While you’ve been battling for arcade High Scores and bragging rights, we’ve been busy gathering additional feedback and improving the game - and now we have another update for you all! This time around, we focused primarily on controls, but also improved a few other aspects of the game. Thank you all for the incredible feedback and continued reviews! In this today’s Atari Vault 1.0.2 update you will find the following: Improvements Updated the game to use our own native controller code that supports XInput controllers (such as Xbox 360, Logitech F310, etc.) instead of Unity’s controller code. This will provide finer management of controller interactions between the game and Windows. It also resolves a number of bugs. Note: Should you want to use the former Unity-based controller system simply Right-Click on Atari Vault in your Steam Library. Then Select Properties > General > Set Launch Options and enter “-use-unity-controls” in the box and Press Ok. Rendering of vector games is cleaner, and a new setting called “Bright” has been added. Improved the scanline effect (most noticeable on 4K desktops) Lunar Lander, Race, and Sprint 2 controls have been improved (including the ability to fine-tune thrust in Lunar Lander when it’s assigned to a trigger) Added the “Flicker: Authentic/Filtered” option to Atari 2600 games (under Options > Game) Added the “Controls: Normal/Inverted” option to Tempest (under Options > Improved game controller remap, and ESC can now cancel controller button assignment Minor improvements to the UI Bug Fixes Fixed the “runaway” menu interaction users were experiencing on Windows 10 Fixed potential audio lag that could occur in Atari 2600 games on some systems Fixed Steam and Generic Game Controllers not being able to used in the game Race Be sure to continue to check out our Steam Community and Social Pages for news of contests and other events being run by our community team! Who will be crowned champion next!? And a brief reminder - If you reviewed Atari Vault before the last batch of updates, please consider updating your review taking into account the latest tweaks and improvements.
