[h2]THANK YOU [/h2]

Hot Fix - v0.1.25.b8

  • Fixed an issue where mouse input would disappear.
  • Resolved a bug where certain popups would not close or caused the mouse to disappear.
  • Disabled scooter physics interactions with agents to fix a scooter-related bug.


Note: Unfortunately, we had to temporarily disable poor controller support. Controller support will return in future updates, and it will be much better!

Thank you for your understanding!
