2.7 - PC - Dig Deep

[Craig]

A final testing build for Dig Deep is ready. If all goes well we're looking at a Dig Deep release around Wednesday.

[Craig]

The Dig Deep Update is almost ready. I've needed a few more days than anticipated to finish everything and make it the best Dig Deep experience I can within reasonable time. There are a few new features in the PC Dig Deep game mode that weren't in the Xbox 360 version. I like them a lot, and I hope you all will to. They are the main reason for the few extra days. It should be worth it.

I'm hoping to have everything finished by end of tomorrow (Saturday my time). But I may need Sunday too. In any case, it will be released shortly.

In the new update, don't load existing worlds and then save them. There is a bad bug which may corrupt the save. Fix coming soon.

[Edit]
Was only happening on new worlds. The fix is released. Be sure to get the update. Version 27008.

All modders please note the change to ItemTypeData.xml and ItemTypeClassData.xml

<Class> in ItemTypeData.xml has been changed to <ClassID>
<ItemClass> in ItemTypeClassData.xml has been changed to <ClassID>

If your mods have these fields in their xml files, you'll need to change them and reupload for the mod to continue to work as expected.
