We've resolved an issue in multiplayer where guests were unable to perform certain actions, such as using an axe. We apologize for the inconvenience and will continue to monitor and optimize the gameplay experience for smoother performance.

To apply the update, you will need to restart Dinkum. Steam should update the game automatically, but if no update appears, you can manually check by right-clicking on Dinkum in your Steam library, selecting Installed Files, and clicking Verify Integrity of Game Files.
