Settings Update 1: FOV, Sensitivity, Motion Blur, and More

Hey Thieves! 

Since launch on Wednesday, we’ve been paying close attention to what you have been saying about Thick as Thieves - Jeff is reading every comment or thread that he can find - and we want to provide updates as soon as possible. We have picked up some of the most common concerns that we could handle quickly, and are releasing them to you right away. It’s time for Update 1! In this update, we’ve added a Field of View slider as well as toggles for motion blur and reducing camera bounce. We converted the mouse and gamepad sensitivities to a slider, for more control over that setting. We also fixed an issue that should improve how the game looks on 4k monitors and large screens, and added an FPS limiter. Give these settings a whirl and let us know what you think!Please note that alongside this update, we’ve improved error handling in the matchmaking system. You may need to restart the game to access online features. We are still working on Update 2, where we plan to address keybinds and other things drawn from your feedback. We’re reading every review and tuning in to Discord, so please keep sharing your thoughts! Expect the next update within 2 weeks, and we will share more details as they develop.
