There have been several similar patches on the release-1.5 branch since the previous update, in which we detailed the changes in 1.5.1. You can see that update here:

In 1.5.2 through 1.5.4, we addressed issues found in 1.5.1 and continued to improve the Gamepad UI implementation.
Change Log
Here is a summary of changes between version 1.5.1 and 1.5.4
- New version compatibility system which tracks what version of the game each save is using, giving users a warning when they load a save from a different version of Entropy : Zero 2.
- New button in the menu explaining how to switch back to the old UI.
- Most of the UI is now proportional to the Steam Deck screen so that it scales better on higher resolutions.
- The version stamp now appears directly on the menu instead of in the background map. (unless using old UI)
- In the Save/Load Game menus, new saves with Wilson in them will now show tiny Wilson icons in the top left corners of their preview images.
- The Load Game menu now has a button for deleting saves.
- The Load Game menu will no longer crash when there are no saves.
- The Glownome's chest projectiles will now properly appear as blue.
Testing
This time around, we are asking for help in testing this update. The GamepadUI update is a major change to the way people play Entropy : Zero 2, and we really need to stress test it to make sure it's ready for release. With that in mind, if anyone has a chance to play through the game in the release-1.5 update and tell us about their experience, we would greatly appreciate it. We are especially looking for feedback from users with controllers, Steam Deck, or who are on Linux, but we also would appreciate feedback from Windows users with the traditional mouse and keyboard to smoke test the update.
Please feel free to discuss any feedback on release 1.5 here or on the Steam forums:

If you need to use the default menu again, you can currently do so by going into the game's properties and typing "-nogamepadui" in the game's launch options.
Happy testing! We really appreciate your input.
