7/5/2017 'Default' - Input Overhaul Update

Hyper Light Drifter · published 6 Jul 2017, 02:15 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hi everyone,

In response to reports of controller detection issues we implemented a complete overhaul of how the game handles input. This change is now live in the default branch for Windows.

If you experience controller problems after updating, please refer to the following thread: http://steamcommunity.com/app/257850/discussions/0/1456202492167723900/

You can also switch to our older build in the beta branch 'controller_old_noaltdrifter'. Unfortunately you won't be able to play as the Alt Drifter but your controller will work.

Thank you all for your patience while we deal with this issue.

Mac and Linux builds will be arriving after we confirm that our new approach is working properly.

Changelog:

07/02/2017
- Complete overhaul of input detection
- KB+M and controller can be changed on-the-fly without going into the settings menu. The game will use whichever control was detected most recently.
- Button prompts default to Xbox style. If you prefer PS4 prompts, go to Settings + Controls -> Controls and switch to PS4. The game will remember your preference.
- The game will no longer crash when disconnecting controllers.
07/03/2017
- Fixed crash that would occasionally occur on controller rumble
- Fix for strange behavior related to mouse input
- Fix for controller button prompts resetting to Xbox
07/04/2017
- Fix for broken keyboard input
07/05/2017
- The game no longer hangs after the credits finish
- Fixed snapping behavior on joystick input
