Bug Fixes & System Improvements

• Keypad & Digital Padlock Rework

  • Replaced UI-based input with direct world interaction for improved reliability

  • Fixed issues with inconsistent button input and interaction responsiveness

• Laptop Interface Improvements

  • Reworked UI layout to improve accuracy across different resolutions and display modes

  • Adjusted interface structure to better align mouse input with on-screen elements

• UI Stability Improvements

  • Addressed reports of off-center or inconsistent mouse interactions in certain setups

  • While some issues (such as laptop playback controls being offset in windowed mode or offset buttons in the settings menu on different resolutions) could not be consistently reproduced, underlying UI systems were updated to improve stability across a wider range of configurations

• UI Scaling & DPI Adjustments

  • Standardized UI scaling behavior for more consistent interaction across resolutions

  • For best results, it is recommended to set Windows display scaling (DPI) to 100% or play on Fullscreen mode, continuing testing of these reported issues will be done.

  • Addressed edge cases related to input handling and UI behavior

  • Adding an in-game option to switch between Fullscreen and Windowed modes directly from the settings menu (no need to use Alt+Enter)

• Ongoing Improvements

  • Continued minor bug fixes, polish, and overall stability improvements based on player feedback
