Hello everyone,

Thank you all very much for all the effort you have put into reporting any issues you've encountered.

We've been working on fixes for many of these issues to be released over several patches in the coming weeks, and while we are putting the first of these through its paces before we officially release it, you can already give this version a try on Steam.

The beta version of this patch is available on Steam on the branch beta_1.2.116. To access it, open the Properties of Humankind on Steam, go to the Betas tab, and select version Beta_1.2.116 from the dropdown menu. Steam should update your game to the beta version, though if this does not happen immediately, we recommend restarting steam or verifying the Humankind game files.
