Miscreated Patch 52

Miscreated patch #52 has been released on Steam.

Database Update

We needed to make a major update to our game's database to prevent issues such as some of the item duping methods. As a result of the database update, all characters and items in the database have been deleted. All items in vehicles, crates, and tents have also been deleted - all items in the game. All guides, bases, vehicle locations and anything that is not a character or item is not affected by this change. We strive to not delete any data from the database unless absolutely required, but in this case it was required
