The Steam version is already updated. There's just no news regarding it at the store page. Try forcing an update.

Usually quitting the Steam client and launching it again is enough to trigger an update.

Crazy all the people shit talking others who were disappointed with the epilogue when even the devs acknowledge that they didn't put everything they wanted so they could just get the damn thing out.

You mean the game is back to giving contradictory information? Yay.
The issue wasn't the beta-test menu, the issue was when Mallory dumps the MC for wanting an open relationship they never entered into because there's no option to discuss their relationship unless you sleep with her. That's the bug, and it's still there. I've pointed it out to Stoya (who was more than a little insulting until he finally recognized what the issue was), but I doubt it will be fixed unless they do a full overhaul of the game's code.
Trust me, I'm perfectly justified in feeling unimpressed with this game on its own merits. I'm merely speculating why the last few updates have been uninteresting and poorly written compared to the earlier ones - even those I didn't particularly like.
But as for the side girls, they specifically aren't one night stands - the MC can start a relationship with one in a Solo ending. The question is why, having spent the time coding these relationships, the game insists they're all doomed and the MC will never be satisfied with anyone but Jaye or Mal. Yes, this is the devs' game and they are within their rights to insist the MC view the sidegirls the exact same way they themselves do, but I find nothing laudable in such a narrowminded view.
From poking around with URM I'm pretty sure that's not true as of v1.10 if you are on the voluntarily single path (num050==1) . The game checks if num050 is set to 1, then diverts you to Jaye's appearance if num050=1 and Mallory's if num050=9 (which I believe would have been Lisa's abortive path). So even if the code weren't bugged for Lisa's path, I'd still always meet with Jaye because I was Single.
There IS an option that weighs your love points with the two girls to determine which scene you get, but it only triggers from num050=3 (which I think translates to the MC being dumped for cheating) or num050=10 (not sure about this one).
Granted, I do have more love points with Jaye than Mallory in my save but that's because the game didn't give Mallory the 15 point non-romance boost in the hospital because, again, the never expected someone on Mallory's path not to sleep with her in Chapter 5. It's a real mess.
I'm sorry you're feeling so defensive about the update (though I certainly can't blame you). But that doesn't actually dispute any of my points.
"where characters will be returning in Firebreak" . Firebreak better be really good because my interest right now for games set in this same universe is 0. There is no single character that i want to see returning after this last update

Hello guys. I downloaded v1.10 and didn't play it yet. Is Hotfix (v1.10a) the file to fix the last update or should I dowload the hole v1.10a ?

Yes, if you already have 1.10, you just need the hotfix. It just replaces the script file

the hotfix dropped tonight is just a script file replacement, but will another tweak to the mod be needed, since you don't overwrite the original files?

That's the really annoying part of all this.
It would've been one thing if they just flat out didn't have the time to make an ending for Bianca, but they did make one. It was just one where your character chooses to dump her, instead of one where he chooses to be with her. I wasn't expecting an elaborate epilogue with her, just a few renders in a little slideshow-styled ending like you would see at the end of a Fallout game or something. You know?
There were plenty of other bits that could've been cut if they were really hurting for time. We got ten different variations of the MC sitting on a park bench, and twenty-nine renders for a medieval fantasy dream sequence with Amanda. It made sense for Lisa to be a dead end, since they wanted her in their next game, but Lisa still gets a full 180 render scene of her and the MC, while Bianca gets a whole heaping of doodly-squat. Where's the logic there? Shouldn't it be the other way around? Why put the extra effort into the side chick who cannot possibly have a happy ending with the MC instead of the one who could?
The developers could've given us a happy ending with Bianca, but they simply didn't want to.
I think it's more than fair to criticize them for it, especially since their next game has ten love interests. If the developers can't figure out how to throw a bone to Bianca's fans, how can we possibly expect their next game to be anything other than a complete shit-show by the end?

Wait, 10 love interests... Shit, this one only had 2 and the MC was a spinless wimp bent over backwards to please them. I can't imagine the Simp Lord the new one will be.
