Issues fixed

Some resolutions crash the game

Darkstar One may crash when using certain resolutions due to bundling an outdated version of iphlpapi.dll.
Instructions

netman.dll not found error

This is caused by DarkStar One shipping with an outdated version of this file.
Instructions

Ship throttle is backwards

If your controller's throttle is detected the wrong way around (e.g. putting it at the full speed position makes the ship stop instead) invert the "Throttle" axis by clicking the red rectangle beside it.
