• The master volume slider has been split into separate music and sound volume sliders.
  
• The baseline volume of sound effects has been reduced to better match the old balance between music and sound (things shifted due to the music fidelity improvements in 1.8.8).

We've updated INVERSUS to the latest version of our game engine! This is the same tech that will be powering our upcoming game, Never's End.

This update gets INVERSUS back into a state where it is easier to maintain and will help us test the new engine features before Never's End releases, but there are also some small updates to INVERSUS as a result.

• INVERSUS no longer advertises keyboard as a playable device at the title screen when on Steam Deck which should let us finally get full approval for Steam Deck compatibility.

• Audio quality of the music should be slightly improved, but it's probably hard to notice.

• The low amplitude tails of the vibration effects have been trimmed which will improve feel for non-official (or just old) Xbox or PS4 controllers.

One large change is that we no longer support DirectX 9. Steam also dropped support for DirectX 9 a while back so I don't expect this to cause any issues, but if anyone still wants to access the old version of the game, you can do so through the BETAs feature in Steam (select beta v1.7.8). Just be aware that the old version will not be able to play online against players using the new version. Also, the save files are not backwards compatible if you are toggling back and forth.

If anyone has issues, please reach out to me at https://support@hypersect.com or on the Discord server at https://discord.gg/hypersect

• INVERSUS will now recognize plugging in your headphones while the game is running.
  
• Changing your default audio device in Windows should also change it in INVERSUS mid game.
  
• I think the audio latency has also been reduced, but I haven’t actually done the testing necessary to verify this.

• Cloud saves are now properly working in the demo app (this was also preventing any save data from being stored by the demo).
  
• Both the full game and demo support running with either DirectX 11 or DirectX 9. If you have an older video card and want to use DirectX 9, just right click INVERSUS in your steam library and select the appropriate option to play.
  
• Improved error message for when running the DirectX 11 version of the game on an incompatible video card.
