Zeepkist News

When we switched to Rewired Input Manager, our new input framework with the v10 update, there was a compatibility issue between it and Proton that caused the game to freeze when analogue inputs are used (controller & Steam Deck joysticks).

We have received reports that this issue has been fixed in the latest Experimental version of Proton!!

We'll let you know in a future post when Proton releases a stable release with these fixes implemented and Steam has re-verified our Steam Deck compatibility.

The first monthly Zeepkist Super League event has concluded and now it's time to vote for your favourite submissions from the Offroad Rally theme!

Builders were tasked with creating a level based on the Offroad Rally theme. They had to use dirt (brown grass/leaves/rock/wood), sand or mud materials for at least half of the track's racing surface.



Voting is open until Saturday 10th December, 2022 at 18:00 UTC+0
