- Freeze on loading screen issue solved - 15 October 2016
Along with fixing the loading issue we've made some minor improvements. The pause menu is now updated with a few more settings screens, and the same settings menu is now used in the Substation as well. Gamepad control map is now shown in the menu, however we are still figuring out how to map all the gamepads the same way, so bear with us as we make those changes. Some buttons may not be mapped exactly how the picture shows just yet. Supported controllers include Xbox One, Xbox 360 and Logitech F-310, and of course keyboard and mouse. Added intelligent control sensing when switching from keyboard and mouse to gamepad (no more mouse cursor on the screen when using gamepad) Fixed Vertical look speed issue in Substation. Fixed look sensitivity not working in Substation.
