This client update is compatible with 0.2.8 servers.

OPTIONS

Due to a restructure of how the game manages its options, all options and settings have been reset.

The following files have been deprecated, and are no longer written to nor loaded:

• LocalSettings.ini
• Options.t2

New files are now generated and used instead:

• Options.Local.ini
• Options.Synced.ini
• Options.Player1.ini
• Options.Player2.ini
• Options.Player3.ini
• Options.Player4.ini

Saved games, achievement progression, and command-line arguments remain intact. Benefits from this refactor:

• All options are now readable and editable in plaintext, rather than obscured in binary format.
• Ensures only gameplay-related options are synced to Steam Cloud; other options are stored locally.
• Paves the way for the upcoming Keyboard Co-op mode.
• Should be helpful with the upcoming Steam Input integration.

OTHER FIXES & IMPROVEMENTS

macOS:

• Apple Metal is now the default graphics API, rather than OpenGL.
• Fixed an issue where the game would not start on Macs with the M1 Apple Silicon chip.

Menus:

• Fixed an issue during Couch Co-op when trying to manage a keyboard player's Weapon Shortcuts.

Online Co-op:

• Fixed a disconnection error if a remote player interacted with a door or treasure chest while the local player was still loading.
• Fixed an error that could occur after retrieving a saved game from a server.
• Improved disconnection logging.

Steam:

• If Steam Cloud times out at startup, a prompt to quit the game and restart Steam is now displayed, rather than stalling.
• Fixed an audio/frame stutter issue when unhooking from Steam when exiting the game.

Weapon Selector:

• Fixed an index error with the Grid layout.

Discord:

• Improved handling if the Discord Rich Presence module failed to initialize.
