-
Multiple Updates to the experience on Steam Deck
-
The default windowed resolution on Steam Deck should now be 1280x800
-
Certain display-related settings (zoom scale, HUD scale, UI scale, alt UI font, pixel-perfect, lock HUD scale) are now saved per-resolution.
-
Changed the default game configuration when playing on the Steam Deck to be more optimized.
-
Some elements which previously rendered at zoom scale are now rendered using the HUD scale: Command Crate item selection menu, interactable prices, Teleporter "Stay Alive!" text, and player's overhead objective text.
-
Adds 'chat scale' setting, which defaults to the maximum value on Steam Deck.
-
Allows clicking in both left and right stick simultaneously if the game is detected to be running on Steam Deck or big picture mode to activate ingame chat.
-
Steam Deck will now have the keyboard properly appear upon text field opening.
-
-
New online co-op host lobby option: Player Limit. May be increased up to 32. A warning is displayed in-game when this is set to anything above 4 that it is not properly supported and there may be issues.
-
New online co-op host lobby option: Ban Hidden Survivor. When this option is enabled, players joining the lobby will not be allowed to play as ROBOMANDO. The name / description of this option will change depending on whether the survivor is unlocked, as to avoid spoilers.
-
New Emote System
-
If using mouse control: a radial selection menu will appear allowing the user to select an emote using their mouse cursor. Left click to select, right click to dismiss.
-
If not using mouse control: a selection menu will appear by the player character, allowing the user to use the movement inputs to select an emote.
-
If using keyboard you can press numbers 1 through 4 to quickly access each emote.
-
-
New Pinging System
-
When the user presses the 'Ping' key, an object will be 'pinged' and this will be displayed to other players. If there is no object to highlight, then a location will be 'pinged' instead.
-
When using mouse control: The highlighted object will be whatever object is nearest to the player's mouse position.
-
If not using mouse control: The highlighted object will be the first object considered 'in front' of the player's aiming or facing direction (though certain objects will be more highly prioritized in this process, so it may not always be the exact 'first' object.)
-
Pinging an object will show a message in chat. There is a new option in the options menu to disable this.
-
Items/Equipment may be pinged.
-
Monsters and Interactables may also be pinged and have unique sprites for when they appear in a ping.
-
The chat message when pinged also contains any relevant information such as cost or contents.
-
Attempting to ping a location or object which you had already placed a ping on, will remove that ping rather than creating a new one.
-
Pinging another object will retract any previous ping sent by the same user.
-
This system is disabled in Providence Trials.
-
-
ROBOMANDO now has an unlockable skin from completing the 'Judgement' Providence Trial, like all other Survivors.
-
New Drone: Young Jelly.
-
New Drone: Evolved Young Jelly.
-
New Item: Evolved Nematocyst.
-
New Item: Lost Pickaxe.
-
Damage inflicted by the Voltaic Mitt can now cause weaker enemies to flinch. Enemies climbing on ropes electrified by the Voltaic Mitt will receive reduced movement speed.
-
Several tweaks / additions to the player info screen (TAB button by default):
-
Will now list how many items the player has of a given tier on the right side of their item list. (This only counts white, green, red, and yellow items)
-
Added a more unifying backdrop to each player's info to make it more obvious which info belongs to which player.
-
Fixed incorrect appearance due to alpha blending when displayed with the game 'HUD Scale' and 'Zoom Scale' settings not having the same value.
-
When playing with player numbers above the usual supported limit, if there are more players to display than would fit on the screen, the player info screen will switch to a new 'condensed' view which allows for many more players to be seen at once BUT will not show the individual items of those players.
-
-
Pilot Changes

'Airstrike' can now "ledge cancel" ending animation when used in grounded form.
-
'Airstrike' will now properly use the aerial verison of the ability if the player jumped after executing the skill but before the attack came out.
