Looking for Security Company Names!

Inkjet — Wed, 12 Aug 2020 20:57:51 +0000

Hey there Respondrs! We're looking for investors in a new Security Company!
What's the perk? You get to name it!

This company will provide security cameras, keycard door locks, and more security solutions.

Give us your best Security Company names and we'll pick our favourite to include in Embr!

1.12 Hotfix:

Inkjet — Wed, 22 Jul 2020 18:53:49 +0000

1.12 Hotfix:
- Efforts towards fixing crashes + graphical issues in DX11.
- Made DX11 the default launch option. This should help mitigate input delay that a number of players experienced. If you run into any issues with DX11 or prefer Vulkan, please select Vulkan at game start.

1.12 Hotfix:
- 努力解决DX11中的崩溃和显示问题。
- 将DX11设为默认启动选项。这应该可以解决输入滞后问题。如果您在用DX11时遇到任何问题，或比较喜欢Vulkan，请在游戏开始时选择Vulkan。
