  I didn’t know I was playing an “unstable” version lmao

  It never crashed, and I don’t remember picking a version when downloading from steam

  Now I kind of want to download it again to see if there’s any big changes from when I played last

    Stable vs unstable just means if there are changes happening or if it’s a static version. It doesn’t mean unstable as in wobbly or about to fall over. It’s a poor choice of a term, but that’s what developers use now.

    I mean, you had to opt into the “unstable” version to be able to play it on steam, where it then had [unstable] written next to it.

    Unless you pirated it, in which case, fair enough.

    Unstable just means bugs/unfinished content more than the actual stability of the program. When 42 first entered playable unstable release, the new ragdoll physics would absolutely destroy my FPS because every now and then, a body would spaghettifi and trip the fuck out.
