All news Players around this date Read on Steam

This update brings the following changes:

Crouching (introduced in the beginning of the game).
Sphere Magnets are now more stable: They can rest on a magnet with an opposite polarity and they stop when they become too slow.
Add Intel XeSS (1.1) support.
DLSS is updated to SDK 3.1.10.
Add an Unlimited FPS option (to be used with v-sync).
Walking into the air of a Fan is now smoother.
Cell Editor now supports selection "painting" by holding Shift.
Volumes in Cell Editor now support selecting objects while the camera is inside them.
Add a slow walking option to keyboards (holding Left Shift).
It's not possible anymore to jump up to ledges from Sphere Magnets in an edge case.
There's now an input tutorial that explains that the camera can be controlled while holding a button.
Fix light color in Cell 6 that made the button color less visible.
Cell 7 cannot be cheated anymore with an unplanned solution.
Cell 8 now closes off the first part of the cell when the player reaches the second one.
Cell 9 now has a more obvious way of bringing magnets back to their original area.
In Cell 14 there are no more air particles visible at the back of the Fan.
Some Decompositor Matter in Cell 15 has been turned into Force Fields so that misplacing a magnet a bit won't result in it being respawned.
In Cell 17 the Force Fields are now clearly visible from the button.
The first magnet in Cell 21 now has a longer timer, and the visibility of this and the exit door is improved.
Cell 23 cannot be solved anymore by balancing a sphere magnet.
Removed the entry tutorial area of Cell 25 and instead introduced a hint that explains Platform blocking.
Exit door in Cell 26 is now visible from the button.
Cell 31 is now more easily solvable without magnet juggling, lasers are avoidable while walking, and the connection between the Platform and the Fans should have higher visibility.
Patch in the entrances of cells 32, 33 and 34 (where it was possible to walk out of the cell).
Cell 34 now has up/down buttons (instead of left/right) on the platform, and the visibility of the laser at the top is increased.
And dozens of other bug fixes / little changes.
