Upon request, I have dug up the oldest build that I have saved from the early years of Vertigo 2 development. And one from 2020, too, for comparison. Steam blocks links to dropbox (understandable) so you can access them through the links on my official website hereMake sure to back up your save files, as they may be corrupted by these old builds!

- 4/25 Hotfix - 25 April 2025
Hi gamers, here's a hotfix for some common bugs. I've also received a bunch of complaints about the void grappler controls, so I've tried to change the physics to make them a bit more user friendly. If you are experiencing crashes on Quest Link, try turning on the "disable loading screens" options in the graphics settings. There seems to be some incompatibility with SteamVR loading screens and Link. Fixed not starting the DLC with the Annihilator Prototype (I think) Grappling hook no longer disconnects from surface automatically if you reel in all the way Grappling hook now slows you down if you reel in all the way (instead of flinging you) Increased grappling hook fire speed Fixed BAMM not healing, even when not on hard mode Fixed boss select not giving you all necessary items Fixed missing hitboxes on flesh golem legs Fixed softlock if you reload a save or return to the Void Grappler…
