I am reading reports on the Steam forums that the game has been updated in the Epic Games Launcher, but not on Steam. You can check the game version in the upper right corner of the options menu, which says version 1.0.0.0 in my Steam game, but may have been updated to 1.0.1.0 in the Epic Games Launcher.
I wonder if the game-breaking crashing bug that I am affected by is resolved in the other version? It would be good for those people, I guess, but the situation is a bit difficult to get to terms with as a huge fan who pre-ordered the Gold edition months ago and chose to stick with the Steam version.
