Hi all,
Update 1.17 has a few adjustments in store:
- there is a second high score list for players who play for the first time and finish in a "normal" time. So they should not get drowned in the mass of speedrunners. Those can continue to battle for rankings in the old list. I know, would have been nice to have this from the start but some things seem obvious only in hindsight.
- the new hotkey F10 can be used anytime now to deactivate the automatic controller detection. There were some cases where broken controllers, flight sticks/HOTAS, or 3D mice were sending input that the game recognized as a controller. So if your mouse cursor disappears in the menu or you are running in circles in the game, just press F10 and see if that helps.
- the help system ist more robust now so you should not receive hints for puzzles that you already solved
- in the main menu there is a new button above the version number showing some (very useful) statistics. To be honest, I just wanted to try out the statistics system of Steam :D so right now you can only see how many games were played or finished by you or all players but maybe it will see some additions later like traveled distance, thrown objects, etc. What would you like to see there?
- movement in the multiplayer mode should now be more smooth due to a higher update rate
- the clock is synced to all clients in multiplayer mode so all players will have the same time at the end no matter when they joined the game. The mysterious 0 seconds high score should be a matter of the past now (at least coming from that glitch, I am sure you will be creative to find other ways :)
Have fun!
