Patch Notes:

- Controller support (rebindable using SteamInput)
- Steam Workshop support for mods
Fixes
- A bunch of defibrillator fixes, for example not being able to speak after being rezzed
- Fixes related to the extraction failing when you try to get your video
- Expanded shadow settings allow for higher-quality shadows
- Made tooltips correctly display rebindable keys
- Made select items 1-3 rebindable
- Matchmaking now prioritises lower ping matches
Why mod support?
When we launched CW there were immediately a bunch of really cool mods being made, so we're super happy to make it possible for those mods to be on the Steam workshop!
The CW team is small and doesn’t have enough capacity for continuous updates alongside their other work, so having mod support is a great way to empower the community to create cool new stuff! We had hoped to have this up and running earlier but it took a little longer than expected.
If you are a modder, here is the current documentation for creating and uploading mods: https://github.com/landfallgames/ExampleCWPlugin
There’s also an unofficial modding Discord you can join to find out more about Content Warning mods.
We can’t wait to see what kind of mods you all create!
Re the video extraction issues:
In the last couple of patches we, with your help, solved several issues that led to videos failing to extract. We want to thank everyone who sent in logs and other information to help us fix as many of these bugs as possible.
There are sadly a million things that can lead to extraction issues for the videos, some of which we have no control over on our end (like one team-mate having a weird file structure on their computer) but we have done our best to fix the most common ones. If you are still having issues after this update please reach out to our support at [email protected] so we can help troubleshoot.
Future updates:
As we spoke about in our last patch, the dev-team is made up of five developers who took some time off from their main project to work on Content Warning.
The other project has been in the works since 2021 together with a bigger team, so it’s important to the devs that they come back to finish it. As we explained in our latest post, they won’t work more on CW during this time. Therefore, we don’t know when or if there will be more Content Warning updates.
That said we’re very happy with what Content Warning has become! It’s been a wild ride for a six-week project that blew all of our expectations out of the water. We’re thankful to you all who have been on this journey down to the old world with us so far, and we can’t wait to see what mod support brings!
Finding games:
If you’re having issues finding other players, we recommend checking out our Discord where you can find others to play with https://discord.gg/contentwarning
Ports:
We’re working with a porting studio to get the game onto other platforms, so we hope to have more news about that next year. Porting also means we will add achievements for PC!
