Thumper News

The latest update fixes a startup crash caused by certain ASIO audio drivers.

A few small fixes are in the latest update:

• Fixed case where game will run in slow motion in Oculus VR mode
  
• Windows 10 exe is only auto-launched when using Windows 10 build 15063 or later. This avoids potential compatibility issues with older Windows 10 releases.
  
• Re-deprecated Razor Chroma support. If it was working for you and you want to keep using it, you can add "-chroma" to your launch options (Library > Thumper > Properties > GENERAL > SET LAUNCH OPTIONS...)
  

Of course our "final" update has to be followed by a "final" hotfix!

• Limit update rate of Xbox One controller vibration in Windows 10 exe to 30Hz to fix trigger vibration issues
  
• Allow alternate key for menu “select” to be remapped on keyboard controls screen
  
• Fixed issue with some keys not working when mapped to gameplay actions
  
• Fixed minor input issues on keyboard controls screen
  
• Prevent boss bonus thumps from unlocking shields when pounded. This prevents bugs that happen when a shield is prematurely unlocked before a boss phrase begins (thanks Hannes!).
  
• Fixed minor issues with DualShock 4 controller in Windows 10 exe
  
• Disable vibration on previous controller when hot swapping to a new controller
  

This should address all known issues we plan to fix. Of course, we'll still be looking out for any new major issues.

Our latest update includes many small usability improvements and fixes.

We're not planning further updates at this time, but we'll respond to any new major issues. A special thanks to all the players who've helped us find and fix everything!

• Added controller/keyboard hot swapping support
  
• Improved button/key remapping on controls screen
  
• Added stereo vibration effects for Oculus Touch (Oculus VR Mode)
  
• Removed the three “Win10” launch options. Windows 10 is now detected by the default executable and the Windows 10 compatible executable is automatically launched. If you want to use the Windows 7/8 exe on Windows 10, use the "-force_win8" launch option.
  
• Added automatic pause when active controller is disconnected
  
• Added automatic pause when SteamVR dashboard is displayed (SteamVR Mode)
  
• Added automatic pause when Oculus system menu is displayed (Oculus VR Mode)

• Fixed occasional extra height jumps/flight (thanks again Austin!)
  
• Fixed checkpoint restart bug that can happen right after checkpoint is passed (thanks tuftyfrog!)
  
• Fixed text overlapping on VR options screen in some languages
  
• Reduced aliasing on keyboard helpbar icons in VR

A few more minor fixes and usability improvements are coming soon.
