CRYENGINE 5.6 was a huge release for us, and when shipping build of this size, inevitably, certain issues and bugs might only appear when the engine is in your hands. This hotfix addresses more issues, but please keep your feedback and suggestions coming on the dedicated forum feedback thread for future updates. If you find a bug in the engine, please report it directly on GitHub, which helps us to process the issue quickly and efficiently. 

As ever, stay tuned for updates on the forum, or via Facebook and Twitter and don’t forget to join the community and our CRYENGINE development team over on our official CRYENGINE Discord channel.
