Gamepad support + new Abilities screen beta is now live!


Hi there,

We've been working on some UI features, including better gamepad support, a more robust input manager, and a whole new Abilities screen. That work is now live on the beta branch!

Note: previous saves won't be compatible with this beta.

Please post your bugs here.

Live and drink, friends.

  • Merged all input managers down to one, meaning you no longer have to change settings for gamepad to work.
  • Made keyboard & gamepad input much more robust across the board.
  • We added a new Abilities screen ('a').
    • Added icons for every ability.
    • Added in-depth, dynamic descriptions for many abilities (the rest to come).
    • You can reorder abilities on the Abilities screen and they will also reorder in your hotbar.
  • We made several enhancements to the ability hotbar.
    • Your abilities are now automatically hotkeyed. You can change the hotkeys from the Abilities screen.
    • Added hotkeys for scrolling through your hotbars (default ctrl+1 - ctrl+5).
    • New ability icons also appear on the hotbar.
  • Added the new ability icons to the old UI sidebar. They also now respect the order of abilities on your ability screen.
  • Added a new, highly visible autoexplore danger indicator.
  • Holding down movement keys to move quickly is now safeguarded by the autoexplore danger indicator.
  • Added gamepad button glyphs for Xbox and PlayStation controllers wherever the UI indicates a button bind.
