Sector's Edge recently got a new update that fixed tons of bugs and added some new features.
Players can finally invite other players using Discord’s invite system, which is pretty convenient. This reduces the amount of time taken to invite other players. But to accept an invite, players must have to run the game at least once with Discord enabled for the client to recognize it.
Additionally, developers have included tons of requested features by the community including being able to Alt+F4 to close the game and canceling the jump animation by sliding.
