Patch 16: mouse-and-keyboard diagonal movement was faster
The same Steam patch fixes diagonal movement running faster than normal with mouse and keyboard. It addresses that directional speed discrepancy; it does not describe a general movement-speed upgrade for every input device. [1]
Patch 16: changing window focus disabled inputs
Patch 16 fixes certain inputs becoming disabled after clicking out of the game or otherwise changing window focus. The ship’s lock-on function is the developer’s example. This patch announcement explicitly describes the release as available on Steam. Steam availability is explicit in the announcement. [1]
Patch 16: an Echoes of the Eye peephole softlock
Patch 16 fixes a peephole-related softlock in Echoes of the Eye. The release note does not supply a separate manual escape sequence, so retain the DLC and peephole scope when comparing the fix with a stuck-state report. [1]
Patch 14: confirm gamma calibration with E or Enter
Patch 14 documents mouse input not working on the new Gamma Calibration screen. Its keyboard workaround is E or Enter to confirm the selection. This is the workaround documented for that screen, rather than a global recommendation to reset input settings. [2]
Documented steps
- Press E or Enter to confirm the gamma calibration selection if the mouse does not work there. [2]
