Hi! I'm putting myself in timeout because in my rush to fix Quest 3S controller tracking, I broke controller tracking for everyone else. This hotfix resolves that, so if you tried to play the game in the last 8 hours and it didn't work at all, that's why. I've been working on a very secret feature that won't be ready for a while, and it involves helicopters. I didn't run my normal suite of tests in the rush and failed to notice that a glitched helicopter in the main menu scene was causing the core initialization code to abort early. This meant that instead of failing to detect Quest 3S controllers, it failed to detect any controllers at all. For those keeping track, this is I think the fourth time I've broken the game like this, and I would rank it as the third most embarrassing. Thank you again for your understanding, and for supporting solo developers!
