Patch 1.2.3 - Changelog

ROCKFISH_Andi

We've just released a new patch with more than 40 tweaks and bugfixes, quite a number of them are VR related. HOTAS/Joystick players will be pleased to hear that we've added an option that disables any in-game input smoothing.

Here's the complete list of changes:

Tweaks

• Extended the range of the non-VR screen percentage setting to 10-300
  
• Don't spawn old player wreck after current run was won
  
• Make sure generic repair mission can only be finished after task was received
  
• Made the PlayStation controller icons more legible
  
• HOTAS/Joystick: Added an option to disable smoothing of gamepad input (recommended, set in controls options)
  
• VR (Oculus): Set the mirror mode to be full-screen
  
• VR: Pause Menu can now also be entered via the "change camera" button (default: Y on Gamepad). This is due to SteamVR now opening the Steam Overlay when pressing the Start button.
  
• VR: jumping into a new system is now a lot smoother
  
• VR: disabled any life support / sensor damage post-processing during cutscenes

Thanks!

I may sound stupid, but how to update it via GOG assuming I don't use Galaxy? All I see is the full installer (v.1.2.3 now) and no separate patch. A reason to keep waiting, or simply redownload it all?
