So when will it be fully available on pc?

Introduce Shader compilation. Its a joke to make us suffer through Shadercompilation stutter like this. Is this your first time on DX12 ? Expected this to happen and here we are very disappointing :/

This game is the gift that keeps on giving. Thanks for the update! <3

Windows thinks the beta .exe is a virus, and my keyboard an controller wont register any button presses so im stuck at the start game menu. Is this a .0001 alpha or a beta???

[Fappy-さま]

Whats new? Ultrawide minimap still broken and i had to disable steam input to make my controller work, not looking good. :(

By the way, the dualsense controller integration is on PC too? That would be amazing

[Jimbo Slice]

I can't seem to get controllers working. Just to see what the game looks like I wanted to use keyboard but my keyboard bindings dont work either. Can't even get past title screen.

Does this update apply to all version of the PC version? I own DS2 DE via Epic Games and would love it if I got the same update. And hopefully I dont have to start a new save? Hopefully?
