- Implemented dash towards move direction as default setting gamepad mode
- Implemented keyboard dash options: aim-direction, move-direction (cardinal), move-direction (cardinal+ordinal)

Patch 12.2282
- implemented toggle option for aim distance in gamepad mode
- fixed crosshair bug in gamepad mode on non 1080p resolutions

Many players asked for it, so here it is. Gamepad support is implemented in V12!




You can now switch between firing your primary weapon in a straight line or with an adjusted angle, so projectiles from the left and right weapon will connect at the crosshair position.


Introduced in V11, exploration mode was now improved in V12. Exploration mode is an alternative gameplay mode that offers a more forgiving experience. You don't lose your equipped items upon death and progress is saved, though you loose non-equipped items and scrap. Exploration mode does not unlock archive entries and the story is deactivated. You can find log files though. If you find the learning curve of the original roguelike mode a little too steep, or if you want a less hardcore experience, this mode is for you. Having an option for a lower difficulty mode was the most requested feature before and after launch, so here it is. This new mode will lower the entry barrier for the game while not touching the core experience.

• New keybinding to fire ACM instantly (instead of holding key to toggle)
  
• Fixed bug where exploration mode would have shown a end-of-content dialog after finishing act 1
  
• Improved prologue instruction texts
  
• More minor improvements
  

- fixed rare direct x audio thread race bug
- if the GPU cannot handle the resource load on startup, the game will now try to instruct windows automatically to use the high performance GPU in case of switchable graphics. Additionally lazy loading setting will be activated. This should resolve the problem in most cases without the user having to adjust settings by themselves.

Thanks to everyone who reported issues!
