Hello Expeditioners,

We hope your journeys towards the Mound have been full of adventure, treasure, and definitely not full of horrifying hallucinations and mind bending creatures.

Since launch, we've had a lot of feedback and the teams are already hard at work on a first patch that will resolve some of the things you've brought up.

Things we're looking into:

Optimisation (FPS & performance)
Inventory Management (coming next patch for keyboard & mouse. Controller support to follow in a later update)
Server Finder Password for playing with friends on different platforms
A preconfig screen letting you choose between the Cinematic or Default camera (this already exists in the settings for the players who may feel a lack of responsiveness or lag, if you want to try it out already).
Other Quality of Life Features and Bug Fixes
Some balancing and configuration tweaks

We'll have a full list of the changes prepped to go live alongside the patch, so stay tuned for more information.

A look at the upcoming config page when starting the Mound: Omen of Cthulhu.

And if you're interested, you can check these updates right now on the Open Beta branch we've set up here on Steam. This will allow you to play the latest version of the patch as it stands right now. It's possible that this version may have some unintended bugs, so if you come across anything, please let us know in the Steam discussions or our developer Discord.

So, how to access the beta branch?
