Tightly packed into this release are some of the most requested features and quality of life overhauls. We’ve spent time upgrading our controller support - a huge ask from the community, reworked playlists to the point it’s launching as v2.0, included accessibility options, all while squashing another metric ton of bugs including a pesky log in issue!
Let’s dive in

[h3]Enhanced Controller Support[/h3]



One of the biggest feature requests from the controller community has been enhanced support. This patch brings a complete overhaul for our players which now includes full cursor UI navigation and interaction for controller users. We've also made some quality of life improvements to help make modifying key bindings for controllers more user-friendly and to handle controller connectivity interruptions.

[h3]Playlist V2.0[/h3]



Playlists have been revamped with a new UI along with fixing some on-going functionality issues and overall bringing a hugely improved experience.

[h3]Target Kill Latency Reduction[/h3]



We've reduced the latency when a target is both killed and spawns resulting in smoother gameplay - ultimately meaning the gameplay experience will be more fluid for everyone.

[h3]Target Colorblind options[/h3]



As we strive to improve our accessibility, we’ve implemented colorblind-friendly target colors including Tritanopia, Deuteranopioa & Protanopia to make it easier for those who need it to distinguish the target differences.

To find the options, go to settings, game, and they are included in the list of target color options.

If there are any other accessibility options you wanted to see included, make sure to reach out to us on Discord or Twitter.

[h3]Fixed - User Login / Session Expired[/h3]



A bug fix that needs featuring! We’ve been working hard to improve the stability and reliability of our login systems, fixing a long-standing issue that would cause players to get logged out or see the session expired dialogue. We know you’ve been waiting for this one...
