.

Not a lot of bullet points today, because we're tackling some deep under the hood Unity stuff.

• Fixed a bug that would cause the loading times to increase slightly with every retry, freezing the game if players retried enough.
  
• Addressed a Unity physics bug that would cause so many events it would overwhelm the system and bring down the frames per seconds to single digits. Put catches for this type of behaviour in place and added a watchdog function that will reload a level if it ever becomes too severe to play the game.
  
• Fixed Zone 3 only picking one of the possible templates when building a level.
  
• Added missing flags for missions to play in time trial mode.

Hello everyone! Thank you all for the bug reports! We were able to squash some major ones in this update!

• Parachute opens automatically and has more uses.
  
• You keep usable items when choosing to continue after a death or retrying an expedition. Wearable equipment is still lost upon death. (Testing this out to see if it would be a good change!)
  
• Fix for players inadvertently teleporting back to origin when trying to get unstuck from geometry.
  
• Disallow for the player to get temperature effects while they are in an UI screen.
  
• Fix for bug which would cause the previous scene to still be loaded when starting a quest from inside a building.
  
• Daily Mountain now runs on the same savefile as your main progression, to avoid possible overwriting of unlocks. (Such as cosmetics from the gachapon machine and quests)
  
• Redesigned Zone 4 routing, so it's less likely people become lost.
  
• Fixed people having a timer enabled when retrying the first route of Zone 4. (Which would mess with some other things as well)
  
• Tweaks in Zone 1 Routing to avoid people getting stuck.
  
• Fixed bug blocking access to Missing Cat Expedition.
  
• More easy access to dialogue in Olimark questline.
  
• Made certain rare chunks more likely to appear.
  
• Improved force of Wind Zones
  
• Fixed selection issue on Game Over Screen
  
• Fixed the player being able to go out of bounds in certain expeditions.
  
• Fixed some grammar issues and typos.

Hey all! Come and get your daily set of patches and bugfixes!

• Fixed a big issue where some people would get stuck on wait times in dialogue if their system's locale didn't recognize '.' as a valid decimal point.
  
• Reworked the rope winching between co-op players a bit. The bottom player can now hold jump to shorten the rope!
  
• Fixed the invisible options menu for real this time.
  
• Fixed bug where you wouldn't get the correct starting items upon restarting a mission.
  
• Fixed an issue where the players wouldn't get their totem slots from Mr. Mountain.
  
• Fixed an issue where some people got stuck on the dialogue in one of the ending cutscenes.
  
• Reworked the detection for the player getting stuck in rocks. Made it so that it will try to get the player out a couple of times before reloading the entire scene.
  
• Disabled being able to open the pause menu on the boot screen.

Some more changes to address bugs reported by you lovely people!

• Changed player start position for the race against the bird in Zone 1.
  
• Re-balanced meteor rain in Zone 4.
  
• Rewrote the way delays work dialogue again to hopefully fix the bug with people getting stuck in cutscenes.
  
• Made sure that Balloon Festival's expedition is added to the bulletin board.
  
• Made more functions not dependent on your system's locale. This fixed players not being able to load into the bus intro scene on PC's with the system language set to Turkish.
  
• Made it much less likely to get stuck in a loop of teleporting the player to fix a Unity physics bug.
  
• All players faint in the intro with the demon.
  
• Hopefully fixed the options menu sometimes not appearing.
  
• Fixed an issue where the framerate was no longer capped correctly after setting quality setting to Highest.

• Fixed an issue where players would get stuck during delays in NPC cutscenes.
  
• Fixed an issue where the pause menu would be invisible.
  
• Fixed the control bindings not being saved.
  
• Made it so that the internal render scale is set to 1X for the Highest quality mode. (To avoid Moiré patterns in dithering)
  
• Fixed wrong time display for runs on the daily mountain.
  
• Fixed occurrences where found equipment items couldn't be equipped.
  
• Adjusted difficulty for a mission in Zone 2.
