Here is what's going on right now and what's going to happen moving forward.

How this started

Back in version 5.0.0.6 everything was perfect except that dodging diagonally with the alt-dodge resulted in funky dodging.

In an attempt to fix this I inadvertently broke the fullscreen function. God knows how.

Current Version

The current version has functioning fullscreen and alt-dodge. However, I'm getting reports of big FPS drops. I've been assuming that my updates are working which results in my doing lots of Steam announcements to versions that still have a tanked FPS.

Going Forward

I'm going to be working closely with community members to figure out what's going on. I'll be updating the [beta] branch.

The plan is to keep working on the beta until it achieves silky smooth 60fps.

Last Working Version

You also have the option to rollback to version 5.0.0.6 by applying for the [lastworking] version in the Steam beta options. If you're experiencing FPS issues, please download this version. It may have a bug relating to dodging but it's better than having a tanked FPS.

Worst Case Scenario

Worst case scenario would be I am simply unable to solve this FPS issue that, honestly, I have no idea how it occured. If this happens I will roll back Dead to the last working version and leave it as that. This means updates for Dead would be effectively resided to beta branch.

Best Case Scenario

I crack the case and we move from beta into the default version and then everyone wins! We got 60 FPS, fullscreen functionality and alt-dodge goodness.

Big thanks to everyone helping me solve this. I'm glad I can be clear and honest with you.
