Hello Fellow Shellheads!
Thank you for all the support you’ve shown us during the launch of this bodacious game on Steam and Epic Games Store for the PC. We have been listening to all the feedback that you’ve taken the time to give us. With that in mind, today, we’re excited to release the first of many updates to start addressing some of the issues you shared with us.
Keyboard and mouse can now be used in Couch Co-op in conjunction with the gamepad. We hope that this will enable more of you to enjoy this game with friends and family. Just press enter on the keyboard to ready up on the player ready screen.
To prevent accidental power selection, there is now a slight delay between the reward screen appearing and being able to select a reward. This should prevent players from dashing when the selection screen appears and accidentally getting the first reward in the list.
A new accessibility option to disable “hold to dash” will help players who find themselves double-dashing when they only intended a single dash. By default, this option will remain enabled (matching the current in-game behavior), but you will be able to disable it to prevent holding the button to continually dash.
We have fixed several online matchmaking issues, these should result in a smoother experience leaving and rejoining matches as well as ensuring you are connected to the most optimal gameserver for reduced ping.
Fixed a number of issues when using a PlayStation controller.
We’ve also improved the range of controllers supported, including the Nimbus+ and generic gamepads, both with and without Steam Input enabled.
Fixed input latency issues for some devices, including players using keyboards set to Simplified Chinese language.
We’ve addressed a heap of UI issues causing text to break onto new lines mid word or overlap with over UI.
We hope that everyone has a radical holiday season! The team has worked incredibly hard to get this update ready before they take a well earned rest to recharge ready to face-off the new year. We’ve got some big news to reveal in January, so watch this space!
Did you know that you can change the difficulty of the game at any time in the pause menu? If you’re struggling a little, try lowering the difficulty until you’ve managed to buy some upgrades and then switch it back.
