changedThe latest update contains very important improvements that will improve your gameplay experience by fixing some very crucial bugs.
changedOne of the most annoying bugs was that once you minimized or left focus on the game during fullscreen, the game would just hang infinitely, so you've had to restart the game. This is no more. I changed fullscreen mode to "windowed fullscreen". Not only does it launch faster now, it also fixes that said annoying bug. Now you can just minimize or leave game focus during gameplay whenever you want. No hangs or crashes anymore.
fixedAlso keyboard input was fixed! Now you can enter text content to input elements as well as in the console again! This bug was particularily annoying and happend after the transition to DirectInput. But now the transition is fully done and the annoying key input bugs are gone!
fixedIt's also crucial noting that - if you are using Windows 11 with the latest updates - it can happen that you can't see any bullets (regardless of local player or bot players). The issue is simply fixed by setting compatibility mode to Windows 8. You can either do that via the file properties or just by running the win8compat.bat.
changedWindowed fullscreen: No more crashes when switching out from fullscreen
fixedFixed keyboard input for text input elements and console
