Alpha 52 was an update released on May 31st, 2018. It was a light update that contained mostly UI and Interface changes.

Localization

• More and improved Chinese translations added

Big Quests

• Fix for Wrestler’s opponent not informing the player that the fight will begin when they say so, rather than immediately -- I had forgotten to add the dialogue in. This probably caused a bunch of confusion, as the quest will not be completed until the fight officially begins
• Wrestler can no longer challenge people to fights after winning a fair fight on that level

UI / Controls

• Some naming restrictions in Character Creation have been removed. You can now use capital and lower-case letters, numbers, and spaces in any combination up to 32 characters.
• Potential fix for Character Selection and Character Creation menus closing for some players if the player minimized the game and returned
• Fix for Protip text sometimes getting cut off when using Chinese text
• Fix for being able to mouse over objects on the minimap that don’t actually appear on the minimap
• Fix for health bars that appear from holding space bar or the A button on gamepad, appearing over NPCs’ heads in split screen mode in another player’s window, most of the time
• Less frame rate hiccup when opening stats screen at the end of levels
• Fix for online multiplayer client sometimes not seeing NPCs as Hostile or Annoyed at the start of levels when they actually are
• Devlog button will not appear if update returns an error

Graphics

• Fix for green object highlight sometimes remaining on objects past the point where it should have disappeared

Playfield Objects

• If Wrestler is holding an object as multiplayer client and logs out of the game, the object will break instead of disappearing

Sound

• Metallic sound no longer occurs when hitting Boulders and other organic/indestructible objects

Missions

• Fix for Find Bombs missions being un-finishable if Wrestler picked up the bomb’s containing object and threw it into a pit

Home Base

• Fix for Loadout items being the same every time the player returns to the Home Base

Disasters

• Fix for falling bombs not having a light to indicate their location
• War Zone participants no longer drop items

Level Generation

• Fix for levels sometimes getting generated incorrectly if the player was using Twitch mode in online multiplayer
• Fix for level generation sometimes getting stuck at 37% for host in online multiplayer

Artificial Intelligence

• Fix for NPCs in the player’s party not coming to the next level
• Fix for Rioters not becoming Hostile toward online multiplayer clients
• Fix for Clerk not saying dialogue under certain circumstances

Performance

• Bunch of little optimizations

Multiplayer

• If a player misses their chance to choose a trait at the end of a level due to a timeout, they will have the opportunity to select a trait at the end of the next level
• Fix for game screwing up on client side if the game ends before clients have connected but not had a chance to enter a level

Other

• Bunch of work on console versions
• Bunch of boring behind-the-scenes stuff
• Updated Rewired plugin to version 1.1.14.3.U2017

• In Missions Screen slots, space for a second mission reward has been removed, since there are no quests that actually offer this, and no plans for it
• Wrestler is no longer asked to challenge NPCs who get annoyed when the player enters their property, or rioters
• Game is smarter about choosing which health item to quick-use, particularly with the Low Health For All mutator active
• Fix for multiplayer client causing “E_” weapon to drop when using Butterfinger-er
• Potential fix for Jock sometimes not being able to move after crashing into a wall and falling down
• Fix for player being able to regain control of their character at times they weren’t supposed to (such as when charging as a Jock) when returning from main menu
• Fix for instances where the player was able to control their character while on the main menu
