Merry Christmas with v1.08!

Hi everyone,

Today we’ve got patch 1.08 for all of you, which brings a better version of the 1.07 controller fix along with some other improvements for Steam Big Picture users. We've also got Italian localization in-game now :)

Note that we haven’t updated the Linux version, as we ran into some technical problems. We’re working on it and hope to update it within a day or so.

Lastly we want to mention that we are working on a new network solution that we're hoping can enter the testing stage before Christmas holidays.

Here's the changelog for 1.08:

17/12/2013

General
[list]
Removed the Unity launcher window on startup. This makes start-up more controller friendly and also paves the way for some further improvements to the game.
Implemented auto-detect of settings.
Fixed an issue with the Last Man Standing Survival map dropping in performance after a while.
Fixed an issue with the co-op server list appearing when selecting Singleplayer from the main menu.
Fixed an issue with controllers not working on the ending screen of Last Man Standing.

Localization

Italian is now available from the language menu.

Controller Input (v2)

Implemented a (much) better reader for X-input. This should make it easier for the game to recognize non-official Xbox controllers (without compromising non Xbox controllers).
