Suit for Hire News

Hey everyone, another small patch heading your way (if you're not a controller player, this probably won't matter much for you):

• Controller navigation fixed in settings menu
  
• Reduced specular intensity in Intro levels and Asphalt material
  
• FIXED: "Show crosshair option" affects the death menu’s cursor making it disappear
  

Thanks a lot for the feedback and bug reports!

Hey everyone,

Apologies for the one-fix hotfix patch (probably a large download so I apologize for that), it was brought to my attention that controllers couldn't navigate in the Main Menu which was a pretty critical issue.

Controllers should now work properly in the Main menu, allowing you to move the thumbstick left/right.

Cheers, the next patch will be a more substantial one, this was just a big enough issue to warrant getting it out ASAP.

Hope you're enjoying the new 1.0 update!
