Todays hotfix consists of more fixes to achievements as well as fixes for VR. If you play in VR and are having issues with the controls, menus, etc; Please reach out and contact us through our website, email, Discord, or fill out the Early Access Survey with as much detail as possible. WMR COMPATIBILITY: We understand that users who use WMR compatible headsets may be experiencing issues with launching. Windows Mixed Reality has been considered deprecated by Microsoft and will be discontinued by 2026. We recommend upgrading your headset by then. However, we are still investigating this issue because other WMR games still work at this time.
