Steam Patch Notes
Official update history
Update v1.99.3 contains a large internal rewrite of how the game is rendered. This fixes various issues related to game-capture software, including Steam recording (and is the reason this update took a while). If you notice any bugs, please report them in the forum or Discord.
Fixed game recorders capturing only black frames (fixes Steam recording, OBS, Medal, Discord screenshare, etc.)
Fixed the game using integrated graphics in some rare cases, causing low FPS
Linux: Fixed window issues that some Wayland compositors encountered
Linux: Fixed game crash when it cannot be sandboxed properly
Improved frame consistency (FPS should no longer regularly drop 30->29 and 60->59)
Fixed certain sound triggers in old levels not playing correctly (e.g. sound in Rap Battle 3)
Fixed physics crash not allowing level exit under certain circumstances
Fixed Helicopter Guy blade shards remaining after restart on Happy Green Hills
Fixed mouse triggers being clickable under certain circumstances when they shouldn't be
Fixed softlock when network timeout occurs during network call (e.g. when saving a replay)
Editor: Fixed color picker always picking black
Editor: Fixed art vertices not scaling down when being zoomed in
Editor: Fixed various minor UI issues
Share your levels here on Steam or on the Discord!

Reduced input latency
Fixed the game reading non-standard controllers as input devices
