Issues unresolved
Some sounds are too loud
- Some sounds will be disproportionately loud if the relevant volume sliders are set below 100%, like the explosion sound effect of the Sandy’s Rocket item, or music in some campaign mode cutscenes. This is because they are unaffected by all volume sliders, and will always play with a volume balance intended to match 100% on all sliders. The only mitigation is to leave volume sliders at 100% and lower the volume of the application through others means (e.g. the Windows volume mixer).
Issues fixed
Cannot set profile when starting campaign
- There is no option to choose an input profile when starting a campaign.
| Choose a profile elsewhere first |
|---|
|
Choose an input profile for player 1 in a different game mode before starting the campaign; it will carry over to the campaign mode.
|
Escape key doesn’t work
- After binding Esc in an input profile, even if its bind is removed, it will no longer perform its intended function of pausing while using that input profile, which can cause softlocks.
| Edit the input profile and choose “Restore Default”. |
