[2020] PINNED: Beta Updates

Rather than spam your Steam announcements with minor updates to the beta branch, we decided to share a thread with the details of these updates here.

Beta Hotfix (e1.5.3 - 13/10/20)

• Added missing loading screens for Multiplayer maps.
  
• Fixed a crash that occurred when a save file loaded on village menu and tried to enter the mission in tutorial phase.
  
• Fixed a bug that caused villager parties to go to a castle or town while disbanding.
  
• Fixed a bug that caused some nobles to talk like the main hero's brother.
  
• Fixed the not being able to log in issue which was related to BattlEye.

We will be opening servers for the beta e1.5.5 version tomorrow afternoon. We plan to leave them open over the weekend, or perhaps longer, to give you all time to test the changes to MP and share your feedback.
