- XR VR 4.30 Hotfix 2 Released - 6 December 2017
• Improved input mapping options (NOTE: some input profiles, especially for joysticks, may need to be reset). • Replaced gamepad controls menu with auto targeting menu. • Fixed NPC warehouses not trading at average price (for real this time). • Fixed moving the mouse not activating mouse mode reliably at high framerates. • Fixed inconsistency with "target closest object" behaviour. • Fixed case where the 3D (mouse) pointer would not be displayed. • Fixed causes of some rare crashes. Important Notice: Please be aware that this patch contains some input handling changes which might invalidate your current profile. We believe this only applies to customized joystick profiles. We suggest you review your profile and adjust it if required. You can also load one of the default profiles and make adjustments as needed based on these.
