Winter Update Pre-Release
Hi everyone!
Since we accidentally released the Supporter Pack already (it was scheduled for the 19th and we can’t revert it unfortunately), we had to push a major part of our next big update a few days before schedule, which enables the supporter pack but also much more. There will probably be some hot-fixes during the next days, so let us know any issues you encounter!
We push a more detailed annoucement on the 19th :)
Should you mouse not move as expected or a controller is not recognized anymore, please add "++ --noSDL" to your launch options. You can edit your lauch options by right clicking on the game in your library, then clicking on "Properties..." and adding it to the field at the bottom of the "General" tab.
