Recent Updates and a Note from the Developer

Hi everyone,

Over the past few days, Recoil Trainer has received a series of updates focused on controller support, Overlay Mode, the Firing Range, Steam / Workshop related issues, and general UI and usability improvements.

First, I want to sincerely apologize to players who ran into issues while using the app. Recoil Trainer is developed and maintained by a solo developer, and the testing process has not been as strict or complete as it should have been. Some issues, especially those related to different controllers, Steam environments, resolution scaling, and Overlay Mode compatibility, should have been caught earlier. I am sorry for the inconvenience and frustration this may have caused.

Below is a summary of the main recent updates.

Ongoing Support

Thank you to everyone who reported issues, submitted bug reports, left comments, or shared feedback. Many of these fixes were made possible because players took the time to describe what was going wrong.

As a solo developer, my current testing coverage is still not perfect, and this is something I need to keep improving. I will continue to actively support player feedback and bug reports, especially around controller compatibility, Overlay Mode stability, Steam / Workshop related issues, performance, and UI usability.

If you still encounter any problems, please feel free to report them through Steam discussions, reviews, or other feedback channels. I will keep following up and fixing issues as actively as possible.

Thank you again for your patience, understanding, and support.
